Hörprobe: TRIO MEDIAEVAL

Oslo’s Trio Mediaeval presents a reconstruction of a 

13th century votive Mass to the Virgin Mary, based 

on surviving manuscripts from a Benedectine Abbey 

in the English Midlands. Inserted amid the medieval 

music are a Credo and Benedicamus Domino specially 

composed for this programme by Gavin Bryars: the 

old and the new intermingle in the work of this vocal 

ensemble. Anna Maria Friman: “The members of Trio 

Mediaeval feel that performing medieval music today 

gives us the freedom to let our imagination and ideas 

flow, as though we are creating contemporary music.”
