About
A second volume of music from the Conductus repertory - the least-known genre of medieval music, the ‘poor relation’ of organum and motets - performed by three singers who combine expert knowledge of the music with voices of unearthly beauty.
This album contains poems set to music from thirteenth-century England and France. The subjects range from straightforward exhortations to the Virgin Mary, to criticisms of the Papal Curia and a depiction of the student riots in Orléans in 1236.

‘There have been remarkably few recordings of the conductus repertory- those marvellous settings of mainly accentual Latin goliardic poetry from the years around 1200 … John Potter is one of the most experienced singers in the world for this kind of music and he is magically balanced by the glorious voice of the much younger Christopher O’Gorman. For the three-voice pieces the still impeccable Rogers Covey-Crump joins them … these are seriously classy performances’ - Gramophone (on Vol.1)
