Winchester Cathedral, one of the most famous Gothic cathedrals in medieval England, is the site where the Winchester Tropes (Winchester Manuscript), a collection of polyphonic music that is one of the oldest surviving musical scores, was written. It dates back to the 1000s, or two centuries before the organum of Notre Dame, the widely known polyphonic music of the Middle Ages. The Croatian group Dialogos, which boasts a unique record of research and performance of medieval vocal music, has produced a new masterpiece, based on the theme of St. Swizan (c. 800 - 863), who was the bishop of this cathedral and was also its patron saint before the Reformation. Led by Katarina Livyanici, Dialogos was the last group to record an album as recording engineer before the death of Arcana label founder Michel Bernsten, and although the group has many recordings on the label, this is the first time they have tackled English music. In addition to the music from the Tropes collection that forms the core of the program, the group sings a poem in honor of St. Swithan, written at about the same time in the same cathedral, in an improvised style that reflects the polyphonic style of the time.The mysterious sense of otherworldliness unique to medieval music sung a capella by only female voices, combined with the distinctive \"eastern\" voice of Dialogos, enhances the charm of the indescribable sense of harmony in early polyphonic music. The extensive commentary will not disappoint listeners who are interested in specialized knowledge.
