The setting is a convent in Sijena, founded at the end of the 12th century by Sancha, queen of King Alfonso II of Aragon. Under royal patronage, the Knights of St. John were in charge of the convent, which held ceremonial processions with musical recitations on three feasts each year: Baptism Thursday in early spring, Easter, and the feast of St. John in early summer. The recording engineering is truly superb, vividly conveying the acoustic space of the old Romanesque church with its vaulted ceiling, where monophonic chants, sometimes sung en unison, are beautifully sung solo, accompanied by sustained fiddle notes, improvisations, harp and bell sounds. This is a piece that allows the listener to relive the customs of the intellectuals of days gone by in sound, thanks to the meticulous research and superb musicianship of the performers.
