Under the direction of Paul van Nevel, founder and authority on the performance and study of Flemish music, the Belgian choral ensemble Wergus Ensemble has arguably laid the foundation for contemporary performance with its recordings of mainly Renaissance music. The music composed on the European continent in the 14th century has been written and transmitted in many manuscripts. The Codex Chantilly, with 120 polyphonic compositions by mainly French composers from 1350 to 1400, is one of the most famous manuscripts. However, the polyphonic music of fourteenth-century England is not well known and to this day is little studied.The Welgus Ensemble in this recording opens up an unknown repertoire of 14th century England from manuscripts in the libraries of Cambridge, Oxford, Durham, Worcester, York, and London. The album includes musical forms such as the Condoctus and Zimmer, as well as motets, masses, and secular music. During the late Middle Ages, these works originated in different regional traditions and were passed on anonymously. This is why this culture is little known elsewhere in Europe and has remained so to this day. [4]\"Virgo salvavit hominem\" is perhaps the most \"English\" piece on the recording. [3] \"Stella maris illustrans omnia\" and [11] \"Kyrie Cuthberthe\" are examples of the use of extreme modulations applied to English medieval polyphony.[6] \"Exulta Syon filia \/ En aijebientrouve\" and [8] \"Candens crescit lilium \/ Candens lilium columbina\" retain strong stylistic features of the French, indicating that they were considerably influenced by them The name \"Candens lilium\" is probably the most famous insult of medieval England. Perhaps the most famous and enduring piece of medieval England,[5] \"Summer is Coming\" (one of the earliest four-part canons, a melody that most people in England can whistle), is a piece that is also one of the most famous and most popular of all the English works. The album ends quietly with [13] \"O Mother of my Son, Pray for me,\" interspersed with religious pieces. The beautiful and unique polyphonic music technique, which makes extensive use of the sweet sound of chords that were rarely used in continental European countries, is a natural and pleasant sound that overturns the image we had of \"Ars Nova\" music, which had been considered central to the music of the Middle Ages, which was about to undergo a renaissance. The sound of naturally resonant chords is developed.
