Listen
In the 13th century, Paris became the largest city in Europe as well as its major artistic centre. New musical styles developed there, notably at Notre-Dame Cathedral, characterized by the superb polyphonies of Léonin and Pérotin and by the introduction of rhythmic modes. The program of this CD favors the conducted genre, song originally intended to accompany a trip to the heart of the office. The conduit designates compositions that stand out from the Gregorian by newly created poems and melodies and by the introduction of polyphony.

"A real masterstroke for this young ensemble. Diabolus in Musica thus brings with this "vox sonata" a "size" stone to the discographic edifice of the Notre Dame school and to Gothic polyphonies."
Jean-François Goudesenne - Diapason, 1998
