PGM 863 : "CONSONANCE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : Medieval, Baroque and Now

INTRO: The formal, pious, monarchical cultures that produced
what we call Medieval and Baroque music seem worlds removed
from the chaotic multicultural intensity of our era.

Yet, whether coming from cathedral or castle, dedicated to
the glory of God or the entertainment of man, whether modal
or harmonic, monophonic or polyphonic, homorhythmic or
contrapuntal — European music from the Middle Ages to the
18th century still speaks eloquently, and carries a message
of faith, civility and grace across the ages.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we revisit some of
the masters of this period — GESUALDO, DOWLAND, HANDEL,
and BACH — on an Early Music, Baroque and contemporary
journey called...CONSONANCE.
