Our friend Chris Mueller, who directs the music here in New York for Notre Dame, the Polish Dominican parish up near Columbia, joined what you’d have to call the battle of the early music bands last week. Secular vs. Sacred, the event featured Trio Triumvirum , an all-male ensemble singing religious music from medieval Europe, and Machicoti , an all-female ensemble singing profane music from the same time and place.
Since not everyone could make it up to Notre Dame, Chris has posted two sample videos from the September 10th event, both of Trio Triumvirum: what they call “an intimate Agnus Dei ” (actually, two of them) and a Sanctus from the fourteenth century. Well worth a listen, if you didn’t attend the performance. Worth a listen even if you did.
