I bought the latter two of those issues yesterday and have started to work my way through them - so far the Missa Hecules etc and the works by Guerrero. Both albums are beautifully sung though OVPP enthusiasts might find the London Oratory Schola Cantorum rather too opulent.

It was something that popped up on YouTube based on my viewing history - I listen to the music of the troubadours and trouvères quite often. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Vocal Ensemble Cappella are directly influenced by Rebecca Stewart's Modal Singing,  and they are maybe the best example of that style practising today. They are active in Japan, and have some recordings, all of which are hard to get here -- I have their Machaut but nothing else. This is a live performance, with propers, of a mass by Walter Frye. I think it is exceptional.

and Josquin's Pange Lingua, in an empty Japanese church while COVID was ravaging the country

(oooo -- the Josquin's just gone all spiritual in the Gloria!)

 ;D Hello folks , please let me post on this separately because there is an issue here , what do we barely know is what happen in transitional era in between Gregorian an Ars vetus early ''deboire'', sorry I will says it in french because I might get lost in translation let's clarified...

Cher ami(e)s ils ya une zone tampon en plein centre ouu avant Les Ars Vetus qui n'est pas tout a faits des chants Gregorian et ppeenche plus vers le tout debut des Arts vetus hors ont ne sais quedale sur les compositeur du 11(FIN)12(DEBUT) siecle disont cette époque, certains manuscript de chanson seculaire doivent exister ou mais mélanger unpeu aux Gregorian sans en etre biensur en outre cela me semble mysterieux, les historienns ont t'il perdu des documents.

In English I want to know the foggy era(1050--1150) between  Gregorien and ars vetus, mysterious and enigmatic composer I am nerding out on 12th century and also end of 11 century. So what historian think of this era, oddity music that just sound  let's says bizarre for it's era an highly innovative, or foreign Europa perfume music.

I thank you all and want to apologize again and again and again to people may have had offended or disapproved or whatever I hope you understand, I am human if I falter If I was mean or your perceived me as a bad guy, a nasty person, a loose canon, am working on it since  sometime rarely post but when posting something interesting, I hope to God it get publish. So in the end I wish an awesome new year eve to everyone, even my worst enemy If I have any or my worst hater, so all have been said goodbye take care.   ;)

Aren't elaborate tropes the "zone tampon" you're looking for? Listen for example to the performances from The Winchester Troper on the Schola Gregoriana of Cambridge CD. I think these composers are all anonymous.

Hello dear Mandryka, yes this is something worth checking out, thanks a lot friend

Here what I had to offer to this post, how about we speak Mare Balticum serie vol 1-3.

What your favorite music of ancient lore Denmark (only have this in download) flac

The second is very interesting since I have it in CD medieval Finland and Sweden vol.2

Vol.3 is about a composer name Wizlav von Rugen, his style remind me of a continuation of Von Reutal, thee logical step.

Yes, a good thought, maybe that's what attracted Marc Lewon -- given that he has made such an excellent Neidhart CD. I must say that I think he is in very fine voice on that Wizlav von Rugen recording.

Ah...blast just ffound a CD I had by Manfred Cordes and Is wonderful Weser-Renaissance ensemble, when purchasing this at firstt, was skeptical, no because it was composer of poland but because they were nobody to me did not knew them...did not pay much attention tto this CPO release until now, the name of album is :Viirgo Prudentissima- adooration oof the virgin, Marry at the Polish Court, it feature the works of: Marcin Mielczewski, Adam Jarzebski, Mikolaj Zielensky ffor a total of almost 70 minutes counting.

Great Job CPO all musician  are born in mid 17th century. this release a triump.

Entering the bold & colorful world of SOLAGE, here the place to start, Ensemble Gothic Voice, name of the album: The Unknow Lovers songs by Solage and Machaut.

This feature most Solage song's if your starving for more Solage I would warmly subject Solage acoustic guitar rendition and semi acoustic, profige Noel Aktchoté done an album pretty, magical, it capture de sspirit of Solage music, very space in way or transcandent!

Another name Batiste Romain and his ensemble le mirroir de la musique was to me logical step after Solage, both are innovative, both share the same kind of chromatism of ancient lore, Lymburgia's music was insightful.
Music of a curious perfume, never seen afterrr Solage and Lymburgia iiss reminescent of Solage, like if he heard his music or music of his kinds.

Ars Subtilior was medieval music third era the most flamboyant extremelly rich in sounds...

Mandryka

For a more sensual approach to Solage than Gothic Voices, try Tetraktys.

OVPP all male, the central early music pieces are  by Compère (officium di cruce) and Willaert (Pater Noster.) All seems jolly good - if it were a concert you wouldn't regret going.
