Free Music Notes for Dunstable: Sweet Harmony - Masses and Motets

Free Music Review: Dunstable's Musical Sublime
Hit: 5 Stars


The "sweet harmony" here refers to the then-revolutionary use of thirds and sixths, which were previously considered dissonant. Strange to think that they are now anathema for any serious modern composer! There is also a noticeable increase in the freedom of individual voices, in some pieces different voices singing different texts, allowing for a new harmonic and rhythmic complexity which leads to moments of the "musical sublime"; In other words, an overwhelming sound that gives the listener a feeling of a great expanse or an immense presence (cf. Mahler's 8th). The recording was made in Chancelade Abbey and is pleasantly reverberant, but not at the expense of clarity.

This disc is yet another entry in Tonus Peregrinus's excellent discography, further cementing their status as the premiere Medieval and Renaissance group recording today.
