About

Thirty eight individual hymns, antiphons and responsories from 1st Vespers, Matins, Lauds, 2nd Vespers.

Presented here is a programme of 15th century Irish plainsong, written about St Patrick. It includes musical highlights for First and Second Vespers, Lauds & Matins, featuring the miracle stories and legends of Ireland's Patron Saint. The material has been especially researched and edited for Canty. It is believed that this is the first CD featuring mediaeval music about St Patrick. The CD booklet contains full texts and appropriate translations.

Canty, Scotland’s only professional medieval music group, was formed by Rebecca Tavener in 1998, the 900th anniversary of the birth of Hildegard of Bingen, and it comprises the regular female singers with Cappella Nova, Scotland’s leading early music vocal ensemble. As individuals, the singers bring to the group a wealth of experience, both as soloists and as members of other distinguished ensembles. Together with regular collaborator, harpist William Taylor, they explore a unique repertoire combining Medieval music and contemporary works written specially for them.
