About

Natalis Cordat (c.1610-1663), was a country vicar who wrote very refined and aristocratic 'noëls' whilst Nicolas Saboly (1614-1678), the caustic master of an Avignon Chapel, was a writer of small pieces in a popular vein.

The Camera delle Lacrime approaches these noëls in a most delightful way. They perfectly catch the historical context of these works, which originate in medieval mystery plays and which were very popular in the 16th and 17th centuries. Such a performance is the trademark of this ensemble.

None of Natalis Cordat's noëls has ever been recorded before.
