A pinnacle of complexity in the musical history of Europe, the French and Latin songs contained in the so-called
Codex Chantilly circa 1400 reflect the taste of popes and famous secular rulers such as Jean Duc de Berry.

These works, interpreted by the Ferrara Ensemble, reflect the unprecedented progress of technology (the
‘capture’ of time, seen in the development of clocks and music notation), the breathtaking refinement of art
(including milestones like the Très Riches Heures of Berry) and questions about love and the meaning of life,
in a period of the Black Death, devastating earthquakes, the Hundred Years War between France and England,
and the fracture of the Roman Catholic Church.

● A long-awaited new release of one of the world’s most respected medieval music ensembles, Crawford Young’s Ferrara Ensemble continues its interpretation of late Gothic composers Trebor, Solages, Senleches and others.
