Conductus: Music And Poetry From 13th Century Fran

John Potter (tenor), Christopher O'Gorman (tenor), Rogers Covey-Crump (tenor)

Hyperion presents a second volume of music from the Conductus repertory – the least-known genre of medieval music – performed by tenors John Potter, Christopher O'Gorman, Rogers Covey-Crump, three singers who combine expert knowledge of the music with voices of unearthly beauty. This album contains poems set to music from thirteenth-century England and France. The subjects range from straightforward exhortations to the Virgin Mary to criticisms of the Papal Curia and a depiction of the student riots in Orléans in 1236.
