Laude Cortonese Band 3

Laude were short mediaeval devotional songs to the Virgin Mary, and Gavin Bryars has kept to the pure, lyrical style of the originals. Following the successful publication of Bryars’ first and second volume of laude, which singers around the world have added to their repertoire, this third volume for various combinations of soprano, tenor, viola, cello, double bass and bass clarinet provides new opportunities for performers and audiences to experience these devastatingly beautiful works.
