Album lore

...and... assembles Ars Nova Copenhagen under Paul Hillier’s direction in a 2020 release from Naxos, a label long associated with classical and early music repertory. The fourteen tracks traverse eras and styles, from medieval Gregorian chant and Renaissance polyphony to minimalism and musique concrète. The ensemble’s precise articulation frames ancient modes alongside contemporary textures, a dialogue sharpened by Hillier’s austere yet expressive conducting.Recorded in the early 2020s, this album situates Ars Nova Copenhagen within a lineage of vocal innovators committed to blending historical practice with modern experimentation. Tracks like "Guard My Tongue" reveal the choir’s clarity and control, while the program’s breadth underscores the ensemble’s facility across choral traditions. With its modest presence—under 5,000 Last.fm listeners—it remains a quietly significant document for those attuned to the intersections of early music and contemporary composition.
