Description

|
|
The Hilliard Ensemble's performances of two-, three-, and four-part French Gothic polyphony are interwoven with reflections on historical approaches to the work of Perotinus Magnus. The Ensemble was filmed in Lübeck's St. Petri church, a hall basilica of cathedral-like dimensions with five naves, whose pillars and vaults were illuminated with video light using five high-performance video projectors. "This really is not a performance DVD, but rather a more abstract film that addresses the way contemporary culture directly affects interpretation of Catholic dogma, art, architecture, and music. Director Uli Aumüller ties all of this together with one overarching thread; that performances of Perotin historically have reflected the culture of the time of the performance and not the culture of the time of Perotin. This unifying theme provides a creative springboard for Aumuller, who presents a series of four separate narratives that are woven visually, aurally, and philosophically."—Notes
