Nowell Synge We Bothe Al & Som / Various- Nowell Synge We Bothe Al & Som (CD)
Gothic Voices' reputation for the originality of it's programming is cemented with it's first recording of medieval Christmas music, in which Julian Podger reimagines a fifteenth-century carol evening. Mirroring the modern practice of performing mostly music from the preceding centuries alongside some contemporary repertoire, the programme includes late medieval English carols, chant, mono-and polyphonic songs and motets for the Advent and Christmas season, focusing on Mary, her Annunciation and the birth of Jesus. Larger-scale festive motets and mass movements by English late medieval celebrities John Dunstaple and Leonel Power also feature. The 'evening' concludes with a summons to wake up to the significance of Christmas, with the conductus callResonet, intonet introducing the carols Nowell syng we bothe al and som and Nowell: Owt of your slepe and the great Christmas chant Puer natus est nobis, arranged here into a joyful finale. This recording has been widely anticipated since a performance of this repertoire in December 2016 was chosen by BBC Music Magazine as it's number one unmissable Christmas event
