Pilgrimage to Monteserrat – The Renaissance Players

Listening to music can sometimes be a religious experience; well this is a lengthy one. Just under two hours, over two disks of rapturous singing, impassioned, yearning, sometimes bleak songs all directed with beautiful harmonies by Winsome Evans.

The Renaissance players offset with a vast range of bells and acoustic instruments, rings with the medieval vocal patterns of the old world, evoking ecstasy in the talented arrangements of vocally driven performances.

Imagined jesters and feasts, kings and queens dance through ornately designed churches in the mind’s eye, images of exotic celebrations begin at the first note of the gemshorn. (SP)
