The medieval laud was monophonic & paraliturgical, usually
with a rustic air about it. These songs were often performed with
improvised harmony, in a style somewhat similar to
organum. The two sources for this
recording are from Cortona & Firenze, illustrating the highlights
of this very broadly based genre.
La Reverdie's next recording extracted from these same sources:
- Legenda Aurea
- Laudes des Saints au Trecento italien
La Reverdie
Arcana 304
(These two have subsequently been released as
a set.)
