Sequentia Discography
Sequentia, founded by Benjamin Bagby and the late Barbara
Thornton in 1977, has been one of the world's most popular medieval
ensembles. They have been active ambassadors for the music, and
incorporate male & female vocal ensembles, as well as
instrumentalists, depending on the program. Their signature work
has certainly been the preparation and recording of the complete
works of Hildegard von
Bingen.
In terms of performance style, the Sequentia founders were
students of Thomas Binkley and continue
with his basic ideas. They have continued an emphasis on improvisatory
techniques, as well as open communication with the audience.
The following discography is thought to be complete. Anyone
with information to the contrary is encouraged to contact me. Thank
you to Ed Reichenbach for various recent (9/2017) clarifications
& supplements.
