Russell Oberlin
Music Of The Middle Ages, Vol. 5 English Medieval Songs (12th And 13th Centuries)
Album US 1994 on Lyrichord Early Music Series label
Classical (Medieval)
Very few early English songs survive. Continental modal forms, fused with lost musical structures and traditions of the ancient Celts, combined to create a uniquely English monodic song form. The exceptionally beautiful St. Godric Songs (c.1150), are the earliest known songs in the English language. They are exquisitely performed here by the legendary countertenor Russell Oberlin, possibly the greatest countertenor of our century. This recording also features Seymour Barab on English fretted Viol, both under the musical direction of Saville Clark. Includes extensive liner notes by Saville Clark and William Bittner. Total Time 36:00
