Coro De Monjas Del Monasterio Cisterciense De Santa María La Real De Las Huelgas, Atrium Musicae - El Códice de las Huelgas S XII XIV
Review by Keli Adams
The album El Códice de las Huelgas S XII XIV by Coro De Monjas Del Monasterio Cisterciense De Santa María La Real De Las Huelgas, Atrium Musicae is a stunning collection of medieval music. The choir of nuns from the Cistercian monastery of Santa Maria La Real de Las Huelgas, along with Atrium Musicae, have created a beautiful and haunting soundscape that transports the listener back in time.
The album features a variety of chants and songs from the 12th to the 14th centuries, all taken from the Codex of Las Huelgas, a manuscript containing music written for the nuns of the monastery. The music is performed with great care and attention to detail, with the choir's voices blending together beautifully to create a rich, full sound.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Ave Maris Stella," a hymn to the Virgin Mary that is performed with a delicate, ethereal quality. Another highlight is "Veni Sancte Spiritus," a chant that builds in intensity as it progresses, with the choir's voices rising and falling in unison.
