Seasons of Love: Music from the 14th Century...
A program of medieval love poetry. It focuses on the works of the 14th-century composer Guillaume de Machaut, a man who was equal parts composer and poet.
Like our name suggests, Parlamento brings two parties into dialogue with each other. Along with the vocal and instrumental Machaut settings in our program, we highlight the Italian composers of the next generation, such as Johannes Ciconia and Anthonello da Caserta, who reinterpreted Machaut's works for their own people at their own time.Today, Parlamento's lute, fiddle, flute and voice combine to express the full spectrum of human love, which transcends nation and time.

Très beau!

[@michaeligoe3935]

Soothing beautiful magnificence. A treat for the jaded senses.

[@AncientLiteratureDude]

Absolutely beautiful. Some of the best period music I've ever heard played, maybe the best performance.

[@ailenmonti]

Thank you very much for your kind words!

[@johannesdegarlandia]

Who made the vielle? It sounds very nice.

[@ensembleparlamento]

Thank you! The vielle was made by Fabrizio Reginato in 1973.

@@ensembleparlamento That's why it sounds so good. Margriet Tindemans played one of his instruments (I believe that she owned two of them) and Shira Kammen has one that looks very similar to yours. I wish that I could get my hands on one.
