And Glory Shone Around

IL POVERELLO: Medieval & Renaissance Music for Saint Francis of Assisi

The result of three years of scholarly research, this recording features a generous helping of medieval Italian instrumental dances (played on bagpipes, rebec, vielle, harp, recorder, pipe, and several percussion instruments), as well as early Italian-language spiritual and processional songs, lush choral motets from the Venetian School and soaring plainchant written in honor of one history’s most beloved saints.
