The Age Of Cathedrals - Music From The Magnus Liber Organi - Paul Elliott, Alan Bennett, Paul Hillier, Theatre Of Voices, dir. Paul Hillier / Harmonia Mundi Audio CD / HMU 907157 UPC 093046715724 // The Magnus Liber or Magnus liber organi (English translation: Great Book of Organum), written in Latin, was a repertory of medieval music known as organum. This collection of organum survives today in three major manuscripts. This repertoire was in use by the Notre-Dame school composers working in Paris around the end of the twelfth and beginning of the thirteenth centuries, though it is well agreed upon by scholars that Leonin contributed a bulk of the organum in the repertoire. This large body of repertoire is known from references to a "magnum volumen" by Johannes de Garlandia and to a "Magnus liber organi de graduali et antiphonario pro servitio divino" by the English music theorist known as Anonymous IV. Today it is known only from later manuscripts containing compositions named in Anonymous IV's description. The Magnus Liber is regarded as one of the earliest collections of polyphony. // Label: Harmonia Mundi – HMU 907157 Format: CD, Album Country: Germany Released: Genre: Classical Style: Religious, Medieval /// Tracklist: Music From The Magnus Liber Organi 1 Resonemus Hoc Natali 3:23 2 Natus Est Rex 5:27 3 In Hoc Anni Circulo 7:40 4 Congaudeant Catholici 3:54 5 De Monte 2:34 6 Ve Mundo 3:17 7 Benedicamus Domino - Humane Prolis 2:45 8 In Natale 6:04 9 Lilium Floruit 4:34 10 Propter Veritatem 7:01 11 Orienti Oriens 2:21 12 Virgo Flagellatur 6:30 13 Mors 1:37 14 Templum Cordis 5:38 15 Benedicamus Domino 4:23 16 Beata Viscera 10:03 // Baritone Vocals, Conductor, Liner Notes – Paul Hillier Composed By – Adam Of St. Victor (tracks: 8, 14), Albertus Parisiensis (tracks: 4), St.
