Repertoire:
Musica Ficta specializes in early vocal music, polyphony as well as madrigals
and medieval music. Using the polyphonic experience and the sound and
clarity demanded by this music as a point of departure, Bo Holten and
his singers have also proceeded to other periods, not least the romantic.
All in all Musica Ficta's activities spans a wide register, focusing on
introducing the rare and less known repertoire set in a thematic frame.
Here is a selection of early music repertoire with links to further information:
:
Singing nuns and ladies from around 1200 - a programme
combining Notre Dame repertoire
performed by women, with women
trouvère repertoire from medieval France.
Le
Donne di Ferrara - a recreation of the most illustrious
ensemble of the late renaissance: The idolized trio of ladies at the court
of Alfonso II in the 1590's, to whom was composed an amazing amount of
music.
The European viewpoint:
A series of 13 concerts, each focusing on a court or metropol of 1600th
century Europe. The programmes illuminates how the strong pan-european
polyphonic tradition didn't result in conformity, but instead inspired
a great flourishing of national styles, both sacred and secular.
The versatile Lassus: Three programmes spanning the surprisingly
many sides of this composer genius: 1)The light-hearted Lassus 2) Lassus
with pomp and splendour 3) The
late Lassus (Lagrime di San Pietro)
