Musica Mystica I

The album Musica Mystica was produced for the television series "Mystical Women of the Middle Ages". Jeay sought to invoke the spirituality of those distant times by any means necessary, even using synthesizers to enhance the already remarkable songs. The album marries medieval-style compositions with interpreted pieces in their most simple arrangements. Indeed, the performers possess all the credibility and knowledge of early music required to do it justice.

 

What they say.

"In the case of Musica Mystica, the music was produced for the Mystic Women of the Middle Ages television series. In order to make the music more accessible for its purpose, programmed electronic music is used to enhance the authentic instrumentation. Similarly, some pieces are historical while others are newly composed in the medieval style. Before the purists amongst our readers cry sacrilege, it should be noted that the members of Ensemble La Volta do possess bona fide early music credentials (Medieval Babes they are not!) and that the arrangements are entrancingly beautiful."
