To this day, the early polyphony of the High Middle Ages exerts an enormous fascination. For the first time, it was possible to organize music with two to four voices rhythmically complex and to document it in a specially developed notation. Additionally, the intersecting melodies create such an attraction that it continues to resonate today. This cultural achievement is epoch-making.

The cathedral Notre Dame in Paris develops into the central place of this upheaval. Here, the names of three composers emerge, whose works will be performed this evening: Leonin, Perotin, and Philippe the Chancellor.

The male vocal ensemble voices unlimited from Salzburg ensures the vocal splendor. Cristína Raurich, Anne-Suse Enßle, and Philipp Lamprecht enrich selected pieces with organetto, bells, and flutes.

As contemporary works, a world premiere for solo percussion by the Basque composer Mikel Iturregi as well as a duo work for recorder and vibraphone by the Austrian Peter Jakober will be performed.
