About the album

The Codex Faenza is one of the most significant Ars Nova manuscripts, captivating musicians and musicologists alike. The remarkable collection features instrumental arrangements on Italian and French vocal works by renowned 14th-century composers like Francesco Landini, Guillaume de Machaut, Jacopo da Bologna, and Bartolino da Padova. Through a unique fusion of original vocal models, the version arranged from the codex and newly composed diminutions by the performer, L'Amorosa Caccia creates an immersive auditory journey, inviting listeners into a world where composition and reinterpretation unfold in a truly three-dimensional listening experience. L’Amorosa Caccia performs on copies of medieval instruments and on the organ of the Basilique de Valère (1435), the oldest playable organ still extant.
Der Codex Faenza ist eines der bedeutendsten Manuskripte der Ars Nova und fasziniert Musiker und Musikwissenschaftler gleichermaßen. Die bemerkenswerte Sammlung enthält Instrumentalarrangements italienischer und französischer Vokalwerke von berühmten Komponisten des 14. Jahrhunderts wie Francesco Landini, Guillaume de Machaut, Jacopo da Bologna und Bartolino da Padova. Durch eine einzigartige Verschmelzung von originalen Vokalmodellen, der aus dem Kodex arrangierten Version und neu komponierten Diminutionen des Interpreten schafft L'Amorosa Caccia eine immersive Hörreise, die die Zuhörer in eine Welt entführt, in der sich Komposition und Neuinterpretation in einem wahrhaft dreidimensionalen Hörerlebnis entfalten. L'Amorosa Caccia spielt auf Kopien mittelalterlicher Instrumente und auf der Orgel der Basilique de Valère (1435), der ältesten noch spielbaren Orgel.
