Info for Ch’amor mi prese - Amore sacro e profano nel Medioevo italiano

The pieces on this album come from a unique and extraordinary period in our history, the period between the 13th and 14th centuries, when communal societies and seignories were established in central and northern Italy: in the years of respite after the end of the struggles between the Empire and the Papacy, Italian national sentiment flared up in a great spiritual, artistic, political and social fervour. In this fertile environment, a new musical art, the Ars Nova, flourished. In contrast to the liturgical polyphony of the Ars Antiqua (13th to 12th century), which from the first experiments with organs culminated in the highly refined practice of the School of Notre Dame, the term Ars Nova designates the development of secular polyphonic music from the 13th century in France and from the 15th century in Italy. The idea of dedicating an album to the theme of love in 14th-century Italian music might seem abused, so rich and varied is the discography on the subject. And yet the reflection on love undeniably continues to be central in our lives, just as it was for the men and women of seven hundred years ago, whose voices we interpret in ‘Ch'amor mi prese’. There are elements proper to human nature whose essence does not change over the centuries, and the sentiment of love is one of them: it expresses itself through new forms and different codes, but its innermost essence is unscathed by the passage of time. It does not matter whether the object of love, or its inspiring subject, is human or divine: it produces in those who experience it that inexplicable and overwhelming bewilderment that poets, writers, composers, philosophers and mystics in every time and place have tried to express in words or music.
