Davide Daolmi, one of the most important medievalists of our time, writes in the booklet accompanying this CD: "What we hear creates what we see. We listen to music from a thousand years ago to see the Middle Ages. Or rather, to confirm the Middle Ages that we already think we know: from school lessons, novels, poems, photographs, films, television series, paintings. These are modern inventions based on a past so distant in time that it might as well be another planet, about which we know so little that almost any fantasy can pass as legitimate. That is where we must start before we assume that even a single note of medieval music is true."

This new album by Murmur Mori is a true journey into the past and demonstrates the incredible musicality of the ensemble, based on extensive and thorough research into historical documents.
