Kyrja á mótum miðalda: Josquin des Prez og íslensk þjóðlög

Þó að úthaf skilji Ísland og meginland Evrópu að er landið samtengt álfunni í anda og söng og deilir með henni fornum tónlistarrótum. Sönghópurinn Kyrja kannar tónlistarlandslag 15., 16. og 17. aldar á Íslandi og víðar og flytur messuna ‘Ave maris stella’ eftir Josquin des Prez (um 1450–1521). Messan var samin í Róm kringum árið 1490 og er talin eitt helsta meistaraverk fransk-flæmskrar fjölradda tónlistar. Inni á milli messuþátta hljóma íslensk sálmalög og tvísöngur frá 16. og 17. öld, til að mynda Ó Jesú ljúfasti, Lánið drottins lítum mæta og Anda þinn, Guð, mér gefðu víst.


Kyrja at the Crossroads of the Middle Ages: Josquin des Prez and Icelandic Folk Songs

Although separated by an ocean, Iceland and mainland Europe are bound in spirit and in song, sharing ancient musical roots. The vocal ensemble Kyrja will explore the musical landscape of the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries in Iceland and beyond, performing ‘Missa Ave maris stella’ by Josquin des Prez (c. 1450–1521). The Mass was composed in Rome around 1490 and is regarded as one of the central works of Franco-Flemish polyphonic music. Interspersed between the movements of the Mass are Icelandic hymn tunes and tvísöngur, traditional Icelandic two-voice singing, from the 16th and 17th centuries.
