Sounds of Renaissance Florence

Anchored by a stunning chant manuscript—the Burke Antiphonal—the film seeks to recapture the soundscape of fifteenth-century Florence through a special collaboration between Cut Circle and Stanford students.

Gorgeous visual imagery and discussions of liturgy, bookmaking, and vocal technique are interwoven with full-blooded performances of chant, non-notated polyphony, motets, and rowdy carnival songs. Released in 2021.
