'A superb disc gloriously sung in an ideal acoustic' (Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

'Highly recommended' (Fanfare)

'Lost music re-born' said BBC Music Magazine of 'Magister Leoninus 1' issued in 1997. That disc won a Diapason d'Or d'Année and appeared among the BBC's 'Best of the Year' discs. Here, therefore, is a second CD of austere and beautiful music by this mysterious master from the 12th-century School of Notre Dame, of whose name we are not even sure. Red Byrd's new recording includes compositions for three of the most important feasts in the liturgical year: Christmas, Easter and Pentecost.

Tracks:

Christmas
Iudea et Iherusalem [6'55]
Descendit de celis [12'42]
Easter

Et valde mane [10'49]
Christus resurgens [5'55]
Sedit angelus [13'07]
Pentecost

Dum conplerentur [7'42]
Advenit ignis [6'21]
Repleti sunt omnes [7'12]
Benedicamus Domino [2'31]
