13th Century Songs from Anonymous 4
The legendary early music vocal quartet Anonymous 4 joins Fred Child to talk about the simple, penetrating beauty of music from the Huelgas Codex, a 13th century manuscript discovered in a Spanish convent. Anonymous 4 talks about the remarkable history of this unique document, and sings highlights from the music. We'll also compare Tchaikovsky's bluebird melody from "Sleeping Beauty" with a real bluebird song, and hear Tchaikovsky's bird call from a concert in Bergen, Norway.
