Gruppo Vocale “ArmoniosoInCanto”
Perugia
Founded in 1997, it is made up of variable ensembles with a prevalence of female voices who work, seeking a vocal purity as close as possible to the interpretative canons of medieval and Renaissance music. The study of pure vocality is characterized by the linearity and timbral particularity of the voices that communicate a precise transparency and a sound that is useful for reviving the essence of prayer and the word of sacred texts amplified by ancient melodies. The research concerns music taken from the ancient codes of the Carolingian era, from medieval laudariums and from ancient liturgical and non-liturgical texts, from the medieval era with particular reference to those of the Umbrian and Tuscan areas.
