saeculorum - five centuries of medieval music
We set ourselves the pleasurable task of featuring four tunes from each of the five centuries for which we have substantial repertoire - so Saeculorum covers from c1000 to c1500 AD. It was also an opportunity to include some music from our back catalogue of which we are still very fond - so you'll find 'Orientis Partibus' from our 1998 'Medieval & Renaissance Music' (our first ever recording, which was released on CD and TAPE!) Also on Saeculorum is 'Pensis chief, enclin' from our discontinued 'Por Mon Corage' and 'L'homme armé', recorded in 2008 for a fifteenth-century project that never finally happened. It is simply too good not to get an airing!

outremer - beyond the sea
In a departure from our usual style, Outremer features modern compositions with many medieval tunes included, performed on a mixture of medieval and modern instruments. Paul's compositions for Outremer took as their jumping-off point the theme of the crusades.

medievalia - a medieval musical miscellany
Four compositions each themed on a particular aspect of medieval music and drawing heavily on the original sources. Only period instruments have been used. The four themes are (1) the music of the Ludus Danielis, (2) the dances of the Chansonnier du Roi, (3) the Cantigas de Santa Maria, and (4) music of the Italian trecento

magna melodia - music from the time of the magna carta
The CD features over twenty songs and melodies of the 12th/13th century recorded by Trouvere in 2014/2015. This recording features medieval lute, gittern, harp, symphony (a form of medieval hurdy gurdy), double flute, whistles, transverse flutes and voice.
The music is drawn from various manuscripts but focuses mostly on the Troparium de Catania (Norman Sicilian - 12th century) and the Ludus Danielis, Egerton Manuscript (Northern France - early 13th century). The CD also includes English music and songs of the troubadours and trouveres.
