Review of the Marian Consort – Winged Woman | Concerti.de

If you scan the titles of this album by The Marian Consort, you put it in the Renaissance. Because there are mainly Sage songs among them. If you look closely you will notice that all the composers come from the 20th century, and many of them were born in the 80s and 90s. With some interesting exceptions (Anna Semple, Ben Rowworth, James MacMillan, the wonderful: Danny Howard), much of it is effective, contemplative retro choral music that was often composed in the Anglo-Saxon world: tonally grounded, with occasional dissonance. Catalysts, compatible with everyone’s universal taste. Without risk, experimentation or risk. Some things sound like you’ve heard them before, others are predictable. Something like that cannot be binding. Even if it is perfectly sung, it is better to use examples from music history.
