Our Take
Our Take
The Orlando Consort’s latest album, “Guillaume Dufay: Lament for Constantinople & Other Songs,” is like a time machine that takes you back to the 15th century, but with a modern twist. Dufay, one of the most renowned composers of the Renaissance period, brings his magical touch to these hauntingly beautiful pieces that will transport you to a world of elegant court dances and heavenly harmonies.
The album opens with the titular track, “Lament for Constantinople,” a poignant ode to the fall of the Byzantine Empire that tugs at the heartstrings with its mournful melodies and ethereal vocals. The Orlando Consort’s impeccable blend of voices captures the sorrow and longing of Dufay’s composition, creating a truly immersive listening experience.
But don’t let the melancholy vibe fool you - there are plenty of surprises in store on this album. Tracks like “Ce moys de May” and “Je me complains” showcase Dufay’s playful side, with lively rhythms and intricate counterpoint that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time.
Overall, “Lament for Constantinople & Other Songs” is a masterful showcase of Dufay’s genius, brought to life by the impeccable musicianship of the Orlando Consort. So grab a goblet of mead, put on your finest doublet, and let yourself be whisked away to a bygone era of music and merriment. You won’t regret it.
