Our Take

If Pitchfork Magazine were to review the album "Set Upon The Rood: New Music For Choir & Ancient Instruments" by Choir of Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, it might go a little something like this:

Imagine taking a nostalgic trip back in time to the medieval ages, but with a modern twist. That's exactly what Choir of Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge achieves with their latest album "Set Upon The Rood."

The album is a delightful fusion of ancient and contemporary sounds, blending together traditional choir vocals with the haunting melodies of ancient instruments. It's like wandering through a medieval marketplace while listening to a top 40 countdown.

Tracks like "Canticles of the Cross" transport you to a time of knights and chivalry, while "In Darkening Brambles" adds a modern edge with its experimental use of harmony and rhythm.

Choir of Gonville & Caius College's impeccable vocal performances are complemented beautifully by the rich textures of the ancient instruments, creating a sonic tapestry that is both captivating and otherworldly.

Overall, "Set Upon The Rood" is a fresh and innovative take on medieval music that will transport you to a bygone era while keeping your feet firmly planted in the present. It's a must-listen for anyone with a love of history and a taste for the avant-garde.
