Dalmatica Chants de l’Adriatique

Description

Behind the hundreds of islands and stories of war, the Croatian coastal region of Dalmatia hides endless musical treasures. In this powerful musical fresco, four singers from Dialogos and six traditional Croatian chanters explore the riches of Dalmatian musical traditions, at the border of the Roman Catholic and Byzantine worlds since the Middle Ages. Between the rare gems of Latin manuscripts and the polyphonic Glagolitic chants of the Croatian coastal, island, and inland regions, this recording reveals a tradition of the liturgical year ranging from Advent to Holy Week and invites us to discover this small country on the Adriatic Sea, with its rich and ancient musical roots born between the Western and Eastern Roman empires.
