I must admit that this album was definitely one of the ones I listened to the most in all of 2024 and it saddens me to think that this is unfortunately the only release by the ensemble Magister Petrus, directed by the musician and musicologist Mauricio Molina. From the ensemble's website we read:
"Magister Petrus is an ensemble dedicated to the reconstruction and performance of music of the Romanesque and early Gothic periods. Directed by the musicologist Mauricio Molina, the group is primarily centered in two interwoven repertoires of the 12th and early 13th centuries: the so-called Latin Song or Vers genre comprised of a wide range of paraliturgical and secular art songs composed by clerics, and the music of the first and second generation of troubadours. Committed to rigorous scholarship and musically-satisfying reconstructions of a medieval repertoire, the group makes use of primary musical sources, analyzes iconographical and literary evidence, works hand-in-hand with musical instrument makers, and studies appropriate live music traditions in which some remnants of medieval practice can be recognized. With this multidisciplinary study Magister Petrus attempts to present a historically and musically coherent performance of some of the most exquisite musical traditions of the Middle Ages.
The name Magister Petrus pertains to a number of 12th– and 13th-century scholars named Peter (Petrus Abaelardus, Petrus Cantor, Petrus Blesensis, Petrus notator, Petrus de Cruce, and Petrus Le Viser among others) whose compositions, theoretical contributions, and descriptions of musical life have helped modern scholars and performers to reconstruct the music practice of the Middle Ages."
The repertoire presented here is clearly all from the 12th century, but some of these works are actually even older.
About the video: I used photographs of the details, sculptures and statues of the church of Aulnay-de-Saintonge, in France. Like the repertoire presented, this building was also built in the 12th century on top of a Gallo-Roman temple, destroyed by the Christians. The church is located on the Via Turonensis, one of the routes leading to Santiago de Compostela, and during the Middle Ages this complex earned a lot of gold and donations being an important destination for pilgrims. The church is adjacent to an ancient Merovingian cemetery, surrounded by majestic cypress trees. Around the church there are two gardens, a medieval one with various medicinal plants and vegetables, and an archaeological garden where the remains of the Gallo-Roman temple are located.

I wish you happy listening!
