Aquilonis (Latin "of the North Wind") is a classical and choral studio album by the Swedish trio Trio Mediæval recorded in June 2014 and released on the ECM New Series November that same year.[1]

Composition

The album is named after a Swedish North Wind. On this album the trio sings Icelandic chant and Italian sacred songs, with performing custom arrangements from old Norwegian folk melodies. The trio also sings some 15th-century English carols, as well as contemporary works by Anders Jormin, William Brooks and Andrew Smith. It's the first time that the trio also plays instruments with their voice on a record.[1]

Reception

James Manheim in his review for All Music says that "This certainly isn't an authentic performance of medieval music." but, he add that "In a way, it gets listeners closer than almost anybody else to the time when vertical sonorities in European music were new, and for those who have never heard it, it's time to begin."[2]

In The New York Times' Classical Top Music Recordings of 2014, James R. Oestreich says that "So varied are the sources that it is hard to find a theme or even a common thread. But the enchanting vocal style and sonority that the female trio has evolved unifies the whole beautifully."[3]
