Gallicantus
The early music ensemble Gallicantus was born within the ranks of the Tenebrae Choir, when six of the choir’s regulars, each with a wealth of experience in the world of consort singing, decided to form a separate group dedicated to renaissance music. Literally meaning Rooster Song or cock crow, Gallicantusis a word from monastic antiquity for the office held just before the dawn. It evokes the renewal of life offered by the coming day. Directed by Gabriel Crouch, the group is bound by a shared love of communicating text, and is committed to creating performances which draw out unifying themes within apparently diverse repertoire: To this end they are as meticulous about providing context and insight for audiences as they are about crafting interpretations of the music they love.
