La Main Harmonique was founded to promote mediaeval and Renaissance music. The term refers to a mnemonic device which takes its name from the early theoretician, Guido d'Arezzo. One starts by feeling encouraged that yet another small, independent, group is dedicated to furthering polyphonic and solo music from the period. It doesn't take very long for that encouragement to be justified. Theirs is singing of great poise, delicacy and precision as they work their way sensitively through small-scale works from the courts of the Château de Moulins and Duke of Bourbon during the reigns of Anne and Pierre II of Beaujeu in the later fifteenth century. This was a cultural environment which saw a huge flowering of patronage, invention and coming together of poets and composers, producing a true trove of music that's already widely recorded, to be sure. Though with performances accomplished with the degree of gentility and meticulousness as exhibited by La Main Harmonique on this Ligia CD, there's always room for more. In fact, not all of the works here presented have been recorded previously.
The music is chiefly by Flemish composers, Johannes Ockeghem (1410/1425-1497) and Loyset Compère (c.1445-1518) with a couple of works from their contemporaries, Alexander Agricola (1445/1446-1506) and Johannes Ghiselin-Verbonnet (fl. 1491-1507). In their evenly-paced and somewhat introspective accounts, La Main Harmonique not only point up some of the defining characteristics of each of those composers, but thereby also provide contrast between them – and an according freshness. Ghiselin-Verbonnet's O florens rosa [tr.6], for example, has trickling instrumental accompaniments; the very next item, the celebrated Mort, tu as navré de ton dart, the longest item on the disk at nine minutes, is even and unwinds slowly with what at first seems mere ambulatory articulation. In fact, La Main Harmonique conveys its dignity, regret and concentrated sense of loss clearly and with real passion.
