Program: #04-02 Air Date: Jan 05, 2004
NOTE: All of the music on this program is from the recording Codex Engleberg 314, with the Chorus of the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis directed by Dominique Vellard and Wolf Arlt.
Preservation of this program is made possible by a generous grant from a Friend of Millennium of Music.
It is a collection of sacred music from the German-speaking world collected at the Benedictine Monastery of Engleberg in the remote valley at the foot of the Titlis at the time of the Black Death. Support for these programs comes in part from the Cultural Section of the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, D.C. (www.swissemb.org), with additional support from Pro Helvetia, the Arts Council of Switzerland (www.pro-helvetia.ch).
