St Sigfrids Officium: Celebremus Karissimi

There are many possibilities about how to interpret Gregorian chant today, just as there was in the Middle Ages. The Ensemble Gemma strives for a flexible, textbased song where the accentuation of the words forms the foundation for the melodic line. In this recording we have used a pronunciation of the Latin as it is believed to have sounded during the High Middle Ages in Sweden. Three of the antiphons have been performed with psalmody, in order to some extent high-light the most important task of the Office: The weekly recitation of the 150 psalms from the Old Testament's Book of Psalms and the cantica from the New Testament.
