The internationally renowned Anonymous 4’s newest program is a return to the heart of the quartet’s favorite century, and to a repertoire that confirms medieval women could—and did—sing the most complex polyphony written in the Gothic era. This varied repertoire of 13th-century polyphony and sacred Latin song was collected for the convent Las Huelgas at Burgos in north central Spain. The group will also collaborate with Stanford music faculty members William Mahrt and Jesse Rodin on a “chant camp” for students and the public on October 19.

If vocal chant is the most pure, devotional form of music (as was thought in the Middle Ages), then Anonymous 4 is its guardian angel. This female group of four a cappella singers has done much to preserve and expose this form of music through live performance and more than 20 recordings, even offering “Chant Camp” for those who want a deeper experience.
