The Red Book : Montreal
High in the Catalan mountains, in the shadow of the Monastery of Montserrat and its Marian sanctuary, medieval pilgrims journeyed to the rhythm of faith and music. This program explores the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, a fourteenth-century manuscript created to guide devotion through songs, prayers, and dances in Latin, Catalan, and Occitan, blending spiritual fervour, sacred intention, and popular forms — virelais and round dances. Performed by COMTESSA on vielle, citole, organetto, tambourine, and bells, this concert brings Montserrat back to life as a crossroads of passage and exchange, where travellers, monks, and pilgrims once came together in musical communion.
