One hour of browsing through early music, with an accent on Masses. La Cité des Dames part 2: music by female composers from the Middle Ages.
Part 2 of a two-part series on music by female composers from the Middle Ages, with recordings from the album CD ‘La Cité des Dames’ by Spanish ensemble Capella de Ministrers.
