About this concert

Psallentes sings on this Day of Hours mainly from a Hoefnagel manuscript from Tongeren (c. 1300) that is kept in the Royal Library of The Hague. The centrepiece is the office that the young monk Jean de Cornillon wrote for the Liège feast of Corpus Christi, known in the region as ‘La Fête-Dieu’.

About the performers

The ensemble Psallentes was founded in 2000 by singer and conductor Hendrik Vanden Abeele. The ensemble seeks out plainchant and associated polyphony from various historical periods. Particular attention is paid to plainchant of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. Insights into this are fostered by practice-based research by Vanden Abeele. Since 2007 Psallentes has been operating in male-only and female-only line-ups.
