On this album the trio sings [Iceland](/source/Iceland)ic chant and [Italian](/source/Italy) sacred songs, with performing custom arrangements from old [Norwegian folk melodies](/source/norwegian_folk_music). The trio also sings some 15th-century English carols, as well as contemporary works by [Anders Jormin](/source/Anders_Jormin), [William Brooks](/source/William_Brooks_(composer)) and Andrew Smith. It's the first time that the trio also plays instruments with their voice on a record. ==Reception== James Manheim in his review for [All Music](/source/Allmusic) says that "This certainly isn't an authentic performance of medieval music." but, he add that "In a way, it gets listeners closer than almost anybody else to the time when vertical sonorities in European music were new, and for those who have never heard it, it's time to begin." In [The New York Times'](/source/The_New_York_Times) ''Classical Top Music Recordings of 2014'', James R. Oestreich says that "So varied are the sources that it is hard to find a theme or even a common thread. But the enchanting vocal style and sonority that the female trio has evolved unifies the whole beautifully."{{cite news | title=''Classical Critics Pick the Top Music Recordings of 2014''| url =https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/19/arts/music/classical-critics-pick-the-top-music-recordings-of-2014.html| publisher = [The New York Times](/source/The_New_York_Times) | accessdate = June 24, 2017}} ==Track listing== {{Track listing | total_length = 1:00:52 | title1 = Vespers Reponsory | writer1 = ''Anonymous'' | length1 = 2:44 | title2 = Ama | writer2 = [Anders Jormin](/source/Anders_Jormin) | length2 = 2:47 | title3 = Ave rex angelorum | writer3 = ''Anonymous'' | length3 = 2:15 | title4 = Ecce quod natura mutat sua jura | writer4 = ''Anonymous'' | length4 = 4:42 | title5 = Ave Maris Stella | writer5 = Andrew Smith | length5 = 2:32 | title6 = Vespers Antiphon and Psalm I, II, III | writer6 = ''Anonymous'' | length6 = 7:12 | title7 = Ioseph fili David | writer7 = Andrew Smith | length7 = 2:37 | title8 = Ave Regina caelorum | writer8 = Andrew Smith | length8 = 1:35 | title9 = Alleluia: A Newë Work | writer9 = ''Anonymous'' | length9 = 4:47 | title10 = Morgonljos | writer10 = Linn Andrea Fuglseth & [Anna Maria Friman](/source/Anna_Maria_Friman) | length10 = 1:19 | title11 = Vespers Antiphon and Psalm IV, V | writer11 = ''Anonymous'' | length11 = 3:32 | title12 = Fammi cantar l'amor | writer12 = ''Anonymous'' | length12 = 2:49 | title13 = Gud unde oss her al leve så | writer13 = ''Traditional'' | length13 = 1:56 | title14 = Benedicti e llaudati | writer14 = ''Anonymous'' | length14 = 4:40 | title15 = Klokkeljom | writer15 = [Berit Opheim](/source/Berit_Opheim), Anna Maria Friman & Linn Andrea Fuglseth | length15 = 0:47 | title16 = Special Antiphon | writer16 = ''Anonymous'' | length16 = 1:55 | title17 = Ingen vinner frem til den evige ro | writer17 = ''Traditional'' | length17 = 5:04 | title18 = Fryd dig, di Kristi brud | writer18 = ''Traditional'' | length18 = 3:34 | title19 = I hamrinum | writer19 = Berit Opheim & Anna Maria Friman | length19 = 1:00 | title20 = Vale, dulcis amice | writer20 = [William Brooks](/source/William_Brooks_(composer)) | length20 = 3:05 }} ==Personnel== === Trio Mediæval === *[Anna Maria Friman](/source/Anna_Maria_Friman) – [voice](/source/voice), [Hardanger fiddle](/source/Hardanger_fiddle), melody chimes *Linn Andrea Fuglseth – [voice](/source/voice), [portable organ](/source/portable_organ), melody chimes *[Berit Opheim](/source/Berit_Opheim) – [voice](/source/voice), melody chimes ==References== {{reflist|30em}} {{Authority control}} Category:ECM Records albums Category:ECM New Series albums Category:2014 albums Category:Albums produced by Manfred Eicher --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Aquilonis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquilonis) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquilonis?action=history)).
