Following it's Linn debut which saw the 'revitalization of an iconic group' (Choir & Organ), Gothic Voices presents The Dufay Spectacle, featuring special guest Andrew Lawrence-King. In a pageant of versatility featuring France's greatest pre-Renaissance composer we enter the world of a grand New Year's Day wedding feast, full of optimism and vision, tempered by playful emotional hardship, the music teasingly exploring the relationship between both, solemnized with some of Guillaume Dufay's greatest motets and a festive use of instruments to mark the splendor of the occasion. From this final flourish of the mediaeval era we hear in Dufay's quintessential Burgundian virtuosity how it's musical richness has reached the point when it is about to burst into the new artistry and ideas of the Renaissance. The Dufay Spectacle celebrates this artist's genius with an eclectic show of frolicking and passionate robustness, plaintive devotional ardor, with slow, dark rhythms, upbeat cascades of melody, and thrilling complex rhythms. As the central chanson rings out it's New Year's promise ce jour de l'an is indeed a day to celebrate.
