Responsorium - Terribilis Est Lous Iste - Vox Nostra

1. Vox Nostra is a vocal ensemble based in Berlin, Germany, founded in 1999 by Burkard Wehner and specialized in the performance of medieval music. The main focus of the group is the interpretation of the earliest surviving compositions from the cultural centers of Europe. Sung from manuscripts originating in monasteries, cathedrals, and courts, the music of Vox Nostra is an acoustical insight into the archaic sound world of the Middle Ages.

In addition to early music, Vox Nostra sings contemporary music, experimenting with vocal color and micro-intervals.

2. VOX NOSTRA was born in 2007 to combine choir vocals with progressive rock music. Hailing from Rambouillet/France keyboard player Pierre Minvielle is the mastermind. He's got a classical education on piano starting at the age of 6 and holds two masters in arrangement and orchestration. His latest project is made up by the emphasis on expressive male and female vocals which are associated with a diversified keyboard and guitar texture.

They are one of the rare projects in France to sing latin lyrics. The band's first album 'Anima' (which means whisper, voice, soul) was released in 2009. It's an ambitious work composed with a liturgic background and equipped with jazz rock/fusion and symphonic leanings. VOX NOSTRA features guitarist Jean-Claude Delachat who played for MAGMA some time and was the member of another zeuhl band named EIDER STELLAIRE. Read more on Last.fm.
