  • Description

    Quintus Horatius Flaccus commonly known in the English-speaking world as Horace, was the leading Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus (Octavian). Between the tenth and twelfth centuries, Horace's carmina were sung in monasteries, preserving the voice of classical poetry within medieval culture. In this recording, Stefano Albarello revives fourteen of those odes, reconstructed from ancient neumatic notation, together with a unique melody from Terence's Eunuchus. "Vocem cum cithara dedit" reveals a forgotten world where Latin verse, rhythm, and melody merged -- the living echo of antiquity resonating through the Middle Ages.
