Lionheart
My Fayre Ladye

*The Beloved*
Quam pulcra es
Quam pulcra es
Ibo michi ad montem mirre
Who shall have my fayre ladye?
Salve regina misericordie
*The Unfathomable*
Adew mes amours
A robyn, gentyl robyn
Iff I had wytt for to endyght
*The Maternal*
Quid petis o fili?
*The Desired*
Tota pulcra es
Up Y Arose
And I war a maydyn
Blow thi horne hunter
*The Triumphant*
Anima mea liquefacta est
O regina mundi clara
Beata Dei genitrix

This musical homage to the fairer sex is performed by the all male sextet "Lionheart," whose member's impeccable credentials include past association with Anonymous 4. The group's foundation, and the cornerstone of it's sound, is Gregorian Chant, a style that is epitomized here. In medieval times, the church was the locus of existence, and expressions of devotion were central in music and art. Therefore, it is understandable that the role of woman in culture would be regarded similarly, and that songs of praise to her would take on a religious connotation, as to the Virgin Mother Mary. Predominant on this recording is the Sarum Chant, a plainsong used in rituals at Salisbury Cathedral in England. The melodies are simple and unembellished, the mood subdued.
