The New York Choral Society presented Angel of Many Signs, a superb digital, instrumental, choral, and visual art synthesis. This production was billed as “a multi-media and multi-disciplinary concert bridging centuries of feminine imagination and power.”
Léonin (d. 1201) was not just a medieval composer. He was a forward-thinking pioneer whose legacy lives on today. Thanks to his contributions, polyphonic music became a reality, featuring more than one voice part. Leonin started this revolution during the late 12th century and has been widely recognized as the first composer to create music in this unique style.
