The main focus of the present CD is the music of the 13th and 14th centuries from Polish convents of the Order of St. Clare. The community based around St. Clare, who was canonized in 1255, was founded as a kind of convent without monastic rules, which followed the instructions of Francis of Assisi and lived in absolute poverty. Thanks to single surviving copies of fragments from the "Magnus Liber," the Ensemble Peregrina subtly brings to life the multilayered spiritual and musical landscapes of these convents. The rarities found on this recording are particularly worth mentioning - and listening to. They include the two works "et via regens devium" and the conductus "Omnia beneficia."
