Since its founding in 2001, the vocal ensemble VOX NOSTRA under the direction of Burkard Wehner has devoted practically and theoretically to the vocal music of the Middle Ages. <\/span><\/p>\n

With the overtone-rich and space-filling vocal sound of pure intervals, the singers take their audience away into archaic soundscapes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Unanimous Gregorian chants over 1000 years old, ancient psalms and the hypnotic songs of Hildegard von Bingen are just as much part of the repertoire of the ensemble, as the finely chiselled 13th-century motets or the bewitching polyphony of the Parisian master Perotin. <\/span><\/p>\n

The human breath is the measure of time for this music, whose magic unfolds through the rich ornamentation of the Neumes and through the seemingly endless melodies. In liturgically-based concert programs, the spiritual music tradition of Europe is made tangible, as the singers in the respective church room walk around and hear it singing and make it sound with their singing. <\/span><\/p>\n

VOX NOSTRA’s musicology-based working methods include singing in neumes, modal and mensural notations as well as the careful balancing out of the pure intervals of early polyphony since 1150. <\/span><\/p>\n

The ensemble is mainly cast in a tribe of five singers: Winnie Br\u00fcckner – soprano, Philipp Cieslewicz – Altus, Christoph Burmester – tenor and Burkard Wehner – baritone and Tobias Hagge – bass, but the cast is variable from 2 to 10 soloists.
