This program is dedicated to the new melodic finesse which appeared in the monophonic repertiore of the so-called Ars Nova. Guillaume de Machaut seems to me to be the ideal central point for such a program. Norbert Rodenkirchen chooses to interpret medieval music in its always strong and undeniable connection to the Gregorian melos.

Norbert Rodenkirchen is the flute player of the international acclaimed ensembles Sequentia, Dialogos and Per-sonat. Additionally he works extensively with the modern duo Albrecht Maurer/Norbert Rodenkirchen who specializes on new sounds for archaic instruments.
