They sing of love in polyphonic textures to
create the purest of harmonies. The Indonesian madrigal singers rely on their
voices alone to breathe life into the poetry. In Macao they share this intimacy,
intoning the sounds of the Renaissance with the music of Monteverdi, one of
history's greatest madrigalists. Later they affirm the longevity of this ancient
tradition with several pieces by contemporary composers such as David Azurza (“Loriak
Udan”) from Europe and Asians Budi Susanto Yohannes (“Tetapi Aku”) and Woo Hyo
Won (“Gloria I”).
