Musica Ficta is a versatile ensemble known for its meticulous interpretations of Renaissance and Baroque vocal music. Based in Denmark, the group has carved out a niche for itself in the realm of early music, bringing ancient melodies and compositions back to life with authenticity and scholarly finesse. Founded by Bo Holten, who remains an influential figure in the choir's direction, Musica Ficta has a passion for unearthing lesser-known works and presenting them alongside the canonical masterpieces of early European music.

Musica Ficta's discography displays a deep engagement with the cultural and historical context of the works they perform. Their recent releases such as "Reforming Hymns" and "Sange fra grænselandet" illustrate their commitment to exploring the musical heritage of Denmark and beyond. Delving into the works of composers like Pedersøn and Lassus, their album "Pedersøn: Madrigals" and the emotionally charged performance of "Lassus: St. Matthew Passion" showcase their ability to interpret complex polyphonies with clarity and warmth. Alongside their focus on historical pieces, Musica Ficta also engages with contemporary music, as seen in their albums "Nye danske sange" and "Den danske sangskat, Vol. 7 - Folkesange," where they foster a living tradition of Danish music.
