Micrologus is a distinguished ensemble dedicated to the performance and interpretation of medieval music, particularly focusing on the repertoires from the 12th to the 14th centuries. Founded in 1984 by Patrizia Bovi, Goffredo Degli Esposti, and Adolfo Broegg, the group has been lauded for their rigorous approach to historical research, combined with a vibrant and expressive style of performance that brings ancient music to life for modern audiences. Their passion for the authenticity of sound is complemented by their use of period instruments, some of which are reconstructed based on historical models.
Micrologus has made significant contributions to the rediscovery and dissemination of early music, evident through their extensive discography. Their recordings often explore specific historical themes or geographical ties to musical traditions, as seen in albums like "Aragón en Nápoles" and "Napoli aragonese," which delve into the cross-cultural influences between Aragon and Naples. "Cantico della terra" and "Madre de Deus, Cantigas de Santa Maria" showcase their mastery in interpreting religious and devotional songs, while "O Yesu Dolce: Laudi italiane del quattrocento" and "D'amor cantando" highlight secular and courtly love songs of Italy. With "Landini e la musica Fiorentina," they pay homage to the profound work of Francesco Landini and the rich musical culture of Florence during the Middle Ages. Acclaimed both for their scholarly insight and their engaging performances, Micrologus continues to captivate audiences with the timeless beauty of early music.
