Musicians

The Resume

    (1993- )
    A Capella quartet specializing in medieval music
    All female with an international membership
    Albums include 'An English Ladymass,' 'Gloryland,' 'Voices of Light,' 'Darkness into Light,' and 'Star of the East'
    Membership as of 2010 consists of; Marsha Genevsky, Susan Hellauer, Ruth Cunningham, and Jacqueline Horner
    Named after an unknown medieval English musical historian who wrote about composers Leonin and Perotin

Why they might be annoying:

    They keep retiring and then getting back together for 'special projects.'
    They all own cats.
    When asked if they ever do anything besides medieval music they answered, 'Yes, Renaissance.'
    Their concerts are usually short, about an hour and a half long, utilize a single theme, and except for in America, have no applause breaks.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They have taken music forgotten for hundreds of years and brought it back to life.
    Although they are most known for performing Gregorian Chant, they also perform other sacred music, including polyphony.
    They are all college graduates with degrees in different fields of music.
    They work on a consensus basis utilizing each other's talents and interests to produce the best possible results.
    They don't just sing, but do the research, translations, and even some of the technical aspects of recording.
    The DVD release of 1928's 'The Passion of Joan of Arc' used the 'Voices of Light' CD as background music to incredible effect.
    They don't pretend their music is exactly like it was originally performed as things like tempo, dynamics, or expression was not usually notated on medieval music.
