About
With Gloriosus Franciscus, Anonima Frottolisti presents a cross-section of music relevant to the Franciscan ideal from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries The sequence of selected pieces reveals both the learned side of this music and its closeness to 'folk' traditions during the period straddling the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as a symbolic homage to the city where Anonima Frottolisti was born (Assisi).
