Digital Booklet
The Chansonnier Cordiforme is a songbook, probably copied in 1475 for a roguish but musically cultivated priest named Jean de Montchenu. The beautiful manuscript containing 43 songs is, uniquely, heart-shaped and covered in velvet. This recording from early music group the Ensemble Leones presents both a representative cross section of the manuscript’s repertoire, the majority of which is set to French texts and is among the best known of the age, as well as a portfolio of differing performance options including instruments. In addition to works by such luminaries as Gilles Binchois and Johannes Ockeghem, music of elegant melody, textural refinement and sometimes startling harmonic turns, there are ingenious and anonymous parodies of popular songs.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
