Psallentes

Psallentes

Psallentes ("those who sing") is a Gregorian Chant ensemble founded in 2000 and based in Leuven, Belgium.

Members

Psallentes consists of singers Conor Biggs, Lieven Deroo, Pieter Coene, Paul Schils and Philippe Souvagie and is directed by Hendrik Vanden Abeele.

Psallentes has a life-long association with early music ensembles Capilla Flamenca and Millenarium, with whom they made several recordings.

Repertoire

Psallentes focuses on Late Medieval and Renaissance plainsong and related polyphony. From careful investigation and extensive use of original manuscripts [On 1 February 2008 the Flemish Community acquired the important Tsgrooten Antiphonary [http://www.antifonarium-tsgrooten.be] . Psallentes performed several extracts from this Antiphonary at the press conference announcing the acquisition.] , Psallentes gather evidence on how this music was performed. Hendrik Vanden Abeele's research at the University of Leiden focuses on the thorny and controversial problem of rhythm, memory as the major requisite for a good singer of chant, and the voice as a research tool.cite journal |last=Abeele |first=Hendrik Vanden |year=2007 |month=February |title=Researching and Developing Performance Practice in Late Medieval Chant Researching and Developing Performance Practice in Late Medieval Chant |journal=Dutch Journal of Music Theory, Special Issue Practice-as-Research |pages=91–99 |url=http://dpc.uba.uva.nl/cgi/t/text/get-pdf?c=djmt;idno=1201art08 |accessdate=2008-06-11 |format=PDF] . Interactions between research and performance result in ‘authentic’ as well as more present-day interpretations of plainsong.
