Melodies from preserved regional songbooks (Kodexes) are unearthed in the contemporary through the voices of three choirs in the varying spheres of academia, religion, and the commonplace. While one choir is composed of professionals commissioned a polyphonic piece to execute, another exists as a collective of amateur singers who meet in the evenings to sing despite their full-time jobs. In the meantime, a third choir exists in the sphere where the tradition was born- that of Religion- with their voices confined within the church. As the art form is exposed, the spirituality of music permeates these seemingly distinguished worlds, making evident paradoxical intersections through the poetics of their movements and melodies.
