Hymnodia Sacra is Iceland’s largest manuscript songbook from the 18th century. It was written in 1742 by Gudmundur Högnason, a priest in the Westman Islands, and contains 101 hymn melodies, many of them unique to this source. This CD contains music from this and other Icelandic sources from the 17th and 18th centuries, performed by Icelandic singers accompanied by period instruments. This release follows on from the Choir’s hugely successful Melodia CD.
