Review title: Excellent Dufay, not all 'songs'. Buy It.
Product review: 'Chansons' by Guillaume Dufay, performed by the European early music group, Ensemble Unicorn, is a fine sample of early non-liturgical music. One of the most revealing things about it is how much the pieces sound liturgical to the amateur ear. But that should not be too big a surprise, as popular music has often been built on spiritual origins (witness the influences of modern gospel on soul music).As other reviewers noted, contrary to the sense of the title, only half of these pieces are actually songs, in the modern sense of the French art song or Chanson. But that doesn't make them any less enjoyable. I find the performances comparable to my benchmark for similar early music performances, the Clemencic Consort.A very nice, inexpensive sampling of great early music.
