Ensemble VocaMe - Hadewijch - Grote Minne: Spirituality of Love CD [PRE-ORDER]

This is a preorder item with an estimated shipping date of June 26th, 2026

With their new release, the VocaMe ensemble explores a unique chapter in medieval cultural history: the previously unrecorded works of the 13th-century Beguine mystic Hadewijch of Brabant. In close collaboration with Belgian scholars, they have created a programme that impressively combines historical research with artistic imagination.
The program brings together 14 pieces that give sonic form to Hadewijch’s poetic universe. Titles such as Om grote minne, Altoes mach men van minnen singhen, and Men mach den nuwen tijt reflect the central themes of her writing: the all-encompassing force of Minne (love), the renewal of time, and the human quest for inner understanding. The recurring idea of the “new time” (nuwen tijt) resonates not only with the changing seasons, but also with a profound sense of spiritual renewal.
