«Mnemosyne» is the double album by Jan Garbarek and The Hilliard Ensemble, released in 1999 by ECM Records on CD.
The album brings together the vocal quartet and the saxophonist in a repertoire that crosses medieval and sacred music with folk and improvisation: it ranges from the Delphic Paean to Veljo Tormis's Estonian Lullaby, and includes works by Tallis, Dufay and Hildegard of Bingen. Garbarek's saxophone dialogues with the voices in pieces such as Quechua Song and Delphic Paean.
Released within the ECM New Series (ECM 1700/01), this double album was recorded in April 1998 at Propstei St. Gerold and produced by Manfred Eicher.
Aimed at those who enjoy contemporary jazz, early music and the intersections between choral singing and improvised saxophone.
