| Je belgijska skupina, katere ime pomeni tistega, ki poje, in jo je ustanovil njen glasbeni vodja Hendrik Vanden Abeele leta 2000. Osredotočajo se na izvajanje starih cerkvenih polifoničnih del. Pozornost so zbudile z debijem na Alden Biesen leta 2007. Ustanovitev ženske skupine Psallentes je posledica uspešnega delovanja skupine Psallentes, ki jo sestavljajo moški. Osem mladih deklet je predanih interpretiranju večne glasbe Hildegard von Bingen. Projekt pozno-srednjeveškega gregorijanskega korala za ženske glasove v podobi 'De Begijntjesprocessie' (Obhajanje begin) se posveča Gregorijanskemu koralnemu petju begin in je črpal navdih v flamskih in nizozemskih virih poznega srednjega veka. | Belgian chant group Psallentes (‘those who sing’) was founded in 2000 by its musical director Hendrik Vanden Abeele. The group focuses on the performance practice of plainsong in the context of polyphony. Making a striking début at the Alden Biesen ‘Day of Early Music’ in 2007, a female version of Psallentes has arisen from the male original. Eight young female singers devoted themselves to the interpretation of the ethereal music of Hildegard von Bingen. The project ‘late medieval Gregorian chant for young female voices’ made a second appearance with ‘De Begijntjesprocessie’ (Procession of the Beguines), a programme dedicated to the Gregorian Chant of the Beguines, originating from various Flemish and Dutch sources from the late Middle Ages. |

V Belgiji in na Nizozemskem se je v daljni preteklosti zgodil fenomen skupnosti begin, ki so bile podobne ženskim redovnim skupnostim. Prve skupnosti pobožnih žena so ustanavljale v 13. stoletju ter se hitro širile po vsej Nizozemski, severni Franciji, Nemčiji, in Švici. Značilnost beginskih naselbin je bilo osrednje dvorišče, ki so ga obdajale hišice. Pogosto jih je obkrožalo obzidje, ki jih je z enimi ali dvemi vrati ločilo od mesta. V skupnostih je glasba igrala pomembno vlogo. Petje in glasbeno ustvarjanje je bilo pomembno tako v cerkvi ali kapeli, kot v njihovih sprevodih. Ob posebnih priložnostih so prepevale svete pesmi tudi izven svetega okolja. Ravno tako, so v sami edukaciji posvečale glasbeni vzgoji posebno mesto. Izvajani vokalni program izvira od begin iz Amsterdama, Brugesa, Mechelena in Turnhouta in odslikava najpomembnejše teme iz beginskega glasbenega življenja. Poseben pomen je pripisati pesmim, ki so jih izvajale ženske in so bile ženskam, predvsem svetim, tudi namenjene. Nekatere beginske skupnosti so imele za svojo zaščitnico Marijo (Bruselj, Hoogstraten), ravno tako pa so častile tudi ostale svetnice (Marija Magdalena, Uršula, in 11.000 devic). Najbolj priljubljena je bila Katarina Aleksandrijska (zaščitnica begin v Diestu, Hasseltu, Mechelenu...). Od 17. stoletja se je vedno bolj uveljavljala neznana svetnica Begga, ki so jo povzdignile v zaščitnico begin (zaradi podobnosti v imenu) in ji skladale ter pele pesmi v latinščini kot tudi v lokalnih jezikih. Med učenjaki takratnih dni se je vnela obširna polemika ali je Begga ustanoviteljica reda ali ne. Poleg čaščenja svetnikov so begine spoštovale tudi liturgijo Corpus Christie ter imele pomembno vlogo pri razširjanju mističnega čaščenja. V tem kontekstu so begine iz Mechelena pele enostavne triglasne polifonične pesmi. V Brugesu so ustanovile cenjeno skupino v procesiji v čast svete Krvi-o tem govorita dva rokopisa. Z glasbo in petjem so bile svete žene v ospredju razvoja mistike ter nam zapustile in poglavitno prispevale k bogastvu glasbene dediščine. Pieter Mannaerts |
Beguinages are a unique phenomenon in the Low Countries. The first communities of these devout women ('beguines') were founded in the thirteenth century, and spread rapidly over a region that comprised parts of the Netherlands, Northern France, Germany and Switzerland. A typical beguinage from the Southern Netherlands consists of a courtyard surrounded by small houses. It is often encircled by a wall and secluded from the town proper by one or two gates. In the every day life at these communities, music played an important role. Singing and music making was first of all important in church or chapel, and during processions in which the beguines took part. Outside of church, beguines were allowed to perform devout songs on certain occasions. Music was also present in the education of and by beguines. This programme's vocal music originates (as a composition or/and as a source) from beguinages in Amsterdam, Bruges, Mechelen and Turnhout. The choice of music reflects the most important themes in the beguines' musical life. Particularly important were those songs sung by women, but mostly for holy women. A few beguinages had Maria as patron (e.g. Brussels, Hoogstraten), but other female saints were venerated as well (Maria Magdalena, Ursula and the 11.000 virgins). The most popular of these was undoubtably Catherine of Alexandria (patron of the beguinages in Diest, Hasselt, Mechelen...). From the seventeenth century onwards, a relatively unknown saint, Begga, was actively promoted as patron of the beguines (on account of the name-resemblance), for whom songs in Latin and in the vernacular were composed and sung. Amongst the scholars of the time, by the way, a strong polemic occurred on the question whether Begga was really to be considered the foundress of the beguinages. Apart from all the hagiolatry, the beguines also had a special veneration for the liturgy of Corpus Christi. In line with this, a veneration of the Sacrament flourished from the thirteenth century onwards. The beguines played a major role in the spread of this mystic adoration. In this context, beguines from Mechelen sang simple three-voice polyphony. In Bruges, the beguines formed an appreciated group in the big procession of the Holy Blood - two important manuscripts testify to this. With their music and their singing, these devout women were at the forefront of evolutions in mysticism and devotion. In that way, the beguines contributed to the richness of our musical heritage.
