Saint Vitus Ensemble

The Saint Vitus Ensemble was an influential medieval group of musicians active in the late 13th and early 14th centuries, associated with the cathedral of Saint Vitus in Prague. They performed complex polyphonic music, contributing to the development of early medieval musical styles. Their work reflects the rich tradition of sacred music during that time, emphasizing harmony and the integration of voices to enhance religious worship. Though not much of their original repertoire survives, their role highlights the importance of music in medieval European ecclesiastical settings and its evolution towards more sophisticated forms.
