Canty is a Scottish early music vocal group well noted for the beautiful sound of its vocal blend and the extraordinary and unique literature, much of it from sources native to the British Isles, that it has managed to revive. In Divine Art's Apostle of Ireland, Canty pulls together a small number of Irish and Scottish manuscript sources, ranging from the fourteenth to early fifteenth centuries, though in some cases containing older material, to raise a relatively complete medieval Office for St. Patrick. The first thing that is striking about this chant, in most instances unique to the United Kingdom while incorporating a small number of melodies from continental Europe, is that there is a strong correspondence between much of it and Irish traditional music in terms of certain melodic gestures and harmonic preferences. Canty's singing is so transparent and tonally rich that boredom never rears its ugly head; nevertheless, the group wisely incorporates some sparse accompaniment provided by harper William Taylor playing a wire-strung Clarsach. Even though the source material is diverse, the disc maintains a great sense of unity and feels all of a piece for its 78 minutes, even though it is made up of 37 different tracks. While this elegant and devotional music may not be the proper accompaniment to tossing back a pint on St. Patrick's Day, it is terrific in just about every other sense and is easily recommendable. © Uncle Dave Lewis , Rovi
