Gabriels Message - Festive Music From Medieval England by Mediva Mediva : Gabriels Message - Festive Music From Medieval England.
Medieval music made enticingly modern.


Gabriel's Message is a celebration of Advent, gathering together pieces from 13th-15th Century English manuscripts which depict the Angel Gabriel's visit to the Virgin Mary.
