Tom Healey
Tom Healey is a tenor in Les Six and the Ensemble of the Fourteenth Century, specialist groups formed for mediaeval and renaissance polyphony. He also plays organ on liturgical programmes.
The Fourteenth Century Recording Project brought him into late-mediaeval Italian song, heard on I am Music (MD 3093).
With Les Six he sings tenor — and, on one recording, organ — in reconstructed liturgy: a Florentine mass for the Feast of the Annunciation on A Florentine Annunciation (MD 3094), and Easter music from the Notre Dame tradition on Hæc Dies (MD 3144).
Performing as Les Six
The vocal group Les Six were formed specifically to perform mediaeval and renaissance repertoire in authentic style.
Hæc Dies
Easter at Notre Dame, Paris, c.1220. Music for Easter Sunday Mass as it may have been heard at Notre Dame early in the thirteenth century: chant propers, a complete ordinary cycle in two-part Leoninus-style settings, and three-part organum in the style of Perotin.
