Exuding “ethereal clarity” (BBC Music), the four women of Anonymous 4 fill Duke Chapel’s gothic alcoves with music from a convent in northern Spain, a crossroads of medieval Europe that turned out a new kind of sacred polyphony.  As soul-shaking vocals resonate off stone walls, “the sound of heaven” fills the Chapel (American Record Guide).
