While the oldest song most of us know about or can sing is about 80 years old, The Orlando Consort specializes in singing music that is 700 years old.

So what kind of music did they have 700 years ago?

According to a news release, "Lush harmonies that chronicle the three-part human appetite for eating, drinking and making love."

Formed in 1988 by the Early Music Centre of Great Britain, the four-member male group has a repertoire from the years 1050 to 1500.

The four singers are Angus Smith, tenor; Mark Dobell, tenor; Donald Greig, baritone and Robert Harre-Jones, countertenor -- each individually accomplished and established solo artists.

The Orlando Consort has set a new standard of performance in unearthing music that has yet to be performed and introduced to the world.

In tonight's program, entitled Food, Wine, and Song, audience members are in for a concert unlike any other.

"We're presenting a program of renaissance and medieval music, which is an area of music that's largely undiscovered," group member Angus Smith said.

"The music is from France, England, Spain, Germany, and Burgundy, and all songs are about music, food and wine," he said.

Smith also said that the performance is the perfect addition to one's Valentine's Day weekend.

"The songs reflect the subject of courtly love in medieval times," Smith said. "It's very appropriate for Valentine's Day."

The music featured is in different languages, but audience members will have the translations in their programs, said Laura Sullivan, Center for the Performing Arts spokeswoman.

"The words are very gaudy, sexual in nature, with food as a reference of lovemaking," she said.

Sullivan said audience members will get recipes in their programs, or by purchasing one of The Orlando Consort's CDs.
