Tempus Fugit caused a sensation at the 2002 Calvi Festival of Polyphonic Music. The group was singled out not only for its unusual vocal technique, but also for its innovative repertoire from the Nebbiu region of Corsica, the result of research by the ethno-musicologist Corinne Bartolini, with harmonizations by Antoine Tramini. This new CD includes prayers for Holy Week, a 16th century Genoese processional song and the Vultum Tuum Mass, a Roman office from the very earliest times with a slight Byzantine touch, conceived as a depiction of the Virgin's face in sound.
