Program

To be announced

The medieval ensemble Cançonièr has been performing this program to capacity audiences, as well as releasing it as their second CD. Centered on the infamous rule of Vlad the Impaler in what is now Southern Romania, it brings in Balkan folk-songs, Turkish music, music of the Byzantine court and church, Italian and French dances, German songs, and the Lamentation for the Fall of Constantinople by Guillaume Du Fay. Cançonièr's earlier CD was a fresh but historically informed look at Western European medieval music, and its members are also well regarded in World Music circles.



"The central block of Hungarian/Transylvanian/Moldavian/Bulgarian music is absolutely gorgeous...
as a speculation on the possible sound world of someone in Vlad's time, it's a delight."
