I'm a bit busy this week with a visit from the other side of Australia from my lovely littlest sister, so I won't write much. This album speaks for itself anyway.
I love medieval fusion music (as well as the really-truly medieval style music.) This album is a firm favorite and on all my shuffle lists.
This is the song that got me onto this album, a share on Facebook from sweet Gary Colcombe of Celtic Myth Podshow. It's a reworking of a song from the oldest extant music manuscript, Stella Splendens, and that is also the name of the album.
This is a traditional Christmas carol.
Kalenda Maya. So cheerful and uplifting, and some lovely hurdy gurdy action at the start. :)
My favorite of all is the bouncy tune Ave Mater Dou Way Robin, but I can't find that on youtube. If you like the other songs, buy the album and then you can hear it. :)
Loved that 1st one. Very beautiful. The images where pretty awesome too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gav! I have a couple of versions of Stella Splendens but I do love this one best.
