Carmina Burana Today

New CD, released end of 2021, beginning of 2022. "Candens Lilium" with singer Sabine Lutzenberger, fiddler Albrecht Maurer, drummer and singer Philipp Lamprecht and me invited the Alta Capella "Les Haulz et les Bas" with Gesine Bänfer, Hanna Geisel and Ian Harrison to create this fascinating new approach to the medieval Carmina Burana together. The repertoire is - except for a Bamberg Hoquetus - all from the original manuscript in the Munich Staatsbibliothek. The versions are based on Norbert Rodenkirchen´s own transcriptions and reconstructions. To order please just write to "Contact", or purchase via bandcamp! The CD will be available in shops or here, also streamable on Spotify etc.. The physical CD comes as a nicely designed Digipack - using pictures of some old Etruscian stones, photographed by our friend, the jazzdrummer Christoph Hillmann - with some additional info inside. Translations of the song lyrics in German are presented here as an extra PDF plus the liner notes and the sources in German as well. For English you also find just the liner notes here as a separate PDF.  The live program can also be booked here : a very nice festival format with 6 musicians.

Medieval Echoes

Contemplative flute music:

medieval, modern, archaic!

 

I premiered this meditative program live at Early Music Vancouver a few years ago and developed it further for a CD release by composing 5 pieces called "labyrinths of sound". At a few spots I additionally inserted some modern sound excursions to counterpart the archaic medieval tunes in double versicles which follow the line of early instrumental improvisation forms from the sequela of the 11th century to the estampie and ductia of the 13th century. Additionally Middle Eastern repercussions with very rare tunes show the fluidity of modal melodic interchange around the Mediterranean areas. A program very close to my heart. The physical CD comes with a fantastic liner notes text by Brooklyn based music philosopher and musician David Grubbs.
