Description: SOUNDS OF KNIGHTS AND TAVERNS
Our first plucked phrase library, MEDIEVAL PHRASES LUTE & THEORBO takes you to a world of classical imagination filled with bards and taverns, knights-errant, roving robber barons and bandits.
During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, court bards and taverns constantly needed new ways to inspire their audiences. People looked to the ancients for inspiration, whether in science, medicine or music. The ancient Greeks turned to the divine in their epic recitations, accompanied by the lyre and cithara. It is only natural that during the late Middle Ages, when everything ancient was again in vogue, the lute and the theorbo took center stage.
Our MEDIEVAL LUTE AND THEORBO PHRASES bring back the spirit of medieval castles and the inspiring spirit of the Renaissance, transporting you to village pubs and medieval markets, from Homeric epics to the Medici court. The lute’s light, heavenly plucking is richly accentuated by the theorbo’s deep voice, perfect for early pieces, experimental music or ambient dwellings.
