Tones and Tales from distant Times
Following in the footsteps of a minstrel in medieval Europe.

Once upon a time...in the Middle Ages...in Europe...
The congregation is almost dancing in the aisles of the churches as they forget the world outside and sing the much loved hymns and sequences.
Kings, nobles and clerics show off their status to the world with imposing music played by the foremost musicians.
The people abandon themselves to the sound of the music at every festive event.
Scholars exchange heated views as to whether music and instruments are a devotional part of God´s creation or a direct route to perdition - a swaying bridge between heaven and earth or the dance of the devil. New mystical and impressive stories about the indomitable power of music are carried by travellers and listened to in frightened fascination.

Let yourself be led to this place in time with Poul Høxbro as your guide. Hear fragments of this world on a journey through medieval Europe in the footsteps of the travelling minstrel.
