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.
