The path that all interested listeners are about to follow leads to the deep and as yet not fully explored woodlands of the instrumental music of the latter half of the fifteenth century in or around southern Germany. It will zig-zag from one repertoire to another, from one manuscript to another, and of course from one 'soundscape' to another by presenting different combinations of instruments, in dialogue or simply allowing some of them stand alone to speak for themselves so that at the end of their sonic journey, listeners can fully enjoy a panoramic view of this rich and fascinating tradition.

Peaceful music from the age of Rome. The Romans loved music and used it both in peace and at war. This unique programme recreates the sounds that might have been heard in a Roman villa in fifth or sixth-century Europe, using a wide variety of instruments which were known at the time. A peaceful album, purely instrumental.
