Peter Pannke - Morungen - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Classical

In the center of this musical and spiritual journey stands the historical minnesinger Heinrich von Morungen, who becomes the symbol of a stream of poets and musicians up to the present who have sought and found the sources of their inspiration in the East, beyond Europe's borders. The melodies of his songs are lost, but his texts and an image have been passed down in the Manesse Codex. A chronicle from the St. Thomas Monastery in Leipzig, where Morungen died in 1222, reports that he made a trip to India. Pursuing an idea proposed by Peter Pannke, musicians from the East and from Europe got together to transform Morungen's texts into the musical traditions of the lands of his visionary journey.
