Various Artists - Die Weisheit Des Alters - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The InchArs moriendiInch the Inchart of dyingInch - is a term that appears again and again in the Middle Ages. Especially Oswald von Wolkenstein, but also other minnesingers, deal with the dwindling strength and the physical decay at the end of life. And most of all, the poets are always concerned with their personal fear of the afterlife. Heinz Schwamm and Rainer Herpichböhm, who have formed the core of the ensemble für frühe musik augsburg for more than 40 years, are also close to this topic. They combine the Inchage complaintsInch of the minnesingers with youthful fresh dances and thus this InchMemento moriInch becomes a joyful and pleasurable confession.
