A stunning collection of love songs and instrumental dances from 12th to 15th
century Europe. The album includes passionate Spanish ballads by the Troubadour
Martin Codax about a woman who waits on the sea shore for her lover. There are
mysterious magical songs which describe meetings with the Fairy Queen, songs of
women who are spurned by untrue lovers by the female troubadour Comtessa de Dia,
and an anonymous song of a woman who escapes the cruelties of the cloistered
life for the outside world of earthly pleasures. There are also two courtly love
songs by Jehan de Lescurel a priest from Notre Dame who was later hanged for
debauchery.
The majority of the songs on this album come from monophonic melodic lines, sometimes accompanied by text, which the band have interpreted using a stunning array of early instruments which include gothic harp, hammered dulcimer, recorder, bass viol, bagpipes, hurdy gurdy, percussion, pipe and tabor with the beautiful voices of leading early music singers Jennie Cassidy and Sophia Brumfitt. The album concludes with 'Galdrbok' a Norse word meaning 'book of sung spells' which is an original compostition by director and bagpipe player Katy Marchant and hurdy-gurdy player Steve Tyler - so linking the medieval past with our lives in the modern age.

Soothing heart and spirit. Experience a lush soundscape of of musical pieces
selected from various world traditions for their ability to lift stress and
banish anxiety. The music is specially chosen by the musicians of Healing Muses
for their healing properties, an organization whose mission is to bring healing
music to hospitals, clinics, hospices, convalescent homes, retreat centers and
homebound individuals. This album is suitable for promoting relaxation and reducing
anxiety during stressful hospital stays and medical/dental procedures (patients
and staff both benefit), and providing calming music in the midst of life's
daily challenges. Performed on harp, recorder and flute, the music is drawn from
various world traditions including medieval and Renaissance Europe, Celtic and
American folk tunes and spirituals.

Known for her strong, clear, powerful playing of the vielle (medieval violin, aka a "fiddle") Shira Kammen offers up a particularly vibrant collection of her work with this release of medieval songs from France, Italy, and Brittany. The album is named after the bitingly cold winter wind that flows from the Alps down to the Mediterranean coast, but the performances are all bright, joyous, and warm.
