ALBUM

Dating back to the 14th century, the folkloric harp was used in poetry and song for its beautiful warmth of tone and graceful accompaniment abilities. Towards the end of the century, the harp's popularity began to wane with the introduction of the lute. In the eye's of Chaucer, the harp remained superior--the most aristocratic of solo instruments, particularly when used with poetry.

Music from THE CHAUCER SONGBOOK is an ancient portrait of an art form brought to life by medieval scholar Carol Wood. Lighting up the strange and often dark notions of an era misunderstood, Wood impressively brings together musicians who have paid meticulous attention in presenting these early songs. Including a mixture of sacred and secular music, the interpretations are realistic, boasting clear arrangements of Celtic and English melodies. Delicate performances by vocalists Ross Allured, Laurie Robertson, and Tina Wing are lyrical against a backdrop of flutes, percussion and keyboards. Connoisseurs of medieval music will delight in these new renditions of tunes that keep with the aspects of Chaucer's works.
