Medieval music specialists Gaïta present music from France in the High Middle Ages, interwoven with stories from the Arthurian romances, some familiar, some less so.
Medieval romances describe a world of chivalrous knights, great deeds and great loves. The most famous tales – such as that of Lancelot & Guinevere, or Tristan & Iseult – are associated with the legendary court of King Arthur. The same names and themes recur in the songs of the trouveres and troubadours. This music is performed in a delightful mix of song, narration and instrumental music on medieval instruments.
