about Capella Burgundiae:

Ensemble for Music of the Middle Ages and Early Renaissance

In this early part of the 21st century, the world of symbols is gradually regaining a place in human consciousness and music of the Middle Ages is achieving new popularity. The entire culture of the Middle Ages is rooted in symbolism. This is the key to the arts of that era in all its richness, because the sources available today provide us only with hints of the full picture. Early musical notation of that period merely suggests melody and rhythm, though it became more definite over time. This vagueness in the notation, however, offers many possibilities of interpretation. Capella Burgundiae has settled on experimental and improvisational interpretation. Based on the study of medieval musicianship of the Middle Ages and reaching for an empathetic understanding of the music, Capella Burgundiae’s approach to medieval sounds takes the symbolic and intellectual context into consideration. It does so through the use of a wide range of period instruments and arrives at a transparent, lively sound, which conveys to the listener the atmosphere of those ancient times.
