Stella Splendens / Maggie-Beth Sand & Serpentyne
Mediaeval, Renaissance and World music with a contemporary twist. Mystic
chants in Latin, Occitain, old French, old English, mixed with ethnic
and medieval instruments, reflective and atmospheric at times, energetic
and up-tempo at others. Finding the lost voices of our ancestors... -
To the mediaeval philosophers, music expressed the rhythms of nature,
the movement of the stars and planets, and our relationship with the
infinite. Compelling, calming and magical – the voice of Maggie Beth Sand
transports our distracted modern ears and minds to the simple pleasures
of an earlier time.

”These
days mediaeval and renaissance music is usually found in the formal
atmosphere of the concert hall. In the hands of the band it once again
becomes a living thing.” (Toby Freeman, Folk London magazine)
All music

percussion) and Mark Powell (hurdy-gurdy, gittern and cittole.)
