Cd: magical poet - in tavern... mori



Dying in the tavern may well have been the wish of many a travelling minstrel, but the gods had first placed the performance in a place that for centuries was one of the most important social meeting places for country and city dwellers. Here people drank and ate, laughed, argued and played, sang and danced.



The poet group Magica intervenes in this tension: Holger and Friederike Funke celebrate the appropriate musical interpretation with four guest musicians:

In the smoky twilight of torchlight, musicians sing about life together with girls of light, traveling scholars, grumpy mercenaries, sailors, vain revelers, wandering monks and show their art on instruments with pieces from many countries.



The extensive booklet of this very entertaining CD contains all the lyrics.



Magical Poet: the name represents an ensemble that knows how to combine different European musical traditions. Archaic sound fusions with modern sound images, chants and melodies combine to form spaces and images. This special way of synthesizing music from different countries gives it its own unmistakable style and tone through skilful original compositions.



Poeta Magica uses a very wide range of instruments to create its special sounds: in addition to oriental percussion, bagpipes from all over Europe, the hurdy-gurdy, the nyckelharpa, the shawm and the Pomeranian, and equally rare and almost forgotten instruments are used: such as the seljefloit, the langleik, the moraharpa and contrabassharpa, the prilla horn, etc.
