How to understand medieval music if centuries separate it from the modern listener?
With the knowledge of a scholar and the passion of a performer and popularizer, Danil Ryabchikov has prepared a guide to the mysterious world of religious hymns, church dances, works of troubadours and minnesingers. You will be immersed in the origins of Christian singing, introduced to the key figures of medieval music - from the mystical Hildegard of Bingen, the innovators Perotin and Leonin and the secular songs of Carmina Burana to the graceful and inventive Guillaume de Machaut - and a variety of musical genres. Medieval music is not an artifact - it continues to be a consolation for the listener, as its modern famous performers will tell you.
