Songs and dances of the 13th - 15th centuries If we conjure up a mental vision of the world of the Middle Ages, it is mainly a world of images. We see cathedrals and castles, richly carved altars, splendid paintings and reliquaries. But these are mute witnesses to times past, and we have diYculty imagining this world in all its vividness. With its first CD, the Ensemble loculatores, founded in Leipzig in 1984, provides an acoustic vision of the vital diversity of mediaeval music from different regions and different centuries. Besides songs by Neidhart von Reuental, Heinrich von Morungen, Walter von der Vogelweide, Oswald von Wolkenstein and others, there are dances from England, Italy and France. The music on this CD lives to a decisive degree from the acoustic charms of the old instruments, the lively improvisations based on intensive study of mediaeval music and culture, but also the special acoustics of the Romanesque monastic church of Thalbuergel.
