In Medieval Europe the nobility, the church, cities, and people of high social standing sought to establish an image of stability, power, magnificence, and splendour. Music was indispensible to this image, and the “loud” instruments inherited from the Saracen ceremonial band proved to be an ideal means of projecting this image. Capable of furnishing music for functions of state, church, and court it was also to become the preferred ensemble for dance music. LES HAULZ ET LES BAS have done a lot of research about long trumpets that are still in use in traditional music in various countries around the world. With this program, they bring back to life the ceremonial elegance and festive frenzy of this extraordinarily popular ensemble.
