Striking, rarefied and noble sonorities of instruments from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance allow Into the Winds to take the listener back in time, across bridges and through hidden passageways…. Founded in 2017, the ensemble consists primarily of five young multi-instrumentalists with a mission to introduce both sacred and secular music from the late Middle Ages to the early Renaissance to new audiences, via original programming and innovative concerts.
Into the Winds and their hautboys, sackbuts, trumpets, recorders, and various percussion instruments resound not only within famed concert halls but equally on the stages of current and contemporary programming, in the winding alleyways of medieval villages, the vestiges of ancient battlegrounds of old, and even upon the ramparts of fortified castles. While balancing their instrumental mastery with the energy and groove of a big band, the musicians are committed to sharing the joy of their music-making with others.
C'est très intéressant, et permet de (re)découvrir des instruments rares. A préciser cependant que le groupe ne présente que des instruments à vent (bois et cuivres), accompagnés de quelques percussions. Rien n'est dit des autres types d'instruments en usage à cette époque.
The fascinating slide trumpet, first attempt at giving the instrument chromatic capabilities, direct antecessor to the trombone! It's quite a rare presence, glad you have given us the possibility of listening to it.
J'aiem découvrir des instruments anciens, je ne connaissais pas ceux là, c'est vraiment intéressant. Gros coup de coeur pour l'ambiance de la video, j'adore ce genre de cadre, nature, belle demeure, musique classique....
