Haunting gregorian-style chants, medieval hymns and dancing carols evoke images of ancient civilizations, desert landscapes, and stone monasteries... This 1993 instrumental release is an exciting and upbeat collection of primarily little-known carols from England, Ireland, Holland, medieval Spain and its Basque country. The folk/ classical arrangements are performed on a wonderful array of instruments, including hammered dulcimer, medieval and Renaissance frame drums, treble and bass viols, Celtic harp, fiddle, psaltery and recorders.
