+ Faronel

‘Perform music from the late Medieval and Renaissance periods on a variety of period instruments, including recorder, crumhorn, cornamuse, rackett, kortholt, curtal, shawm, rebec, bagpipes, medieval fiddle, harp, hurdy gurdy, symphony, organ, harpsichord and percussion. We also include vocal music in our programmes, both a capella and with instruments. Our repertoire includes works ranging from the 11th century through to consort music of the early 1600s. We edit much of the music ourselves, often consulting the original sources, and we pay particular attention to performance practice in order to make sure that we are getting as close as is reasonably possible (given the many uncertainties!) to the original instrumentation and character of the music.’
