Empower Your Compositions with Authentic Medieval Phrases
Embark on a journey through time with the latest addition to the MEDIEVAL PHRASES series: FIDDLE & NYCKELHARPA. With the Fiddle and its rich and expressive tones, coupled with the Nyckelharpa's distinctive resonant strings, we invite you to capture the mood of medieval times. Composers and producers can now use dramatic live performances by outstanding performers or freely play their instruments with varied articulations.
Imagine the bustling markets and vibrant festivals of late medieval Europe, where the rhythm and bounce of the Fiddle & Nyckelharpa set feet tapping and light the hearts of weary travelers. These instruments were the lifeblood of celebration, often heard at markets and taverns above the chatter of merchants and the laughter of children. Their history is woven through countless generations, where they not only provided entertainment but also served as a cultural heartbeat during times of both hardship and prosperity.
MEDIEVAL PHRASES FIDDLE & NYCKELHARPA carry within tales of the past, each string resonating with stories untold. The Fiddle's bow dances across strings to produce a vibrant, rhythmic melody, while the Nyckelharpa's keyed fiddle design adds an otherworldly depth. These sounds, once echoing through medieval tavern halls and open markets, are now crisply captured for the modern composer. With MEDIEVAL PHRASES, breathe new life into your medieval compositions, delivering an authentic experience that is both profound and exhilarating.
IZSÁK FARKAS – THE ARTIST BEHIND THE FIDDLE
Izsák Farkas graduated as a violinist in 2010, and since then has been pushing his music to the limits, especially in the band Infusion Trio with his form-breaking expressions of the electric violin. He regularly performs in theatrical fiddler roles and is a member of several fusion, crossover, jazz and rock bands, a leading individual, a special musician and a successful teacher. Check out his YouTube channel “Follow the Violin” for more.
THOMAS ROTH – THE ARTIST BEHIND THE NYCKELHARPA
One of the founding members of the German folk rock band the Geyers, Thomas Roth is considered by many as the best Nyckelharpa player in the world. Over his 30-year career, he’s developed his own style on this little-known, historical instrument, which has received worldwide attention. He’s currently involved in a stylistic journey across time and place, playing traditional music and original compositions with a new group of musicians.
