About Me |
|
We are three musicians from four countries (England, Germany, Iceland & Scotland) with very differant musical backgrounds who met through a strange twist of fate to play what we simply call Renaissance Musicke. We use authentic instruments and techniques of the 16th century, because they work so damn well for this music, so if it works – why mess with it? Well to be honest in one respect we do “mess with it” quite a bit, just as the musicians did back then. Improvisation is an important part of our performances and it makes every concert an adventure, for both us and the audience.

makes it all so thoroughly convincing, is not just the masterfully
played instruments, but the pure and crystal clear voice of Hannah

: : "....Mark
Wheeler and Dominik Schneider weave their way around the wonderfully
clear soprano voice of Hannah Morrison using authentic copies of
historical instruments and thereby bring to life this era in such a
alluring manner, that each of the eleven tracks brings delightful
images to enchant the minds-eye of the listener." : : "Spirited
and lively performances, virtuosic instrumental playing, and
imaginative programming from an ensemble with a deep love and knowledge
of the renaissance and 17th century English repertoire." : : "..they
played with fiery virtuosity and musicality.": "....a
polished and spirited live performance." : "Pantagruel
received frenzied applause from the audience that they had guided
skilfully and without inhibition through the renaissance music of the
Elizabethan Age" :

was over 60 minutes of overwhelming music, lively, full of humour and
entertaining." : : ": It
was a spectacle of the most sophisticated kind: : " : : : adly
there is not enough room to describe all the musical nuances that made
this evening a feast for both eye and ear. " .. : "It was a
delightful hour of music in which the musicians' sheer love of the
repertoire, showmanship, technique and scholarship shone forth in equal
measure." : : "..it was the
trio's infectious spontaneity that brought this archaic world
to light. ": :
"Music
that despite its fair share of virtuosity sounded balanced and
natural due to the performer's expertise. ….The audience
were ravished and their applause was rewarded by three entertaining
encores": Record Label: Totentanz Records (Soulfood) Type of Label: Indie |
