The tale of “The Woman in the Middle Ages” is expressed musically by the harp of Anima Keltia

Feb. 19, 2016 - PRLog -- Vita Dominae (Medieval and Renaissance Music) is a music journey about the life and role of women in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. It starts with the expectation of her birth marked by prayers to the Lord and the first lullabies sung at her crib (“Be Thou My Vision”, “Coventry Carol”).  As she gets older, she is taught good examples of virtue by the clergy and her mother (Cantiga 100 a Santa Maria) and examples of ludicrous behaviours (“Lamento di Tristano”). As a teenager, she will have to face her first loves (“Scarborough Fair”, “Unter der Linden”, “La Rose Enflorece”) and must be protected from the dangers of the beauty of her body that bewitches and seduces (“Complainte de la Blanche Biche”) whoever she comes across. As an adult, she will be aware of the roles of her social status and duties (“Chanson de table”, “l’Epouse du Croisé”).

This musical journey will also allow you listen to dances and hymns performed at her wedding (“Corranto”, “Give Me Your Hand”). Last but not least Vita Dominae will accompany you into the Hortus Conclusus with the songs and ballads of the courtly love (“Douce Dame Jolie”, “Green Sleeves”).

Vita Dominae includes 14 tracks from the Medieval and Renaissance period, many of which are part of the Celtic tradition. This Album will make awaken emotions, moments of celebration, loves and deeds of courtiers, princesses and kings of boundless lands surrounded by mystical forests, castles and legends of old.

Mélanie Bruniaux on the Celtic harp is accompanied by Andreè Bottiglioni (Bodhram and percussions), Amélie Grunenberger (Flutes), Lucia de Carlo (Vocals) and Eleonora Galassi (Cello).
