And now for something completely different..... Be taken back
in time on Bank holiday Monday to Medieval times, where much singing, dancing,
drinking and general merriment will occur...this will be a LOT of
fun!!
TWILIGHT FOLK
PRESENTS…. LES DERNIERS TROUVERES.
WITH SUPPORT FROM PRINCES IN THE TOWER
(CIRCULUS)
"Singing the songs of Bards, Troubadours,
Trouvères, Minnesänger...echoing the words of medieval poets and philosophers,
ever faithful to the virtuous and perfect love of the Fidèles d’Amour...Keeping
alive the grand tradition...Sing to us as we sing to you ! May this enchant and
delight you !
We sing songs of the middle age in contemporary
French language with authentic medieval melodies or melodies composed in the
medieval idiom in order to deliver the listener the richness, strength and a
vivid simplicity of the time.Audiences will discover with joy medieval thought
and imagery.We are inspired ourselves by the diversity, the immense richness
bequeathed to us by medieval society.... A heritage that was drawn in ink on
parchment, carved in stone, sculpted in the wood, smelted in glass and woven in
linen.We follow in the footsteps of the troubadours, Fidèles d’Amour, Ghazals
singer, we sing the fin’Amor, the « perfect love », the « love from afar »,
pilgrimages, mystical intoxication and the wine, the tavern and the harmony
around the table, the « Vouivre » (name of our dragon) and our rugged country,
rumours, the Holy Grail quest and Eldorado quest, and Nature's revival in
spring, the legend of Merlin and of the forest of Broceliande, the nostalgia for
the lost Paradise, the childlike state of wonder, the ladies of olden times,
witches, oriental evocations, a tribute to those persecuted by the inquisition,
the mirrored world...Our repertoire refers to troubadours, trouveres, clerc
Goliard, beguine, soufi, religious masters, … historical events, fables, and
legends from the oral tradition.Those important themes, precious for the
medieval society, are realised both as an echo to the time that inspired them
and with relevance to our contemporary time.The majority of our songs are
written by two lyricists, Florian Lacour and Roland Deniaud. We also interpret
many songs of Europe in their original
language"

With
support from PRINCES IN THE TOWER - a three piece Medieval and
Renaissance costumed entertainment group ideal for banquets,dances and outdoor
events. We own a vast collection of authentic instruments which are loud enough
not to require amplification….. We have a large repertoire of toe tapping
tunes and put our heart and soul into every performance. …..We are currently
engaged as musical pirates aboard a replica of Sir Francis Drake's ship "The
Golden Hinde" moored near London Bridge. As well as countless medieval
banquets and weddings, our more prestigious engagements have included Basel Art
Fair in Miami, an art show in Milan, Ringo Starr's garden party and Ludlow
Medieval Festival….All three Princes are also members of the Medieval rock band
CIRCULUS.
