Mysticism of heathen sacramentals, voices of chateaux, and the
vibrant power of mediaeval melismata, interlaced with the
energy, terrene malice, and great heartedness of the
Belarusans" bellicose primogenitors. Pure sonal music,
performed by precise copies of ancient Belarusan instruments
(except for guitar and flute), is mirroring virtuosities of
the gentle folks and knighthood in Belarus which had keen in
war with the Russian princelings-whipcrackers far back in the
Middle Ages. Songs' texts are eidetic words, taken from the
Belarusan folklore and slightly changed. The music "roughness"
and old instruments" timbre hues have been preserved. The
First part of the CD is a pilgrimage to the early Middle Ages
where one could hear evocative tunes or bagpipe, board zither,
hornpipe, birchbark pipe, reed pipe, jew's-harp, drum,
timbrel, etc. Such a grandeval instrument as monochord has
been replaced here by hurdy-gurdy which sounds are almost the
same. The other part of the album dedicated to the late Middle
Ages where guitar and flute are added.
