Old tunes revealed by long-forgotten instruments, and far-back
words of languages reduced to silence long ago, are taking you
into Bielarusan mediaeval burghs and castles, where the Town
Hall Square's vociferance, the court ball's hubbub, pensive
balladry, and elevate odes can be heard.
Excerpts from avital chefs-d'oeuvre of Bielarusan written
records, such as the Lay of Igor's Warfare (in Old Slavonic;
psaltery; 12th c.; anonymous author), the Song of the Wisent
(in Latin; lute; 1522; Mikalaj Husouski), the Statute of the
Grand Duchy of Lithuania (in Old Bielarusan; bagpipe; 1588;
Astafij Valovic, Leu Sapieha), and Pan Tadeusz (in Polish;
hurdy-gurdy; 1834; Adam Mickiewicz), are recorded here
together with the 16th century Bielarusan music - works by
Vojciech Dluharaj and the Krakow Royal Library Holography. A
part of the album consists of mediaeval dances' concert
versions with the grandeval instruments' unwonted
combinations, lute and bagpipe, psaltery and monochord,
jew's-harp and mandolin, bagpipe and psaltery, psaltery and
lute, and many others.
