Compagnia dell'asino che porta la croce

ONNI DILETTO E OGNI BEL PIACERE

The concert offers a sacred and profane repertory of music ranging from Continental Europe to the Mediterranean Countries, belonging to the XIII and XIV century.
This concert is a tribute to the meeting between East and West in the medieval world.
A leading role in this exchange of different sounds and cultures is not only played by the repertory offered, but also by the musical instruments. Voice and instruments coming from the western musical world such as recorders, ciaramella, hurdy-gurdy and medieval harp are combined with the instruments of the Arabian tradition: oud, darabukka, bendir, with the Persian santur and the Scandinavian keyed vielle.

The concert can be performed in places with a good natural resonance (ancient churches, halls, cloisters) or in open spaces with amplification as indicated on the stage-plan (available on request).

The performance (about 70 minutes) is suitable for theatre festivals and music seasons.
It needs a concert hall or a little theatre with good acoustics.
