Released Sounds Trio: Melodies from the Kral violin playbook
The Kral violin playbook from the end of the 18th century is the oldest song manuscript of Sorbian folk music. This CD with selected melodies is intended to further develop and popularise this unique source. The Polish musician, composer and ethnomusicologist Maciej Rychły has compiled 13 titles from the song manuscript. Using special instruments such as traditional shepherd’s flutes, the psaltery, the Stauffer guitar, the mandola, the chordal zither and the small Sorbian bagpipe Měchawka – Dreibrümmchen, an unmistakable interpretation of traditional Sorbian folk music is created.
