About
The Holy Grail has occupied a central place in Western life. It was believed by many to have been used by Christ at the Last Supper, and in the Middle Ages writers saw the Grail as a dish, or a chalice, or a precious stone. Songs and instrumental music celebrated its mystical power and were composed by some of the greatest troubadours, mystics and singer-poets of the age: Chrétien de Troyes, Walther von der Vogelweide, Wolfram von Eschenbach, and Hildegard of Bingen. This disc uniquely focuses on the common threads between Grail literature and music.

I like the variety of sounds which Capilla Antigua de Chinchilla use...The instruments include a psaltery, an Anglo-Saxon lyre, a Darbuke or darabukka - a simple hand drum...Of especial interest is Palästinalied that reminds us of the crusaders’ discovery of the Holy Land in the awful wars in the 13th century and of the beauty they found there.
