Hert so Hy: Songs of Longing from Medieval Europe - Katherine Christie Evans

Ensemble: Katherine Christie Evans Album: Hert so Hy: Songs of Longing from Medieval Europe Video: women playing gitterns from various manuscripts from XII to XIV centuries • “1 woman, 1 gittern 1 microphone! A collection of medieval European love songs, arranged for gittern and voice, performed and recorded by Katherine Christie Evans“ Here is the brief introduction that Katherine Christie Evans gives of her album “Hert so Hy: Songs of Longing from Medieval Europe“ on her Bandcamp, but a few more words on this splendid work must necessarily be added. As those who follow the channel already know, I love minimal arrangements and shun excessive orchestrations when performing a medieval repertoire and this album has definitely made its way into my heart: it is proof that a voice and a musical instrument are really enough (in addition to the talent, obviously) to be able to excite more than an entire orchestra would.
