The Amyas Ensemble with St Cuthbert's Church Choir
Emily Baines: recorders, bagpipes, voice
Arngeir Hauksson: gitterns, lute, percussion, symphonie
Amyas describe themselves as a period instrument group specialising in exuberant performances of historical repertoire -www.amyasensemble.com
Their evocative programme Meditatio invites listeners into a world of devotion, landscape and quiet wonder, inspired by the life of St Cuthbert of Lindisfarne. At its heart are chants dedicated to the saint that have not been heard in nearly 1,000 years – music in essence shaped by prayer, solitude, and the ebb and flow of the North Sea. Instrumental and vocal works from later in the Medieval Age reveal how meditative sound continued to unfold across centuries and continents.
