Monks & Minstrels
Arranged by Mark Hellem.

MONKS & MINSTRELS contrasts sacred and profance music from the medieval British Isles. MONKS is a chant-like tune from the Orkney Islands north of Scotland and MINSTRELS, based on an English tune, is a lively contrast to the somber MONKS. Audiences and students will be intrigued by these modal tunes and harmonies from a seldom heard era of Western music.
