Ensemble: Ioculatores Album: frofro - Christmas-music in the 10th – 15th centuries Video: Omelie Latine, Département de Manuscrits Italien (XIVth cent.) • The ensemble Ioculatores joins forces with the pure voices of girls choir Schola Cantorum Leipzig to introduce the listener to the rich world of medieval Christmas music. Ranging from instrumental pieces featuring organ, harp, lute, fiddle and shawm to strictly vocal songs, this recording produced at the Romanesque basilica in Wechselburg gives an impression of the ideas people have always had of heavenly jubilation.
