VIDA is part spoken word,
part musical underscore,
all romance and historical intrigue.

A novel listening experience.

 
 

Introduction

Transport yourself into an imagined world- a firelit banquet hall where a troupe of performers tell a story
Vida: Guillaume de Dalon
This track uses a hurdy-gurdy - find out a bit more about it!
Vida: Ne Raimon de la Tor
He's one of my favorite characters...
Razo: of the Lauzingers
Lauzinger is a term used in the troubadour poetry - it refers to the 'bad guy' who tries to destroy a secret romance
Vida: Assam d'Hallah
The melody here is 'Uskadoura', I thought it befitting my foreign-born character
Tenson V
A final verse of my tenson - this is a medieval poetic device, learn more about it here.

 

"The voices of the characters are well done, as is the musical accompaniment, and the theatrical technique gives the Cd a sense of place and ring of authenticity, not overdone but with just the right sensitivity to both audience and to their craft..." - Renaissance Magazine
