They Say...
Ancient Noels showcases the hammered dulcimer virtuosity of Maggie Sansone and the medieval and Celtic magic of Ensemble Galilei. In addition to Maggie's dulcet tones, The Ensemble contributes the lively sounds of recorders, viols, Renaissance frame drums, fiddle and Celtic harp. Spirited jigs join haunting plain chants, medieval hymns and dancing carols bringing the listener images of ancient civilizations, desert landscapes and stone monasteries where the spirit of Christmas was born.
