In order to describe what Neo-Medieval is, we must begin by saying what it is not. Neo-Medieval is not about what medieval performers probably did, or even about what they might have done. The long road of historically informed performance ends abruptly before giving us enough raw material to make music. Too many questions end in silence.In this recording, Hesperus begins at that ending place, and works towards creating a living tradition, using whatever history and the music have left us as our raw materials.
