The Medievals – Early Music Ensemble
We are six professional musicians passionate about medieval reenactment. We recreate music and costumes from the 13th to the 15th century. We perform at battle reenactments, historical picnics and private events.
The Medievals performs medieval music, faithfully recreating its sound. Songs, dances and instrumental pieces in their original languages are played on replica instruments from the 13th–15th centuries — for a castle, a camp or a feast.
Historical dress from the 13th to 15th centuries is sewn from iconography. The instruments are artisan replicas: vielles, gittern, lute, recorders, shawm, frame drums. For an organizer that means one picture: music, costume and instruments as a single whole.
Instruments: knee fiddles (vielle), gittern, lute, frame drum, medieval recorders and shawm.
