Le Diamante et la Marguerite

The combination of transverse flute and drum was a popular ensemble in the time of Maximilian, and it is still seen today in the Basel Fasnacht. Ensemble Phaedrus, with four transverse flutes, Renaissance side drum, and voice, presents a program of French and Burgundian songs and dances, including the very beginnings of instrumental consort music such as is found in the Augsburger Liederbuch, the Leopold Codex, the basse-danse manuscript of Marguerite of Austria, and the Linz fragments. Experience firsthand the diversity and beauty of these musical pieces, which will take you on a beautiful journey into the past.
