Something Very Old for the Weekend


I used to post a music video every friday, for weekend, when I first started blogging. I thought I might start that again. :-) This one, however, is a saga rather than a song. It's a portion of the story of Beowulf and it is being accompanied by one of my favourite antique musical instruments, a hurdy-gurdy.

    Never seen nor heard of it before. I've learnt another new thing from you. :-)

    I couldn't get hand crank and ancient together in my head so I did some online research. Yep, if pre 1000 AD is ancient (and I'd say yes!) then ancient it is. What a remarkably complex instrument for that time. It has a great sound. Thanks for post this.
