Übersetzte Zeit

In music, bridging the gap to medieval themes is currently very popular. Gregorian chants in the charts are just one variation among many. The exciting combination of the present and the Middle Ages, situated between identification and distancing, is also evident in numerous arrangements of medieval music by contemporary composers and ensembles.

The volume approaches these multifaceted phenomena of contemporary medieval reception from eleven perspectives, supplemented by Dieter Schnebel's new composition of Guillaume de Machaut's "Kyrie."

Guillaume de Machaut / Dieter Schnebel: Kyrie (commissioned composition)
