Description

An encounter between Gregorian chant and folk music. Through centuries, through generations, from person to person, these traditions have sounded side by side and still do. Gregorian chant from Sweden’s oldest book, Marian songs and Mass sections from various medieval manuscripts merge in a mysterious way with pastoral tunes from a saxophone. Leave the every- day noise and let yourself be brought beyond time and space!
