about

Abbots Bromley is a tiny English village and home to one of those ancient rites whose origins are lost in the mists of time. Every fall, several pairs of 1,000-year-old reindeer antlers are taken down from where they hang on a wall in the parish church and are paraded around the village and surrounding area in a dance that lasts for hours. The first of our medley is one of the tunes associated with that dance. It is followed by the Baerantanz, or Danse de l’Ours, possibly of Flemish origin, and J’ai Vu le Loup ("I have seen the wolf"), a French traditional tune. For these two pieces we’ve chosen to feature two sets of German hummelchen bagpipes and a hurdy-gurdy to conjure up the animals in the dark forests of medieval days.
