Nota - Anonymous (1200)
On Aug. 11, 2012, they performed this song live, among others, at the Renaissance Fair in Big Bear City, California: youtube.com/watch?v=_EZKdrmb9FA
Children Medieval Band:
Stefan (9) - Tenor Recorder, Violin
Olga (8) - Soprano Recorder, Violin
Cornelia (5) - Keyboard
One of the most irritating thing on the web is that people who have not much knowledge, insist on posting opinions about stuff which they don't know. So we get messages like: 'this sounds horrible... teach dem to play violins...etc'. These people miss the point: the kids are not prodigies, they don't even attempt to become good violin players; the point is THEY PLAY THE RIGHT KIND OF MUSIC. And in time maybe they will choose an instrument or another and continue improving on it. Anyway, a while ago, Stefan won a contest for the 1st violin seat in a Colorado children orchestra, so he's not that bad. But for now he's more interested to get better on guitar. Olga can play keyboard, violin and recorder, but for now seems to be more interested to practice on drums (even if that seat is already taken:)...
Yes, these are cheap violins, but too many don't know that during 1200s musicians didn't have violins (they were build after 1600') but rebecs. The music was composed for rebecs and there is a certain charm about that sound - modest, humble and still beautiful.
