Ensemble Stella Nova
Cammini Medievali
Stella Nova is an ensemble of passionate musicians moved by a common interest in ancient culture and music. Inspired by the work of the foremost Italian and foreign medieval music groups - those who stay true to historical medieval music through extensive research of paleographical, iconographical and organological sources - the Stella Nova musicians want to contribute to the rediscovery of medieval music and to the spirit with which to make this music today. Stella Nova transmits the medieval era with interpretive fidelity and uses accurate reconstructions of period instruments often obtained on the basis of precise iconographic references. The music on 'Medieval Paths' is both sacred and secular. The songs are taken from manuscripts, collections and codes that have fortunately been preserved over time and handed down to us. The instruments used by Stella Nova are accurate reconstructions of period instruments, taken from drawings found in medieval manuscripts, and in bas-reliefs, frescoes and iconography.
