Background: The unpredictable omnipotence of death uniquely influenced life and culture in the Middle Ages. Based on Christian hopes of life after death and prompted by the desire for spiritual salvation the precautions taken escalated in the late Middle Ages. The ideas of hell purgatory the Last Judgement and the eternal dance of the blessed in heaven became all-pervading. A culture of death as something beautiful emerged the resulting ideal of death as the final fulfilment spreading to all areas of life. In order to incorporate the different sometimes diametrically opposing views on this topic and their modes of expression into a dramaturgical whole Ioculatores used excerpts from different historical texts in concertato performances at a number of venues. This recording uses different acoustic environments too acquiring something of the nature of a radio play. At the recording sessions the Romanesque monastery church in Thalbürgel was the acoustic backdrop. Recording techniques included performing while moving from one acoustic environment to the next the sole surround sound microphone used being carried in the process. |
