The Age Of Chivalry

/

The Age of Chivalry tells of a time of kings and queens… of legendary knights and honourable battle… a time when gentlemen laid their cloaks in puddles and fought to protect the fair maidens of the realm… and a time when magic and witchcraft were powerful forces in the land.

Imagination fuels legend, and this recording is full of imagination bringing music from a wide diversity of genres together under the spell of the age of chivalry.

Original brass music such as The Kings Herald from ‘Pageantry’ is thrown into the melting pot with music from the movies (For the Love of a Princess), from the classics (The Scorcerer’s Apprentice) and the world of rock with a Queen trilogy which includes Fat Bottomed Girls and Don’t Stop Me Now, to create a musical potion to satisfy all tastes.

Conductor Philip Harper provides original works as well as arrangements, including ‘The Royal Game‘, to compliment works by the likes of Herbert Howells and Denis Wright.
