Ensemble La Chimera  - Nordlys

direction Eduardo Egüez

 

Nordlys, meaning "the northern light", is an early fusion project around the Scandinavian manuscript from XVI century “Piæ Cantiones”. The Ensemble La Chimera revisit this pages creating new sonorities, from the authentic medieval style of the period until our days, combining early instruments as lute and viola da gamba, the traditional Swedish nyckelharpa and the modern saxophone.
