12 & 13. Century French Dance Song(Anonymous) Lautrier Men Aloie ................................................................................ Ensemble Galatia started its journey with gathering the medieval pieces in order to form a repertoire in Ankara, Turkey. The idea of performing medieval music was first brought out by Kaan BAHADIR and Selçuk DALAR in 2003. Later on, with participations of Yurdanur AKSOP in percussions and Serkan ÖZÇIFCI in bowed string instruments, the band started to shape. Following those, joining of Senem Gökçe OKULLU as the vocalist and Gökhan BULUT in percussions and lute, Ensemble took its final status as being the first and only band performing medieval music in Turkey. The instruments performed are all made by group members with contributions of a gifted luthier, Erkan KETENCI, trying to reconstruct them ,referring to medieval manuscripts. They include lute, vielle, rebec, psaltery, citole and setar as strings, recorders, transverse flutes, whistles and ney as wind and as percussions; frame drums, tambourines, darbuka, djembes, triangle and cymbals. The repertoire is mainly based on different kinds and forms of secular music performed between 10th and 16th centuries throughout Europe, including Troubadour, Trouvere & Minnesanger songs, Spanish Cantigas, Laudas , Andulisian songs, Sephardic songs and dance music. The lyrics are in Latin, old French, German , old English , Spanish and some of them, Arabic and Judeo Spanish. ......................................................................................................... ensemblegalatia https://youtube/watch?v=nBqtsaFaPcE
