专辑简介

Sarabande was formed in the spring of 2004 when Lisa Thompson (flute, recorder, clarinet), Julia Hull (violin), and Matt Schwarz (guitar, flute, and harp) met when preparing to be musicians at the New Jersey Renaissance Kingdom. Maria Gavilanes joined later on percussion and guitar. Starting out with renaissance pieces, they soon branched out to include Irish jigs and reels and wild Eastern European gypsy melodies. After frequent requests for a CD, the group recorded 18 of their favorites in the winter/spring of 2006, mixing lovely, mellow pieces with lively and exciting dance tunes.
