Patrick Ball and the Medieval Beasts: with Shira Kammen and Tim Rayborn
- Public Event
| Presented By: | Caltech Folk Music Society |
Patrick presents a special show, "The Flame of Love," which includes stories, his wonderful Celtic harp playing, as well as the accompaniment of Shira Kammen (vielle, medieval harp, voice) and Tim Rayborn (lute, psaltery, medieval harp, voice.) The long, dark nights of Medieval Europe were rich with stories. But one legend was told and beloved beyond all others, "The Romance of Tristan and Iseult." Filled with love, passion, magic, and death, it captivated the listeners because it was the very mirror of their own hearts, minds and souls. And to raise the telling beyond the power of words there was music: the vielle, the harp, the drum, the psaltery, and the singing voice. All this made for evenings of brilliance and enchantment throughout the Dark Ages. In "The Flame of Love," Patrick Ball and The Medieval Beasts bring this same enchantment into our own time and place.
