A German group blending traditional folk and Gregorian chant into a sound that feels both ancient and immediate.
For a quick sense of their style, try 'Nach Uns Die Sinn Flut' or 'In Der Nacht', they frame that blend of folk and chant pretty well.
They formed in 1994, taking their name from medieval German words for sorrow and chapel, and their music carries a distinctive medieval atmosphere. Songs like 'Nach Uns Die Sinn Flut' and 'Das Narrenschiff' show that style, while 'In Der Nacht' hints at their range within it. Their performances in historic churches across Europe connected their sound to the spaces where medieval music originally lived.
They released their debut album 'Es Ist Ein Meister Vom Himmel Gefallen' in 1998, followed by albums like 'Mirabile Mysterium' in 2001 and 'Dies Irae' in 2008. Their approach sometimes drew criticism for modernizing traditional forms, but they kept performing in halls that suited their sound.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
