Tourdion

A song about spring, from Piae Cantiones (1582). I play harp and Härjedalspipa in low D (a traditional Swedish folk whistle), made by Gunnar Stenmark.

Lyrics:
In vernali tempore ortu lætabundo,
Dum recedunt frigora nunciat hirundo,
Terræ, marries, nemoris decus adest deforis,
Renovato mundo
Vigor redit corporis cedit dolor pectoris,
Tempore iucundo.

This recording was featured in the soundtrack to the computer game "Dominions 4" by Illwinter Game Design (www.illwinter.com).

In Vernali Tempore

Where Faeries Live (featuring cornetto and whistle) by Eduardo Tarilonte

This album is like a book about Norway, written not in words but in sound. Each composition is a page where fjords and seas awaken, mist and northern sun drift by, fishermen’s rugged days and quiet village evenings unfold. The music begins with a tender piano or violin solo, while the orchestra weaves in the breath of the wind, the power of waves, and the vastness of the horizon. This is not merely music—it is a journey into the heart of northern nature and the soul of those who live beside it.

Piano 5-4

The sounds of a large city at night, held in a fantasy world with swords and sorcery abound. A truly immersive piece to use while highlighting the City your players have arrived in.
