About

This 3 CD box takes the listener back to the Middle Ages, through Europe to the Holy Land in the footsteps of the Knight Templars. The Knights Templar order emerged shortly after the first Crusade in 1099 when nine Knights swore to devote themselves to protect the Christian pilgrims visiting Jerusalem and the holy places. The order owed its rapid growth in popularity to the fact that it combined the two great passions of the Middle Ages, religious fervour and martial prowess and for nearly 200 years, they were a part of the structure of everyday society in Europe. One day, on October 13th 1307, it was all over…

CD1 Music for a Knight
Concentrates on the familiar grounds for a knight, on what would be possible for him to hear in church, at the courts, the enjoyment of spring and young life.

CD2 Music of the Church
Focuses on the music of the church. Most likely a Knight Templar when not in a battle spent a lot of time praying. Dominating music of the monasteries of the Middle Ages and further on in history: Gregorian chant represents the continuing musical tradition of the Catholic Church.

CD3 Music of the Mediterranean
Continues the Knights musical journey towards Palestine and Jerusalem.
