The latest show from acclaimed duo Blast from the Past takes in 600 years of musical history. Beginning in the Middle Ages, ending up in the 20th century and incorporating everything in between 'A Brief History Of Music' is a whistle-stop tour of Western musical history. Featuring long forgotten songs and tunes Blast from the Past paint a vibrant and vivid picture of our musical DNA, mixing the familiar and the obscure, the raucous and the reflective and the courtly and the commonplace. The album combines the vigour of the medieval period, the musical intricacy of theRenaissance, the grandeur of the Baroque and the pomp and bombast of Victoriana. Add to that a decidedly 21st-century approach to performance and arrangment and the stage is set for a veritable musical feast! Complete with a bewildering array of instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, rauschpfeife and vihuela (and that’s just the first 100 years!) ‘A Brief History of Music‘ will take you on a magical musical journey from which you won’t want to return!
