This recording presents an attempt to recreate music from Northern Europe during the Roman Era, especially the Celtic and Germanic styles. There is no written music, nor is there any for Rome, but the ensemble has attempted to recreate the instruments of the 2nd century A.D. for this region. The resulting music is frequently fanciful.
