<p>Late medieval and traditional music from the Mediterranean countries.</p>
<p>“Mneme” by the Greek early music ensemble “Ex Silentio” is an intriguing collection of musical remembrances from all around the mediterranean sea: dances, songs and instrumental pieces from medieval and early renaissance sources. <br />The musicians of Ex Silentio, being at home both in the traditional folk music and the “classical” early music world, create a colorful portrait of these ancient times, telling of mighty kings, noble knights and beautiful princesses that once populated those countries as well as people’s imaginations then as now.<br />“Mneme” is as much a historically well-informed performance of this ancient music as it is a visionary and highly creative fairytale  derived from Greek mythology and mediterranean psyche.</p>
