In this unusual and wholly engaging program, the instrumental ensemble Constantinople undertakes a musical journey that draws inspiration from a 15th-century travel diary. The group's aim is to explore "the musical richness and traditions" of the time and places eloquently described in colorful detail by Clavijo, an emissary from Castile to the court of Tamerlane in the Asian capital, Samarkand in 1403. These five excellent musicians accomplish their purpose both with existing music from early manuscripts and with their own creations based on traditional styles and rhythmic/harmonic/modal structures, in this case from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions from Spain to Greece, Turkey, and Persia.
