Time Crawls
By Zefiro Torna

The Belgian ensemble Zefiro Torna takes us into a timeless universe with a reinterpretation of the 17 th century broken consort music. Melodies created by flute player Jowan Merckx received a new arrangement for flute, violin, viola da gamba, violone, harp and lute by composers Marnix De Cat and Martin Valcke. The newly written music bears traces of baroque and traditional music from all over Europe. The music, which is sometimes melancholic, sometimes nimble and festive, fascinates by its ingeniously crafted texture and invites to dance.
