Ambitious setting of a classic of mediaeval literature
Gaë Bolg is the brand name for the bombastic, martial, and uniquely mediaeval sounds from the forge of French musician Eric Roger, also known as Sol Invictus' former trumpeter. Hymn-like and martial, the music of Gaë Bolg tells us about battles, binges, and heroic deeds in the Middle Ages. The concept album "Aucassin Et Nicolette" is based on the eponymous piece of literature from the year 1225 and is more serious, musically richer, and more diverse than previous releases by this ensemble.
