Troparium de Catania
Songs and feasts in Norman Sicily

Troparium de Catania evokes the sounds of a multiethnic medieval Sicily through vocal and instrumental music, which consist of sacred, lay, art and secular pieces. The “written” musical tradition is juxtaposed to the oral tradition of Sicilian songs. Medieval instruments of the Sicilian, Arabic and Persian traditions are used, in perfect harmony with the multiethnic reconstruction of the repertoire.
