Here we study and rehearse our music. Music must be played not only with the hands, but with the heart. IT does not matter what kind of music it is. It can be blissful, telling about love, folksy, loud, religious or what have you. But the heart and soul of the people performing must be in the music they perform. In the merchant’s house all of this can be enjoyed on the days I perform with my students. Such a wonderful thing happened recent. Some of the music we do was put into a box to be played so people can make their chamber merrier. This music can even be taken home with you.

"Who does evil shows that he has no music" (Hrabanus Maurus)
"Musicians (spelluden) and actors (gokler) are not people like others because they
only seem to be human and are almost equal to the dead." In the medieval times music could be heard everywhere: in the church, in the tavern, at the market place and in the home of the poor and the rich. The harder the times are, the more essential is music, live music of course. A lot of good music that helps people to overcome anything has been born during wars and plagues. The Saxon Land Law from ca 1235 reads: "Players or actors and those who brag in front of other people have no honour and no rights." As a rule the musician does not see his work as the center of the world - "Dulce musica opus Dei est". At the same time Guillaume de Machaut feels clear pride by writing: "I, Guillaume have been specially asked through poetry, music and rhetorics to…"
The other great musician on this CD, Francesco Landini was awarded a laurel wreath in Venice in 1364 which is a great honour for a musician.
Blessed is the one who has found service in church, court or by a rich merchant. But certain rules must be strictly obeyed not only when playing in church but also at weddings and feasts. It is all regulated - when and how much to play. Ignoring these rules can result in punishment. Sometimes musicians play in another room, away from the eyes of the party. In Olde Hansa, the home of a rich merchant, they sit under the ceiling on top of a cupboard or aside, unnoticed. This is the life of a medieval musician - to be rejected and valued at the same time.
In Olde Hansa, the home of a rich merchant, the honorable guest can taste the middle age with all five senses. The lady of the house who seems to have stepped down from an old painting guides the guests to their table, servants carry to the table dishes and drinks made according to the recipes of Hanseatic merchants.
Chalk paintings on the walls please the eye and music more than five hundred years old strokes the ear.
Olde Hansa musicians are young people who have studied ancient music in the studio "Music of the Silence" under the guidance of Tõnu Sepp.
Prita Purre - recorders
Kadri Linder - recorders, symphony, crumhorn
Margus Paju - rebec, citole, fiddle, latin guitar, crumhorn
Peeter Kesner - dulcimer, percussion
Veikko Lattu - percussion
Ken Kirss - percussion
Tõnu Sepp - fiddle, transverse flutes, crumhorn
Olde Hansa's traditional feast on the 12th day of the Christmas month was given special colour by the musicians guided by Tõnu Sepp. It came out the performed masterpieces have been issued as a brand new cd that was presented to the guests. Young people who played music belong to the studio "Music of the Silence" where Prita Purre, Kadri Linder, Margus Paju, Peeter Kesner, Veikko Lattu and Ken Kirss learn and play medieval music under the guidance on Tõnu Sepp. Recordings were made in Türi, Järva-Madise and the Tallinn Methodist Church, The sound director is Kaupo Uibo.
Olde Hansa is first and foremost known as a medieval dining and drinking place, the group of musicians that have gathered under the same name is obviously less known. The cover of the cd explains that the name hides behind it young musicians who have studied old music in the studio "Music of the
Silence" under the guidance of Tõnu Sepp. The album of "Hanseatic musicians" presents secular music of anonymous authors from the later middle ages (XII century), ars nova (XIV century) and early renaissance. It includes dance tunes characteristic of that time: virelai, istanpitta, ductia and caccia. I believe this album is also interesting to people who are not professional musicians as the dances of XII-XIV century are not less rhythmic than their present analogues. By the way, the author of this piece experienced the joy of recognition when he heard "Propinian de Meyor", a piece by an anonymous Spanish author from XII century. I used the opening motive of this piece on a cd of a rock group but I had forgotten the original title. So the author has a personal relationship with the cd.
Olde Hansa, the well-known dining place in Tallinn that offers medieval cuisine and atmosphere, has much more to it than just filling the stomach. One of the most
attractive activities is the performance of the group of young people who play old
music under the guidance of Tõnu Sepp and who have issued their first cd.
Recording took place in several churches that gives the music special clatter and echo. A lot of very beautiful and meditative music that even now feels purifying was born in the medieval times, specially during difficult years of wars and plague. It should be mentioned that in the middle ages musicians had no remarkable position in the society and therefore not many authors are not known by name. Composers and interpreters were at the same time humilated and glorified, for example musicians who played in taverns were sitting in another room or hidden somewhere. Thus, we can believe while listening to this cd that the performers are close to us somewhere, hidden from the eye but heard by the ear, doing their job with modesty and skill.
This cd is a good companion for dreaming on a snowy winter night in a room lit by candle light.
