Darkness Falling

For centuries, when darkness falls over the British Isles, stories have come to life that send shivers down the spine. Quadriga Consort breathes new life into these tales – with harpsichord, viols, recorders, percussion, and voice. The songs speak of cold nights, stormy winters, and survival in a harsh, barren landscape. Well-known folk ballads meet long-forgotten treasures from Ireland, Scotland, and England. In arrangements by Nikolaus Newerkla, they unfold with a unique intensity: archaic, moving, at times ghostly – and yet timelessly touching.

Programme

(The Undaunted Female, The Holland Handkerchief, Bessie Bell and Mary Gray, The Rich Old Lady, On a Cold Winter’s Day, The Standing Stones of Orkney, etc.)
