A new creation in the early fusion series by the Argentinean conductor Eduardo Egüez based on the 16th century Scandinavian manuscript Piae Cantiones.

In search of new sounds from the language of the Middle Ages to modern music, he combines Renaissance and Baroque instruments, such as the theorbo and viola da gamba, with traditional Scandinavian instruments such as the hardingfele or nyckelharpa, and the saxophone.
