Folkcorn
Folk music band from the Netherlands. Folkcorn plays historic folkmusic from the Netherlands and Flanders.
Repertory
The most part of the repertory of the group originates from the period between 1400 and 1900 A.C. and is derived from antique collections such as "Haerlems Liedboek", "Het Geuzen Liedboek" and "Het Antwerps Liedboek".
Instruments
Both traditional and contemporary types of instruments are played by the group, e.g.: plucked dulcimer, recorders, bagpipes and "chalumeau", together with folkguitar, autoharp, kazoo's and the old type of transportable harmonium ("psalmpump"). Accordingly, the way of performing the music is variable: some of the music is played as true as possible to the original meaning and arrangements (such as the unaccompanied madrigals), other songs have a contemporary, modern arrangement.
Performance
Accordingly, during the performance, one may therefore experience a playful variegation in folk, popular music, traditional folkmusic and medieval- and renaissance music.
