"Venus vina musica" CD by Corvus Corax

by Sonja Angerer (11.07.2006) The new studio album narrates a very special musical journey: in the 13th century, a touring minstrel started from his home in the German-Hungarian area to the far east to find the legendary tripper, Sanyogita. The album paints a musical picture of the stations of this journey: “Katrinka“ is about a drinking session on the Balkan, “Tuska” of the music of the minstrels, „Terzio“ was written after a halt in the Bretagne. The instrumental, “Urmawi“ is a gift of an Arabian erudite, „Sanyogita“ is about the home of the woman of his dream in Idia and Tibet, „Bibit aleum“ with its drum-part about the proud Samurai-warriors. “Lamentatio coelibatus“, the monks' lamentations about the abstinence given by their class, superimposed by Augustinus. All these influences come together for a sensual cocktail full of colours that still always remains Corvus Corax - an fantastic, wild journey through space and time.
