Orkiestra Św. Mikołaja
Orkiestra św. Mikołaja (The Saint Nicholas Orchestra) was formed in Poland in 1998. Since then they have focused their activities on everything associated with folklore, especially whatever has been condemned to be forgotten, and yet can inspire and enrich contemporary culture.
The instruments played are: violin, dulcimer, mandolin, mandola, double bass, dutar, flutes, bass drum, percussion instruments, guitars, turkish saz, and hungarian koboz.
Stylistically they depart from traditional patterns by making use of foreign or non-traditional instruments such as dutar or guitars. The arrangements are acoustic, and they incorporate stylistic elements from many musical cultures. The words and melodies are authentic and collected from written and aural archival records.
Sample tracks from their albums are available as downloads on their official site. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
