Songs of the Bohemian Middle Ages
Music by Jarom�r Vogel

The ala Bohemica is the instrument generally known as the Bohemian Wing. In medieval written records the adjective "bohemica" appears in a single source. In the Cancellarium of the Bishop of Olomouc Jan of Streda, mentioned several times before, we read of Jesco, playing the ala Boemica. In another place in the same source the same Jesco is mentioned as a player on the ala, i.e. without the Boemica. Given that no other source known today calls the instrument anything but ala (or ele and suchlike), we are justified in agreeing with the organologist Pavel Kurfurst that in the Olomouc source the adjective "boemica" is meant simply to indicate or stress the provenance of the instrument, and not as its real title. For this reason we also recommend the use of the title ala (wing) instead of the incorrect name ala bohemica (Bohemian Wing), introduced into the literature on instruments by Czech scholars of the 19th and 20th century and evidently taken over from them by the other authors. The ala (wing) existed for a relatively short time.

Another wonderful CD from the composer. If you are familiar with his other works, such as Anička s l�skov�mi oř�šky (Thread 177512), you'll love this one! This CD has also a few vocal arrangements from that soundtrack, like "Kanzonette" and "Na Zdrav�".
Enjoy and don't forget to rep/like! :)
