Medieval Phrases: Fiddle & Nyckelharpa is the latest addition to the Medieval Phrases series — dramatic live performances by two bowed instruments, and the same two instruments free to play note by note.

The fiddle’s bow carries the rhythmic melody; the nyckelharpa’s keyed design and resonant strings add the depth underneath. The field places both in the markets, taverns and festivals of late medieval Europe.

At a Glance

  • 8 fiddle themes and 7 nyckelharpa themes — the two figures the field states
  • Over 600 phrases the field’s own figure, and it says “over”
  • Syncs to DAW tempo the phrases follow the host rather than a fixed grid
  • Two playable instruments fiddle and nyckelharpa also play freely, outside the phrases
  • Five articulations named sustains, staccatos, pizzicatos, trills and turns; the field says “a variety”, so the list is open
  • Three FX named reverb, delay and a 4-band equalizer, given as examples of the FX page

A phrase library is a bet on the performance rather than on the note. Recording eight fiddle themes and seven nyckelharpa themes live, and then also handing over both instruments to play freely, is the vendor covering both halves of that bet.
