Alkemie joins forces with composer ELLIOT COLE to reanimate the ancient tale of King Arthur. Cole combines new and old words and music in an original setting of the fourteenth-century stanzaic romance, the Morte Arthur. Spoken word, monophonic songs, motets, and instrumental commentary and interludes are woven together to tell the age-old story of Arthur, Guenevere and Lancelot, exploring themes of love, honor and duty that still resonate today. Flashes of transmuted medieval melodies, motifs, and works act as points of light that are variously refracted and recombined.
