Product Overview

Crumhorns features a complete ensemble of authentic medieval double-reed instruments, spanning soprano to bass ranges. Captured at the Silent Stage, the library is tailored for period music productions, offering a bright and nasal timbre characteristic of Renaissance compositions.

Details

This library includes five distinct crumhorns, providing a variety of articulations such as staccato, short portato, and sustained notes. The recordings encompass both long and short notes, with options for legato and fast repetitions, ensuring expressive performance capabilities. The close capture at the Silent Stage allows for a dry sound, while mixer presets facilitate authentic placement in a larger acoustic environment.

Performance controls enable users to switch off internal reverb, allowing for flexible integration into various virtual spaces. The instrument's range covers just one octave, making it ideal for melodic lines in historical contexts. The crumhorn's unique design and sound make it a valuable addition for composers focusing on medieval and Renaissance scores.
