Corona Borealis - Tourdion

Founded in 1996 by Kristian Nordeide and Ronny Hovland (e.g. Ares of Aeternus) This band draws inspiration from medieval sources as well as modern European folk music. The song structures are based on a modern approach and no attempts are made at making an ``authentic`` sound. Corona Borealis play dark mood music and blend in dance music from pagan sources. For most of the material accoustic instruments are used, but the band also experiment with other soundscapes - using loops and low pitched synthetic drones etc. to accentuate their musical vocabulary. - EM:TMA

The band changed their name to Dovinia in 2007.

GREAD SONG

[PandaRS]

@ladybirdZuzka Tourdion is the original song, from Renaissance (not a medieval one, as some people said). Blackmore's, Rhapsody and others bands took his melody and make some minor changes, so they can rename the music as they wish.

Have you ever heard the song "The Village of Dwarves" from Rhapsody?
