Singer/instrumentalist John Fleagle created some of the most lyrical and
inventive performances of medieval song. With a background in jazz and
traditional singing, his voice captivated audiences at festivals around the
world.
His contemporary style of interpretation breathed life into poems some seven or
eight hundred years old--be they in Old French, Latin, Middle English or Gaelic.
He fashioned compelling arrangements of his songs on beautiful reconstructions
of medieval stringed instruments: lute, gothic harp and hurdy-gurdy, which he
also designed and built.
Fleagle is well known to radio audiences here and abroad for his epic musical
storytelling adventures, including the Voyage of Saint Brendan and the Roman de
Silence. He can be heard, as well, on Erato, New Albion and BMG records.
