Imaginez un cortège coloré de créatures et de personnages tout droit sortis des mythes ancestraux et légendes incroyables : magiciens et sorcières bouffons et jongleurs ménestrels et troubadours échassiers et monocyclistes lutins et gargouilles gnomes bruyants et farfadets riants dragons géants et fées volantes carrosses rutilants tirés par des licornes caracolantes tous se dirigent vers le château de Merlin l?Enchanteur.La musique est à l?image du scénario imaginé par lecompositeur : originale et lumineuse pour mieux nous livrer les secrets des couleurs médiévales. La percussion ouvre le cortège puis vient le temps de l?exposition des thèmes avant de les unir dans un subtil mélange aux couleurs de plus en plus intenses jusqu?au tableau final : l?entrée au château du devin et magicien Merlin.

In ‘Land of Legends’ German composer Andreas Ludwig (what’s in a name) Schulte takes you along to the fictional world of legends myths and fairy tales. The introduction to the first part (The Castle) describes the majestic contours of the scene of action. Its instrumentation (horns) immediately makes you imagine being in Medieval spheres. The addition of trenchant copper instruments even gives the part a heroic tinge. After entering through the gate a lot of hustle and bustle appears to be going on in the courtyard. Pages squires and soldiers are busy attending to their arms. Beer is being brewed flax is being spun cattle are being tended and some craftsmen fromneighbouring villages are busily at work. In the upper chamber of the round tower lives an old man (The Old Wizard). He hardly ever comes out and nobody knows exactly what he is doing. It is said that he is engaged in wizardry and magic. It is all very mysterious. There are also festivities some of them sober others exuberant. The wedding in the third part is celebrated in a grand manner. With a flourish of trumpets the bride makes her entrance at the hand of her father. Afterwards at the party there is dancing to the music played by minstrels and of course a plentiful banquet follows.
