THE MUNDI ENSEMBLE: GETTING MEDIEVAL IN TEXAS The Mundi Ensemble sounds like the name of a classical group
polaying ancient music on Original instruments. The Mundi Ensemble
does play Ancient music, but with a post-modern sensibility. Headed
up by British born guitarist Darrel Mayer, the ensemble plays
ancient songs and new compositions with a minimalist sensibility
and a hint of Duane Eddy, albeit on classical guitar. Their second
album, AS BARLEY FALLS (check) is a whimsical mix of the old and
new, recorded live in an Austin church where they're based. Members
of the Mundi Ensemble talk about ancient sounds in the Texan heartland.
