ESTAMPIE wurde 1985 von Sigrid Hausen, Ernst Schwindl und Michael Popp gegründet. Die Gruppe hat bis heute 10 CDs und eine DVD veröffentlicht und entwickelte sich zu einem international bedeutenden Vertreter der MUSIK DES MITTELALTERS. Das Ensemble konzertierte im In-und Ausland und wirkte bei zahlreichen Rundfunk- und Fernsehaufnahmen mit. Darüber hinaus beteiligte sich ESTAMPIE an genreübergreifenden Produktionen mit Tanz, Theater und Performance. Im Laufe der Jahre wirkten insgesamt mehr als 60 Musiker mit verschiedensten musikalischem Background aus allen Kontinenten in der Gruppe mit. Aktuell konzertiert das Kernensemble in neuer Besetzung, daneben gibt es die beiden Kooperationen "Al Andaluz" (mit Musikern aus Spanien und Marokko), sowie "Marco Polo" (mit mongolischen Musikern).

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
HEILSA! THANX for the ADD and WELCOME in OUR ”out-of-time” SPACE!
