Musicians
With “Duo Lautensang” we play you a “Historical Crossover”. Folk songs complement our wide-ranging repertoire of instrumental dance tunes. Whistles and Northumbrian Smallpipes are carried through time by the guitar and bouzuki, and the “Bodhrán” adds the necessary “oomph” to the cheerful playing. The changing instrumentation in songs and dance melodies ensures a fresh variety. We play “Best FolkArt” and combine historical pieces with our own arrangements and melodies in the style of today’s folk music. We play mostly German and English songs and melodies. In some pieces you can identify our musical involvement in Irish folk.
Unusual instruments:
Northumbrian Smallpipes:
The bagpipes from North East England, operated with bellows and with their own incomparably lovely charm, first appeared in the 18th century, in a simple design and without keys.
Bodhrán:
This is the Irish frame drum. In principle, it is a drum similar to those found in other countries around the world. The special thing about the Irish frame drum is above all the way it is played.
Whistles:
In contrast to the recorder, there is no thumb hole or hole for the little finger. They come in many sizes and keys.
Irish Bouzuki:
A cittern with 4 double strings
Together with Reiner’s expressive guitar and bouzuki playing, a variety of possibilities arise in a musical journey through time in which we captivate your senses and give you an insight into the folk scene.
Get in touch with us. We are always happy to talk to you in person. Concerts, exhibitions, company parties or even private events are possible. Just talk to us.
In addition, in case venues would like to have the musicians in historical costumes, this can be arranged and booked as well.
