CD recordings
The Jubilatores is a
performing ensemble specializing in secular music of the Middle
Ages.
The Jubilatores, pronounced you-be-la-TOR-ez,
perform secular music of 10th through 15th Century Europe. The
ensemble regales listeners with the romance of the Troubadours to
the mysticism of Alfonso X's Spanish court, all played on
beautiful medieval instrument reproductions (modern pitch - A
440) including lutes, guitarras, fyddles, flutes, harp, psaltery,
and drums. From background music, to toe-tapping dance, to
educational performances, the Jubilatores perform in costumes of
the period, bringing listeners, young and old, a musical and
visual journey to the Middle Ages and early Renaissance.
Founded in 1984, the Jubilatores have
performed for universities, colleges, schools, libraries,
weddings, and private parties. Patrons of note include San Diego
State University, the San Diego Opera Guild, San Diego Early
Music Society, the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, the
Charter One Hundred of La Jolla, Ambassador Larry Lawrence, Comic
Con, Toledo main library, and the Toledo Art Museum.
The Jubilatores musical instrument
collection is extensive. Barry Ebersole is an instrument maker of
exceptional skill. His instruments are soon to be a featured
exhibit at the Toledo Art
Museum. Reproductions of
Medieval instruments and some rare antiques are featured in
