What's that?


From the sleevenotes:
"Atmospheric recordings by Richard Margoschis of British wildlife through the seasons... Wild Britain is a celebration of natural habitats in Britain through the seasons, from early spring to midwinter. The tracks have been carefully selected from the collections of the British Library National Sound Archive to represent a wide range of wild soundscapes in different moods. From a bleak, wintry valley in Scotland to a gentle summer's morning in an English woodland, they capture the varied ambience of our diverse countryside."

I've had the CD - CDs rather, as it's a double set - since 1997, when I won it in a prize draw in the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers' members' magazine.

Back to Meiloyn's original question: Baroque recorder concertos (Vivaldi, Telemann and Sammartini) performed by Sonnerie featuring Pamela Thorby.

Tongue What does "Juculatores" mean? And please add more general knowledge about the actual piece "Skogen, Flickan och Flaskan"


From the sleevenotes (which date from 1990 or earlier)...
Joculatores Upsalienses (Upsala Jesters) are a group of musicians devoted to bringing to life music of the past - primarily from the 13th to the beginning of the 17th centuries. Their repertoire consists of both sacred music and secular songs, dance music etc., sung and played on more or less exotic sounding instruments of old design. The group started in 1965 as a pure spare-time venture, but soon became engaged in public performance and has appeared with increasing frequency in concerts and on international and domestic radio and television. By virtue of their free-wheeling, captivating style, the Joculatores and their music have become known and appreciated by people from all walks of life. Over the years the number and nature of the group has changed, but of its five founder members, four are still active. Several are music teachers, but there is an astronomer, a librarian, a computer specialist, a chemist, one museum director and even a musician(!), all joined by their enthusiasm for old music.

"Skogen, flickan och flaskan" is the name of an album, not an individual piece. FWIW here's the track listing:
