Neo-Medieval music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neo-Medieval music is a modern popular music characterized by elements of Medieval music and early music in general.[1] Music styles within neo-Medieval music vary from authentic performance interpretations of Medieval music (understood as Classical music) to crossover genres that blend Medieval instruments, such as bagpipe, shawm and hurdy-gurdy with electronic music and rock. In many cases, it is more or less overlapping with styles such as folk rock, British folk rock and neofolk.
