INTRODUCTION.

A lot of cathedrals include in their sculptures traditional music intruments, typical in the Middle Ages.

Music in the Middle Ages is still present through groups that continue to play the music of those times with traditional instruments. These instruments have been recreated from those we can find in buildings like the Cathedral of Santiago (Porch of the Gloria) and other monuments from that times. Important festivals  of  this type of music take place in Europe: Ortigueira, Island of Man, Glasgow, etc.

 The class is going to write a Music magazine. Visit the website "Traditional music instruments" and get information about the Middle Ages instruments, after that  each two students will write an article about a group of music that uses traditional instruments. You´ll write about the group, their main songs and events where they take part
