Bible of Olomouc, 1417

Weytora is a vocal and instrumental musical ensemble dealing with authentic interpretation of European medieval and Renaissance music. Its various repertoire covers a wide range of musical works from unisonous songs to polyphonic compositions of the Renaissance. The ensemble consists of five members, each of them playing several musical instruments. That makes it possible to choose the instruments according to the nature of the piece and to have a wide repertoire which includes different types of music like sacred music, love songs, drunkard songs or dance music.

At its performances, Weytora tries to evoke the atmosphere of the period concerned not only by music, but also by using close copies of historical instruments and clothes. It is natural that such a kind of music sounds best in historical surroundings and in acoustic version. Thanks to its instruments, Weytora is able to play some of its music even outdoors without using microphones, if the place is not too large or noisy.



Weytora deals also with musical accompaniment of historical dances, ie their reconstruction and choreographic arrangements. In this field, Weytora cooperates with several dance ensembles from Brno and from Prague.
