Cantaria

Cantaria is designed and maintained by Kate Akers and Scott Jernigan. It is an entirely non-profit endeavor, completely supported by the designers. Scott, a bard of many years in the Society for Creative Anachronism, has provided many of the digital recordings for Cantaria. He studied Medieval and Renaissance History at the University of Houston, a... lthough he left after attaining his M.A. to pursue a job with his other love - computers. Kate, only a shower-bard herself, has a passionate interest for music, history, art, and literature of the middle ages, as well as love for traditional folk music of all times. She has been publishing on the Web since 1993 and is currently the webmaster for University of Missouri Outreach and Extension and owns Chivalry Music, which offers web site design, marketing and promotion services to musicians. In combining their talents to create Cantaria, Scott and Kate hope to provide a valuable resource for bards and all folk who enjoy and wish to keep alive the traditional music of western Europe. If you enjoy Cantaria and find it a useful and valuable resource, tell us! Or, if you find problems or have suggestions for improvement, tell us that, too -- but please try to be helpful, not just critical. We really do appreciate helpful feedback. Nothing keeps us motivated to keep building the site like "warm fuzzies!"Read More
