In 1988, a magnificent 17th-century manuscript was miraculously found hidden behind a wall. The incredible discovery was the Codex Caioni, a work compiled by monk Johannes Caioni that offers some of the best insights available today on musical activity in Transylvania around 1650.

At this crossroads of Europe and Asia, a single musician, whether Zingaro or Hungarian, could sing mass in the morning and get people dancing at a neighborhood party in the evening. This work, focused around a wedding day’s events, reflects this disparity, even in the pieces performed by two dancers.
