A Flute in Ice is based on the discovery in 1871 of the explorer W.Barentsz’s cottage in Novaja Zemlja from his last expedition in 1596. Here a renaissance flute was found, together with a songbook and a drum stick. Performed on a replica of the flute, with drums lute and viol, the listener can hear the music that perhaps was the last that the great explorer heard, and has lain forgotten for 400 hundred years.
