Minstrels' Guild of Drachenwald

What's On This Site?

Read the charter of the Minstrels' Guild.
Or just get charter, updates and comments in a nutshell.
How can you judge the quality of a bardic performance? There are some guidelines here.
Then there's a page with stories that I update occasionally.
Find some info about psalteries!
Here's a dictionary of musical terms in several Drachenwald languages.
And of course we have a link list.

We do:

• Singing
• Playing Instruments
• Writing lyrics or stories
• Building musical instruments
• Research about medieval and renaissance music and storytelling traditions
• Storytelling
• Writing music

... and trying to get people together to make music, exchange songs and stories and information, and encourage SCAdians to try their hands at the Bardic Arts.

To this purpose the Minstrels' Guild holds an event called "Bards' Night" once a year. (Or at least that's the plan ;-)
