Biography

DavidYardleyMusic.com - Fantasy and Medieval Music For Our Times Immersed in Medieval and Renaissance music since childhood, I'm a countertenor, medieval harpist and composer. Music has been my life-long passion. The new music I've written has been called "transcendent medieval-inspired music for modern times", which “transports our ears back to the medieval world”. It's been performed and broadcast in the US, the UK, Australia and more. I work with medieval secular and sacred texts which have no surviving music from their time, as well as contemporary fantasy poetry. As a performer, I've been a soloist in Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center, and have performed with outstanding ensembles across the world.

Read the latest review of my work here: https://www.classikon.com/cd-review-yardleys-transcendent-medieval-music-for-modern-times/ "For me, music is not the warm blanket, the quiet cows in the meadow. Nor is it arcane sophistry, braying from the ivory tower. It is the mythic sword of flames. It is the mournful tolling bell, the impenetrable blackness of the blasted abyss. It is soaring cold peaks and the mystical Elven vale. It is lightning and sulphur, elation and sorrow, dark emerald and dungeon stone."
