"Now the Celtae dwell beyond the pillars of Heracles..."
- Herodotus (Book II: 33)
This is an original song for a lyre and a violin, titled "Magnus Belenus", and it is part of the first album by PAUSIS ensemble. It is inspired by one of the most ancient and most widely worshiped Celtic deities, associated with the ancient fire festival: Great Belenus (or Magnus Belenus), or "The Shining God".
Belenus was for the ancient Celtics what was Apollo for the Greeks (see Augustan History), and he was thought to ride the Sun across the sky in a horse-drawn chariot.
Ancient lyre: Theodore Koumartzis
Violin: Marios Podaras

// Pausis or Pausa - a secret form of communication
A parallel unobserved form of expression behind the obvious, the unseen point where all obvious forms of communication (dialogue, sounds, gestures, writing) communicate and become capable of expressing something higher than their sum.

Ancient Orpheus meets High Medieval Orpheus.

Edit: I can see the linguistic similarities between Belanus and Apollo
