Description
Since the ice melted and the first wild goose flew, the arrow in flight has stirred the hearts of people around the world.
Today, in Krackow, a beautiful trumpet melody announces each new hour from high in the tower of Saint Mary's Cathedral. The call ends abruptly in the middle of a phrase, just as it did in 1241 when the arrow of an invading Mongol archer pierced the heart of the trumpeter. The name Krackow points to a celebrated medieval city of art and learning. Krackow also draws our thoughts out to the vast steppes which the Mongol archer crossed, and the paths of early archers reaching across continents and oceans. The name Krackow Company celebrates the constructive dynamics of contemporary traditional archery as well as its roots which reach across time and space.
For a more complete account of the legend, and the tone of 13th-century Krackow, see The Trumpeter of Krackow by Eric Kelly.
