The artists decided to start a joint Tabaluga project: Peter Maffay contributed the idea and the composition, the musicians of the Capella the so-called magic harp and the old instruments. At the Bavarian State Exhibition of Emperor Heinrich II. (2002) in Bamberg , the ensemble provided the background music.
