Hello my friend. I have a request! Helas Madame. I don't think it's one you've done already as i had a look. Apparently, it was from the Bayeux Manuscript. I bet it sounded amazing in court. I love the Martin Luther associated compositions you have in your catalogue. Along with the historical facts you include in your descriptions. They are my favourite and i play them quite often. Most of the views are probably from me haha.

I believe the Henry VIII one is the correct one. I don't have it, but I think i read that it was taken from the Bayeux Manuscript. Henry apparently used it in his court. There seems to be a bit of confusion amongst people about its origin. But much appreciated if you get round to doing it.
@earlymusicmidi2 күн бұрын
There actually are two versions with slight variation. The Henry VIII version is likely his take on a much earlier French original in the Bayeux MS. I will put it on my list. Thanks for the recommendation 😊

@@earlymusicmidi Looking forward on that. I remember how someone (can't remember that person - maybe a fellow student or a professor, long ago) once came up with the idea to have the cantus firmus played on a trombone and the rest sung whilst the whole setting gets accompanied by organ and/or other instruments.
@earlymusicmidi27 күн бұрын
@ I have done that in the past in real life when I directed my own ensemble. It helped to emphasize the cantus firmus and it became a more didactic lesson. But I stopped doing it because I think the beauty of embedding a cantus firmus in between the other parts is to create a musical puzzle and a well-textured blend of sounds. Also I think Herr Luther wanted the human voice to stand out above all other sonorities including the pipe organ. 🤔🎶

Sounds quite different and also more rough and lifelike, compared to the other software - but it somehow managed to swallow the first three crotchets in the second line of the cantus (but not the last crotchet "F" in that line). I listened four times over that passage (from 0:15 to 0:37) then I stopped because I got too disappointed - sorry and never mind, dear friend.

I think I noticed that the leading consonants seem a bit truncated. I think I can adjust for that in the future. There is the option to lengthen every sound element. I glissando effect on the leading note was intentional. I was trying to capture the feel of early American music of which this tune is one of the earliest. It was found in the collection of William Bradford, leader of the first Puritan colony in Massachusetts.

I still remember, when, many years ago, a gentlemen, who was my harshest and, by the way, most revered critic, after having listened to this song (performed by the Amarcord Ensemble from Leipzig), told me how impressed he was by the "child like innocence" of this melody. Back then, I somehow had the strong impression that he was referring to Christ's word about the innocence that is needed to enter the realm of God - and I never forgot that moment.
