Asteria : Quant la doulce jouvencelle (medieval love songs)

[@nellymacquinghen1783]

Que c'est beau de les entendre tous les deux...On se sent dans un autre monde.

[@Lardenoy]

Magnifique ! J'ai cru reconnaître le château de Germolles près de Beaune et ses peintures murales au " chiffre " des Ducs de Bourgogne...

[@noahbrown332]

What lord could not melt at such a face and such a voice? What lady could not melt at such artful playing and keen harmony?

[@MLOI18775]

Listening to this fantastic version, one can really feel the same as a person could feel thousand a years ago, when sitting at a medieval banquet was delighted by troubadours.

[@chandos2008]

I live in medieval time and I really like this song... amazing!!!

[@pascalhabecker6202]

[@aurore-colettegladu4842]

Que j'aime ce genre musical .... oh oui.... empreint de douceurs, nostalgie et si mélodieux...

[@Heimrik01]

aurore-colette gladu Moi aussi !

[@megenberg8]

Some of the notes are somewhat discordant, as art this elegant reflective sound has a pagan or rather primitive sound that leaves me glad to be a modern upper mid-western American.... but his strings are superb as is her voice, crystalline and a complete 10.10.

[@Capybaraism]

They are soulmates!

Quel magnifique duo! Le jeu du lute et les accords de voix sont extraordinaires. Très envoûtant :) Ferait-ce appel aux mémoires passées logées en nous ? Qui sait!

[@MrJeanBombers]

@keziah44 II- Cette chanson anonyme provient d'un manuscrit daté d'avant 1436 et composé pour la cour de Bourgogne du comte Philippe III dit "le bon". Il fait partie du leg "Canonici" et est actuellement la possesion de la "Bodleian Library" (bibliothèque Bodléenne) d'Oxford (GB). Il est répertorié sous la référence "Can Misc 213" (= Canonici Miscellaneous 213) et la chanson occupe la feuille 124 du manuscrit (je tiens à votre disposition le fac simile de la f124 et/ou les adaptations)

Magnifique interprétation !!!

[@lhommealacigarette]

Quand la douce jeune femme La très gracieuse et belle De qui je suis amoureux Veut me rendre heureux Ne dois-je pas lui obéir ? Bien sûr que oui, parce que c'est elle Qui m'appelle mon doux ami Je ne pourrais pas être plus heureux Quand la douce jeune femme La très gracieuse et belle De qui je suis amoureux Le plaisir en moi se renouvelle Nature amère que je ne cherche pas, Pour servir le désir en tous lieux Dans ma capacité Du bien au mieux Ma volonté est donc la suivante. Quand la douce jeune femme La très gracieuse et belle De qui je suis amoureux Veut me rendre heureux Ne dois-je pas lui obéir ?

[@VitaliyGR]

A characteristic way to play the medieval bowl lute, with the hand almost parallel to the strings it plucks. We see at once that it is quite different even from a Renaissance lute, let alone a modern guitar. A wonderful performance, all in all.

[@Cakeyizm]

So natural and beautiful

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

Quanto e' bella giovinezza che si fugge tuttavia chi vuol esser lieto sia del doman non v'e' certezza

[@NicholasBreezeWood]

You work really well together and I love the early lute.. nice to see mid-late medieval music played on a period instrument instead of a later one.. very nice. Nick

[@Loribyn]

Magnificent!

[@LilFrg]

Lyrics: Quant la doulce jouvencelle, La tres gracieuse et belle, Celle dont suy amoureux Veult que me tiengne joyeux, Ne doy je obeir a elle? Certes ouy, car cest celle, Qui son doulx amy mapelle; Estre ne puis plus joyeux. Quant la doulce jouvencelle, La tres gracieuse et belle, Celle dont suy amoureux. Plaisir en moy renouvelle, Nautre amer je ne quier quelle, Servir la vueil en tous lieux, A mon pouvoir, De bien en mieux, Ma volonte si est telle. Quant la doulce jouvencelle, La tres gracieuse et belle, Celle dont suy amoureux Veult que me tiengne joyeux, Ne doy je obeir a elle?

[@LilFrg]

English lyrics according to lyricstranslate.com/en/quant-la-doulce-jouvencelle-when-gentle-young-lady.html When the gentle young lady The very gracious and beautiful one With whom I am in love Wants to make me happy Must I not obey her? Of course yes, because it she Who calls me her sweet (boy)friend I could not be happier When the gentle young lady The very gracious and beautiful one With whom I am in love Pleasure in me renews Bitter nature I do not look for, To serve desire in all places In my ability From good to better My will thus is this. When the gentle young lady The very gracious and beautiful one With whom I am in love Wants to make me happy Must I not obey her?

MELODIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE !!!!

[@acerb4566]

How could England have ever fought the glory of France! Christian unity could have calmed mens minds back then!

[@rpc090020]

It was fought for the glory of kings, and disputes of who is a rightful heir. Of course that is just the surface though, really it is about controlling people. Why are men not calm now, where is unity and calm in our modern world? We sure could use it now; oH*, yeah, it is about control.

[@rpc090020]

rpc090020 great music

[@MalayArcher]

how did you get the time machine?

[@larryebishop]

The instrument is an oud, actually from northern Africa and southwest Asia.

[@andreafalconiero9089]

No, the instrument is a _lute_ from western Europe, as is the music, of course. You can tell it's a lute because it is fretted, although there are other design details that also make this clear.

[@southernalpha8]

🖤

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Medieval lute need to be played with plectrum of feather in order to sound authentic.Thus it gave music more renaissance vibe.

[@frenchiecocorico1]

And more precisely with an eagle feather plectrum like for the arabian oud

[@Egglesplork]

_____Medieval Europe before the Enlightenment produced awesome songs--medieval tunes, Christmas carols, etcetera. Medieval Europe AFTER the Enlightenment produced awesome songs--all the songs we enjoy to this day. It's just that CLASSICAL music--music made during the Enlightement--really, really sucks. Nobody who lives five miles from a college campus loves that crap.

[@LaCarusiella]

this is great but the lute makes me think of Dowland and the Renaissance, not the Middle Ages...I think they used the Oud back then, which they imported from the East coming back from the Crusades.

[@andreafalconiero9089]

No, Europeans didn't generally use the _oud_ in the middle ages. There are images of fretted, bowl-backed chordophones (lutes) in illustrations found in the _Cantigas de Santa Maria_ (ca. 1250) which are distinctly different than the ouds that are also illustrated in the same work, and that is about *150 years* before the end of the high middle ages ca. 1400 when this music was composed and performed. Early forms of the lute which are usually described as _cythara_ are also depicted in other European manuscripts as early as 830 AD. It is possible that the design and construction of the lute was influenced by ouds brought back to Spain, but this type of instrument was certainly nothing _new_ to European musicians -- they'd been playing similar instruments for centuries!

[@regine79]

Envoutant! Magnifique interpretation.. Aimerait plus de précisions sur cette chanson ; svp .

[@keziah44]

il faudrait mettre les paroles et l'histoire de cette chanson.merci :) bonne continuation

[@dariusyang9228]

Subtitles would be nice!

[@Almakaren89]

is she breathing trough her mouth? I thought so... anyway beautiful voice!

[@emiantorre63]

Música preciosa, muy bien interpretada. El vídeo podría mejorarse, no acompaña tan buen trabajo. ¡Enhorabuena!

[@Edralis]

he looks a bit like LuLa...

[@sirasy]

what language is that?

[@jginepro1270]

+sirasy It's Middle French (15th century).

[@sirasy]

thank You! Very beautiful! Where can I find the text?

thank You VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

[@Fabzil]

Un troubadour qu'a pas les cheveux longs c'est pas un troubadour ^^

[@frenchiecocorico1]

Où avez vous inventé cette idiotie ? Regardez les illustrations nombreuses qui fourmillent dans les chansonniers (disponibles en téléchargements gratuits sur le site "Gallica" de la BnF: Wölfenbüttel, chansonnier du Roi, chansonnier de Montpellier, ....) de ce temps et vous constaterez que les troubadours n'avaient pas forcément les cheveux longs car coiffeurs et barbiers existaient déjà. C'était même un signe de bonne éducation que d'avoir une pilosité soignée.

[@merdrubu]

...et les poils de ton cul ils sont comment? crétin! abruti! tu craches sur ce que tu es et en l'occurrence sur dix siècles de ton histoire, ce qui revient à te chier dessus!

[@andreafalconiero9089]

In any case, both the lutenist and the singer _do_ actually have long hair -- not that it matters in the slightest.

[@DGSE]

Ils chantaient vraiment comme cela au moyen-age? En tout cas bravo 5 *

[@philoumars3168]

ça change des "fuck you" c'est sûr.

[@gflower1970]

This is a fabulous rendition of a fabulous tune, performed with emotion and love. BUT someone needs to talk to the early music community about not going half-way when wearing "period" clothing to perform. No, it's not enough to put together a polyester velvet gown from a Simplicity pattern and call it medieval (even if Simplicity calls it medieval). And butterfly hair clips...they did NOT have butterfly hair clips in Machaut's time, I'm sorry. If you can't do it plausibly, please don't do it.
