18th Century French Traditional Music 1

[@nickmaurer8302]

I can imagine this playing as I’m being rolled up to the guillotine

[@Dibipable]

Vive le royaume de France ! 👊🏻✌🏻⚜️

[@Sfia-tk7pm]

This music is a such lovely melody!

[@pnwfisher2144]

Yes

[@tariqafridi21]

Nice music & traditional outfits!!

[@tinaboy99]

The festival at Chateau d'Ars. I know some of the crowd but members of the group are Maxou, Fredric and manu Paris from La Chavannée. Luckily I live nearby and am there every year. Originally known as the Festival St Chartier which was founded in 1976 to honour 100 years since the death of Georges Sands, who lived a few Km from there, and wrote a novel about the Maîtres Sonneurs. ( local bagpipe players.)

Maybe the uploader will eventually add this basic information to the video description above, so everyone may learn more.

[@JosMorn1]

This is FAR more of what should be heard in the Renn Faires I go to, instead of the "cringe rock" B-S you usually encounter... modern music with modern instruments and modern lyrics in costume just doesn't cut it for me.

[@zachowon]

Depends. There are modern bands that pull off this sound VERY well. The band that starts with an E and makes Celtic music for instance. You just gotta find bands that can make it sound classic, and doesnt even have to have modern lyrics

[@meilinchan7314]

It's in a mode that somehow, Westeners - Americans - consider as creepy.

[@Minilla3]

I guess Europeans are better at this than Americans are because they lived the renaissance period stuff..

[@nostalgiakarlk.f.7386]

This kinda reminds me of music played in Galicia today.

[@meee___meee]

I had to listen to this for school but I enjoyed it very much it was awesome!

[@rrpgsaint3499]

me to what grade

[@marcl.1346]

Exactly the same as the music everybody made in the mediaeval times. Wonderful! True european heritage.

[@marcl.1346]

***** Okay maybe not exactly but there is obviously a strong similarity with the music played by jesters in the court and common peasants during a farmerswedding or something. And yeah i do summarize the music of that age under one corpus just to keep the discussion simple and not too complicated. You understand me?

[@АрутАрутюнян-з8м]

Marc L. not everybody. The Spanish played flamenco, the italians played tarantella. Who you call Europe? Britain? France?

[@crispybaguette7388]

Plus 18th century isn't medieval time to me

[@georgewillems32]

There is a big difference between Europian medieval and 18th Century music.

[@MegaDavyk]

I can't believe this is where Cajun music started from, I'm glad those poor bastards got away and made some real music.

[@tymanung8058]

In 19th century these sorts of folk bands added popular foreign origin waltz mazurka polka schotische. galop contredanse quadrille etc to local styles like bouree. Some Central France here Auvergne and. Limousin in 1800s moved to Paris. In early 1900s they discovered accordion and abandoned bagpipes and hurdygurdys They then created the 20th century iconic world famous accordion style of waltz polka foxtrot tango etc These are evolutions that require some time. to develop.

[@festbloch4135]

Au vus des habits je pensais au départ que cette fette musicale historique etait une région proche de la vendée, ou du poitou. D'autant qu'on y voit une veuze plus typique de l'Ouest. Mais en y regardant en détail on y voit une affiche indiquant quelque chose à socourt. Donc on est dans les Vosges Entre Nancy et Epinal. Musique sympa. Habits qui me change des fest-noz de mon Finistere. Pas mal

[@marcolavoie7945]

J'ai cru que c'était des compatriotes québécois. Tout cet ensemble fait tellement Nouvelle-France.

[@Dibipable]

Marco. Ce sont là des costumes français de l’époque, donc forcément les mêmes que les immigrés français au Québec...

[@Dibipable]

Et les québécois ne sont pas nos compatriotes, ce sont nos cousins canadiens.

Who eles doin the packet for school🔥

[@celticbituitos4693]

EXCELLENT !!!

[@kitsiewr]

Just lovely ! Costumes add, and I love the solid tempo. Is this in French Canada or in France?

[@Dibipable]

It’s in France in Voges.

[@rolandscales9380]

The costumes are specific to the old provinces of Berry and Bourbonnais, in the centre of France.

[@dbadagna]

Very nice! It would be even better if the uploader would add a few words to the video description (explaining, for example, in which city/country this was filmed).

[@pluplucuv]

Please!! What's the name of the music?

[@5456thasmynumber]

not sure of the spelling but i think its called quadro? In the Caribbean it was brought over by the English, and the African slaves took it on with an African music style to create Mento! Yes, I was researching reggae and turn up here!

[@MegaDavyk]

Guts ace

[@Dibipable]

I don’t know but it’s french.

[@Dibipable]

It’s in Voges in east of France.

[@redburban1394]

Very cool boarder pipes

[@rolandscales9380]

Border pipes. Boarder pipes are the ones that the landlady won't allow after 8 o'clock in the evening.

[@safi-sultanbeyli7761]

I think it is North French folk music, because it has a lot of Celtic influence and I think that the southern French music would be more 'southern' like.

[@inkusquidusquid1673]

Looking at their clothes, they’re from western France like poitou or Vendée

[@Dibipable]

The traditional french musics are very varied, there are different traditional french musics and common traditional french musics in each french region. This is my playlist of best traditional french musics. m.kzbin.info/aero/PLl-vBK6H-4lGjIJ5vAzvo_FEB8Y2CbNWR

[@Dibipable]

It’s in east in Vosges.

* There are also traditional bagpipe of traditional musics of south of the France, the traditional spanish bagpipe, the traditional italian bagpipe, the traditional greek bagpipe, the traditional romanian bagpipe, the traditional armenian bagpipe, the traditional tunisian bagpipe, the traditional turkish bagpipe etc etc --> Gaida; zampogna; gaita; mezoued...

[@Horos101]

What is the name of the instruments with the cranks?

[@ElNinoBance]

They are a French type of hurdy gurdy, the "vielle à roue"

[@MegaDavyk]

@@ElNinoBance and the other main instrument was very homesick bagpipes. I can't believe this is where Cajun music started from, I'm glad those poor bastards got away and made some real music.

[@rolandscales9380]

@@MegaDavyk 'Homesick'? They're neither Scottish nor 'Celtic'. They've been knocking around most of Europe in one form or another for a millennium at least.

[@aragorn0988]

Does someone know the title of this music? or its potential cover by another band? (Or even the name of this band, I may be able to ask them directly)

[@m.o.w.richter]

it is a Gavotte from Guillaume Dumanoir (1615 - 1687), Leader of the "24 Violons du roi" (the first orchestra in music-history) under the reign of Louis XIV. He was also "roi des Violons of the parisiens "Ménestriers" (city musiciens). Some of his music has survived in the "Manuscrit de Cassel" (Murhardsche Bibliothek, Kassel Germany). So it is not real "traditional" or 18th century, but maybe some of old tunes are played over the centuries. Jordi Savall has made a recording of this music, but sadly not this piece. There is a very rare and old recording from the 50s "Les 24 Violons du roi" (L'Anthalogie Sonore String Orchestra) they have played this Gavotte.

[@gurgisjones1120]

Let's see: bagpipes, hurdy gurdys, and drums.

[@mikoformiko]

is that maxou playing the vielle a roue?

[@rolandscales9380]

Yep. That's him with the glasses and the white bandanna.

[@vel9762]

Sounds like video game music

[@unkut2095]

Exactly what I thought aha, kind of Cossacks' tune

[@kennethbrands3914]

Is the instrument with the wheel a hurdy gurdy, or something different?

[@GustaveIer]

Yep it’s a hurdy gurdy (in french vielle à roue)

[@gunnarthorsen]

I love the music, costumes, etc., but no one looks happy! Spectators just stand there with blank looks on their faces and the musicians look bored. Dance and laugh, people, dance and laugh! Maybe some good French wine is needed? :)

[@АрутАрутюнян-з8м]

Gunnar Thorsen Why? They are very happy. Perhaps you think in order to look happy people have to look like idiots from American movies?)))

[@tamanwar203]

Gunnar thorsen : French people are grumpy, it has always been like this XD

[@Tiberiotertio]

Then better not come to Europe, we don´t grin constantly like idiots

[@sharkstriker1]

They don’t look bored?? One side of my family is directly from Canada and though the cultures are different that’s one thing that I’ve noticed seems to be the same. More serious expressions and no fake or artificial obnoxious looking smiles. They’re watching intently but they certainly don’t look bored :)

[@ezekiel3791]

1:48 Girl in purple background. I bet conversation was something like: "Daddy, when we go home? I am bored." And daddy replied: "Be patient, they are almost done" xD

@Chant de l'Oignon I love Cajun music it is full of life.

[@kitsiewr]

Cajun music is great, but love this too. Aren't you ever in the mood for different types of music? If this is from French Canada, that is exactly where Cajuns came from. They were forcibly expelled from their homes in Acadie, many settled in Louisiana.
