Chevalier Mult Estes Guariz - French Crusader Song

Arrangement and vocals by Farya Faraji. This one is effectively a Medieval propaganda song from 1145, composed as a means to motivate men to join in the Second Crusade, led in France by Louis VII, in response to the fall of the Fortress of Edessa in 1144, which sees the Pope Eugene III launching the Crusade. The song was found in the Codex Amplonianus 8 ° 32, manuscript in Germany, and given the language used, it seems to have been copied by an Anglo-Normand.
The arrangement, as far as my intent is concerned, is meant to be entirely historically accurate, and therefore showcases the highly heterophonic and melodic nature of European Medieval music, without any of the modern accoutrements of chords and harmony. The instrumentation consists of a Greek lavta standing in for a Medieval lute (they were effectively the same instrument in the broad strokes, a flute, fidule and hammered dulcimer.) I especially wanted the vocals to be historically accurate, and they reflect the well documented reality of Medieval singing being very different from its usual depiction in most modern performances, which use an anachronistic, modern conservatory style of singing: clear, fully diatonic singing with almost no pitch inflection, rapid changes or sudden articulation; typical "Western" sounding singing to our modern ears. Western European medieval singing however was far closer to Balkanic, Andalusian or Middle-Eastern practice, full of ornamentation, micro-tonal inflections, trills and pulsating sounds, see my video where I explain this aspect in more detail: • The Medieval European ...
The pronunciation however is bound to be inaccurate in many parts: I could find very little resources for Old French pronunciation, and therefore followed that used in most renditions such as Jordi Savall's, I however cannot confirm their own accuracy in terms of pronunciation, so this may be a case of the blind leading the blind. Generally however, Old French was far closer to what we would think of as a typical Romance-language pronunciation, and sounded very different from today's French pronunciation:
Lyrics in Old French:
Chevalier, mult estes guariz,
Quant Deu a vus fait sa clamur
Des Turs e des Amoraviz,
Ki li unt fait tels deshenors.
Cher a tort unt ses fîeuz saiziz;
Bien en devums aveir dolur,
Cher la fud Deu primes servi
E reconnu pur segnuur.
Ki ore irat od Loovis
Ja mar d’enfern avrat pouur,
Char s’aime en iert en pareïs
Od les angles nostre Segnor.
Pris est Rohais, ben le savez,
Dunt crestiens sunt esmaiez,
Les mustiers ars e désertez:
Deus ni est mais sacrifiez.
Chivalers, cher vus purpensez,
Vus ki d’armes estes preisez;
A celui voz cors présentez
Ki pur vus fut en cruiz drecez.
Pernez essample a Lodevis,
Ki plus ad que vus nen avez:
Riches est e poesteïz,
Sur tuz altres reis curunez:
Déguerpit ad e vair e gris,
Chastels e viles e citez:
Il est turnez a icelui
Ki pur nus fut en croiz penez.
Deus ad un turnei enpris
Entre Enfern e Pareïs,
Si mande trestuz ses amis
Ki lui volent guarantir
Qu’il ne li seient failliz,
Le Filz Deus al Creatur
A Rohais estre ad mis un jorn.
La serunt salf li pecceür!
Alum conquere Moïses,
Ki gist el munt de Sinaï;
A Saragins nel laisum mais,
Ne la verge dunt il partid
La Roge mer tut ad un fais,
Quant le grant pople le seguit;
E Pharaon revint après:
Il e li suon furent périt.
English translation:
Knight, your salvation is much more likely,
When you have heard the clamor of God.
For the Turks and Almoravids,
Have greatly dishonored Him.
Unjustly they have seized His fiefs;
For this we must feel deep pain,
Since there God was first served,
And recognized as Lord.
Whoever goes now with King Louis,
Should not fear the sea of Hell,
For his soul will go to Paradise,
With the Angels and Our Lord.
Rohais was taken, as you know,
And Christians are discouraged,
Monasteries were burned and deserted:
God's sacrifice is no longer offered there.
Knight, consider this carefully,
You, who are skilled in the use of arms,
Offer your heart to Him,
Who was placed on the Cross for you.
Whoever goes now with King Louis,
Should not fear the sea of Hell,
For his soul will go to Paradise,
With the Angels and Our Lord.
Let us re-conquer the land of Moses,
Who camped on Mount Sinai;
Let us never allow Saracen hands,
To grasp the rod he used to separate,
The Red Sea's waves with just one act,
As a great multitude followed him;
And when the Pharaoh came after them,
He and his cohorts perished there.
Whoever goes now with King Louis,
Should not fear the sea of Hell,
For his soul will go to Paradise,
With the Angels and Our Lord.

I feel like I've heard you sing this before, but I know you haven't. But its one of those things that I can say feel like you were meant to be singing it. I think you'd also do a kickass rendition of something like Le Rois Louis. Keep the tunes coming in time for when I get u some ghormeh sabzi.

Thanks man! I kind of did le Roi Louis, but not the version most people are used to. The popular version is modern lyrics written about the crusades by the Choeur de la Joyeuse Garde in the modern day, but the melody is from a 1600’s love ballad called La Fille au Roy Louis; that’s the one I covered :)

[@Apistoleon]

Thank you Farya. Medieval French and Occitan melismatic singing have big similarity to Eastern Mediterranean style singing, including the instrument you used, since Western civilization was born from Eastern Mediterranean region and Mesopotamia. Eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamia are the ancient Western civilization. We have to honor our ancient creator civilizations and their people originating from those civilizations today, instead of creating superficial cultural segregation.

[@justinianthegreat1444]

No bro, western civilization is born out of Christianity, The Roman Empire, and the Germanic kingdoms not those eastern civilizations

[@al.5333]

@@justinianthegreat1444 Thats just ignorant. It is fairly common knowledge that the success of the Roman civilization is owed to its great capability to adapt and assimilate from OTHER cultures. The Legions were inspired by Greek formations, Gallic, Germanic, North African and Parthian equipment, middle eastern leadership doctrines, Egyptian traditions of combined arms tactics, list continues. Roman architecture, philosophy, statesmanship and literature as well as elementary scientific knowledge was almost entirely adapted from Greece, who in turn took most from the Persians (who took it from the Mesopotamians, Babylonians etc.). Egyptian culture became so influential in the Roman empire the goddess Isis was integrated into the main Pantheon. Most of the aforementioned cultures adapted what they could from the truly ancient civilizations of the middle east. Christianity on the other hand borrowed everything it deemed useful from older religions....and then condemned the rest. It didn't really contribute anything to civilization, on the contrary, it often did its best to eradicate all achievements of pagan cultures wherever it was spread. Someone who named himself after Justinian, the final codifier of Roman law, would better be aware that the Christian church almost wiped out said Roman Law, with the exception of fracturs that were adopted as Canonical law and what found its way into the common law systems of the migrating tribes. If not for the recovery of Roman law though the first European universities, this would have been a critical loss to "western civilization", as all modern civil law systems are based on Roman law,
