During the 14th and 15th centuries England witnessed an explosion of written poetic output in the vernacular, the lyrics of which were intimately bound to music. Sadly, only a handful of poems have survived 'intact'; in the spirit of reconstruction, The Dufay Collective join forces with Voice to perform extant songs and instrumental adaptations as well as poetry set to adapted/original melodies by director William Lyons, also including a selection of rare surviving instrumental dances.
I don't know what the climate of your summer is like, but here in the Alps the clouds break on the tall trees of the mountains, it often rains and it is really cool and I, who love this climate that reminds me so much of that of Albion, can only listen to this beautiful record.
Have a good listening!

[@Fuerwahrhalunke]

The earlier the period, the more I as a German can still understand the language without having to mix in English.

[@CaballeroMedieval]

En parte el idioma inglés deriva del alto alemán.

[@Fuerwahrhalunke]

@@CaballeroMedieval It has modern high German words in the language, yes, but the language itself is heavily influenced by high middle german. Fun fact: Old letters in America had the sentence structure we have in Germany. Maybe because the largest group of immigrants were once Germans.

[@marianoiriberri586]

Mi apellido vasco iriberri significa pueblo nuevo ,en español .no es extraño el nombre berri en inglés aunque los filólogos tienen argumentos de que los vascos no son indoeuropeos

[@Steampunksaly]

Yah. Me also!

[@ericthegreat7805]

@@Fuerwahrhalunke also even in england i noticed some texts used to capitalize all the nouns like German does. Though this might be primarily during the Hanoverian period right before and during the American revolution when UK was in personal union with Hanover.

Does anyone know the name of the piece that starts around 1:02:32? It is heavenly! The playlist listed doesn't seem to coincide with a vocal piece like that.

[@MsLeenite]

I did a bit of sleuthing on Amazon and Google: It's the Corpus Christi Carol (track #19). There are a few performance videos of it on KZbin. Apparently Benjamin Britten made an arrangement of it that's very popular. And I agree - it's really quite lovely.

what are the instruments? harps ?

[@wiltonstubbs6989]

You must upload the messe de nostre dame by the ever masterful guilliam machaut. It is widely considered a masterpiece of the Middle Ages and any good medieval music channel should have it uploaded. I recommend diabolus in musicas performance even though their name is based on an outdated myth about the interval of a tritone it is a very beautiful performance.
