Italian Lute Music of the Renaissance (c.1535 - after 1600)

[@minimalambience]

its a shame at how many people in todays world will go without appreciating music like this. and even the history, better yet. as someone who listens to all kinds of music, mainly metal, music like this just satisfies that musical craving other genres cant fill.

[@caelestii5295]

Agreed entirely. When I listen to modern music, it usually is soft rock or disco from the 70s. Occasionally classic country, bluegrass, vaporwave, 90s melodic death metal, and 80s pop. But this music, and ancient Greek, Roman, and Sumerian music, I find myself enjoying more often than not these days.

Holy words. Greetings from Italy

[@AcidGames1]

Takes me to another world listening to this takes all of my stress away..

[@klippdachs]

This music is wonderful as is the performance! Thanks a lot for posting.

[@peterstephens733]

Your mind is transported through time to another world.You sit and listen but you are travelling

[@sheerabetnag]

great music, nostalgic!

[@edwardcarberry1095]

I suspect that the 7.83 Hz Schumann resonance is why I find this musique soooo relaxing! Where 440 Hz by design is irritating.

[@Lufiend]

Nice picture in the video, but he's not Italian. It's a painting of William I, Prince of Orange, leader of the Dutch rebellion against Spanish Hapsburg rule, assassinated in 1584. The painting is by Adriaen Thomasz. Key, and is in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Michel van der Hoek Baia baia, um 100tifiko xddd

[@gian9967]

Thank you :)

[@Sorguitar91]

Wonderful!!! What a beautiful music!!!

[@RudolfBuirma]

Why is there a picture of "Vader des Vaderlands", Willem de Zwijger on a Italian Lute Music video? Don't get me wrong, I love the painting, I love the music, heck I love the combination. But it somehow lacks relevance... Or I'm just so damn Dutch that I can't imagine any other song but "Het Wilhelmus" when I see that face.

[@manuelvalle2409]

me too, but from the other side

[@Seagull780]

That's not Dutch enough, I hear "Het Wilhelmus", "Wien Neêrlands bloed" and "Merck toch hoe Sterck" all being played at the same time at a ridiculous volume.

[@gdemarneffe1]

ravissant, musique peut-être sans prétention mais extrêmement agréable à écouter. La qualité du musicien y est pour beaucoup, car la même partition peut être ennuyeuse. Merci pour ce joli moment

[@KyleJDurrantAuthor]

5 dislikes? Clearly those people snapped their lute strings attempting these masterpieces

[@Guinizelli777]

Fabulous lute music!

[@Harambe2016]

Guillaume le Taciturne was this Prince on the painting called, i.o.w. Willem de Zwijger.More or less the founder of the Netherlands

[@paulcaswell2813]

7.33 - a setting of a lovely French children's song.

[@WeirdGirl_14]

I like this music! It sounds nice~ ^-^ Renaissance music (along with other music I won't list to save time) will always sound nice to me~ ^-^

[@labananiere]

Bob je découvre encore un bon, un bon du passé. Musique enchanteresse, d'extreme beauté

[@DCdabest]

He was a man of few words it's said!

[@313BulGarYa]

We all related to each other in some way. Our ancestors liked to have children out of wedlock. Especially Blue Blood Royals. I just find surprising the picture of Protestant William I. of Orange in dominantly Italian music video. Though, well, Italy was home for Flemish-Burgundian school of musicians at the beginning of the 15th century.

[@ItalianoMaker]

Italian Music!

[@gian9967]

I live in Mantova, Village of Gonzaga family. This music reminds me at these times

[@MegaMoviemaven]

That's awesome!!!!

[@peterluth]

Ragossnig is a guitarist and his lute playing is full of "guitar feeling". It is not filologically correct but is musically stirring and moving. Great artist!

[@maxxam2774]

Italian art is unbeatable!

[@TIEMBLEN.ZurdoDM]

Excelente música gracias por compartir algo tan antiguo

[@chamaleon1963]

@Jounazs grazie per aver condiviso il tuo profondo pensiero.

[@mor4665]

Only 90's kids will remember this

[@intigfx]

+ძყ 21 1590's kids?

[@dragonjohn8810]

ძყ 21 yeah i miss when we climb and jump to some bush..only 1400-1500 kid will understand

[@Stichting_NoFa-p]

you did it wrong

[@pugliesina89]

Thank u so much! I'm an italian girl. ;)

[@LucasvanMiddendorp]

William of Orange

[@fidelamoah9115]

nice to know music from that era inspired that of modern music. must say, this genre of music is rather relaxing too :)

[@nikkicoury2793]

That's cool!

[@rikremmerswaal2756]

I do find it funny that a video called "Italian Lute Music" has a thumbnail picture of the most famous Dutchman of all time on it.

[@Cloudlesssoul]

Well done.

[@manuelsateler2316]

Su simplesa e ingenuidad la hacen autentica y bella, una mirada placida a una realidad perdida en el tiempo.

[@colinhazell6259]

Marvellous!

[@Miabia1000]

i really enjoyed the first song....

[@SantiagoGarcia-od5gr]

Encantadora y bella tonada renacentista.Qué virtuosamente está interpretado el laud.

[@MrRobertarobert04]

stupenda

[@Bravinsky]

Great!

[@rosseboom]

prince william of orange never did set sail to the new world he was kild in the city of Delft

[@elablessed8838]

Yes, amen, I have to agree with you. Tha Paciolian & da Vincian times are quite wonderful. Who wouldn’t value Lute music? Especially at the lunch hour. I greatly appreciate your posting. Lord knows… it meant a difference for me. In closing, I wonder… if you… would say that these enlightened tunes, i.e. productions are the forefunner of (color) TV, which happens to have its roots here in the US?

[@iAshwell]

listened to all of it :P

[@theodalf5340]

this is the music they used in mount and blade!

[@saint_gales]

no

❤❤❤❤❤

[@kelicristina7478]

Maravilhoso!

[@DavidRNAU]

A painting of a Dutchman for Italian lute music??????

[@carlinoaltoviti6736]

Well, maybe an Alessandro Farnese's picture , the Duke of Parma , was more appropiate.

[@analiamariselblas7169]

me encanta esta cancion :3

[@euseperez4263]

[@AndryIsHere]

Italy

[@VivaldiLucio]

Yeah! GODLIKE...

[@jaineferreira3906]

é um toquinho bem afinado em !

[@blancakamp3138]

This is a portrait of William The Silent - is it not..?

[@Linkage1992]

Assuming she's about 20 (going off the pic in her profile), each generation would have to have a gap of 51 years, which is extremely unlikely. Possible, yes, but unlikely.

[@Jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

@JaxxWiinkler Nice! Hail to you, Jaxx Winkler of Orange! lol

[@TaureDawn]

This is very nice but who is the musician/artist playing this? I feel like I'm sitting next to a bard....

[@robbieholter1432]

Not gonna dislike the whole page, but the music, well, I like the more drunken merry of old irish music

[@hermanmaze4759]

Robbie Holter look up folk irish medieval music or lute

[@TheEvilestPersonEver]

@Jounazs You think that. Other people, like me, like it.

[@daniewl1]

Thumbs up if you came to this from Kesha-DieYoung Instrumental version. rom Kesha-DieYoung Instrumental version.

[@SantiagoGarcia-od5gr]

Me guataría saber quienes son los intérpretes.Lo hacen maravillosamente.

[@yugyuih]

I think this William of Orange died in 1584 - maybe an earlier ancestor of yours as you don't seem to include sufficient "greats". He certainly seems to be in Elizabethan costume.

[@Stichting_NoFa-p]

The picture is of the Dutch king... lol

[@Linkage1992]

I think you might need to add a few more greats there.

[@VenlonianPictures]

William of Orange :)

[@mad0racle771]

omg, that's priceless

[@cameltoe9184]

its like 6 greats for 500 years? he put seven

Yep, that's it, I was born in the wrong era...

[@natesharpejr1742]

Or deeply in touch with a past life

[@Stichting_NoFa-p]

You don't want to live in that era, you don't know what you're talking about.

[@MrFloppyFlute]

[@Amozmusicmaker]
