Tourdion lyrics
Quand je bois du vin clairet Ami tout tourne, tourne, tourne, tourne. Aussi désormais je bois Anjou ou Arbois. Chantons et buvons, à ce flacon faisons la guerre, Chantons et buvons, les amis, buvons donc! Le bon vin nous a rendu gais, Chantons oublions nos peines, chantons. Buvons bien, là buvons donc A ce flacon faisons la guerre. Buvons bien, là buvons donc Ami, trinquons, gaiement chantons. Buvons bien, buvons mes amis, Trinquons, buvons vidons nos verres. Buvons bien, buvons mes amis, Trinquons, buvons gaiement chantons. Altus, Tenor & Bassus: En mangeant d'un gras jambon, à ce flacon faisons la guerre

Again the same mystical experience through Medieval European music😊

Thanks for the comment! Yes, mediaeval music is such a rich source of wonderful music. I'm glad you liked it!

It’s not medieval music, it’s the Capriol Suite written in the 20th century by Peter Warlock

[@michaelwebb7492]

Thanks for making the point. Yes, the first tune is indeed the "Bass dance" from Warlock's Capriol Suite, and most people are aware of it from this source. However, Warlock based his version on a dance tune from Arbeau’s Orchésographie’ of 1558.

Bands to check out then - Covas Corax, Mince Pye, Wolgamot, Cantiga. The book "A Medieval Traveler's Guide" by Ian Mortimer and "The worst Jobs in History" by Terry Jones might interest you.

[@OstrogothRome]

@@MichaelLevine-n6y 536 wasn't a great year either. The year without a Summer. If you really want the full skinny, ask a Byzantine guy called Procopius.

Há um encantamento nessas melodias, nos instrumentos utilizados. É, para mim, uma mescla de alegria e melancolia a um só tempo.

[@michaelwebb7492]

¡Gracias! Sí, estoy de acuerdo, alegría y melancolía mezcladas. Esto es lo que me encanta de la música antigua.

This is from 1530 also not Mediaeval In general, the Middle Ages covers the years 1000-1500 AD and is mainly divided into two phases: the Early Middle Ages and the High Middle Ages. The Middle Ages are often divided into five phases: the Early Middle Ages, the High Middle Ages, the Late Middle Ages, the Renaissance and then the Modern Period. 1250 to 1500, in German studies also 1250 to 1450). It represents the final phase of the Middle Ages, which is followed by the early modern period.

[@michaelwebb7492]

Thanks, I agree that the term "mediaeval" is sometimes used too loosely. Mea culpa!

All cultures have a similar music, like this, je je.

[@a415lover]

Well, it's Renaissance not medieval (Warlock himself said his 20th century suite was based on renaissance dances). Also don't think Attaignant published this when he was 5 years old

[@tolgakarabykoglu6429]

Now which one is a kind of cover, "Play minstrel play" of Blackmore's Night or this one???

Medieval Times, you could barely blink your eyes without being charged with a crime. 476-1450 were the Dark Ages.

[@MarcLeonbacher-lb2oe]

???

[@MarcLeonbacher-lb2oe]

If you were German, I would recommend you @Geschichtsfenster for learning some truths instead of weird prejudices. "Harald Müller: Mittelalter" (a book by our Professor for medieval history at the RWTH in Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle)) gives very good scientific information and introduction. Sadly, I personally don't know anything about conparable publications in English.

[@yolandajohnson8685]

the medieval times were very dark & gloomy

[@nistormihai9622]

Medievar era was the ugly part of humanity

[@PercyBlakeShelley]

No, this is a great fake. In Spain, the periodist Juan Manuel de Prada say the true about Middle Age. For example "La oscura Edad Media" of this author.

[@irenejohnston6802]

21st century is the worst, global corruption, warmongering, plastic, pesticides, creatures losing their natural habitat, exploited etc. UK

[@MaverickSeventySeven]

Of course you are a world expert on the subject.

[@PercyBlakeShelley]

​@@irenejohnston6802Yes, the medieval age is very better, we will back to the (christian) tradition.

[@alexandrenicolier5925]

Oof even for a non native english speaker like me, "medievar" hurts.
