My daughter's band. Very proud of her.

[@mcburnski]

So you should be. They have amazing voices.

Which one is she?

[@henryhowell6006]

This is one of my favorite bands!! Thanks for creating her!

[@HerodTheGreatBloodyMaster]

I came here because of the loveliness of Emily Ovenden, but I've even more mesmerized because the atmosphere of the music! Superlative!

[@mrcheg9046]

The singing here is absolutely marvellous. The music sounds as though it were pulled from the heart of Midgard itself, and the voices singing here are like that of godesses. This song truly serves as a reminder to all of native Europe's beauty.

[@Neilos-sd6ti]

More like olympus,

[@chadkuhn555]

We are in Midgard.

[@waynewalls5033]

They are truly astounding live. Saw them a few years ago at Leicester Cathedral, and before then at the Tabernacle in London, and both times were simply stunning, spellbinding, beautiful. Their talents know no bounds, quite simply these ladies are majestic. Their linguistic skills are mind blowing, and their voices are not of this world. Incredible performers and vocalists.

[@freestate208]

I used to listen to them on repeat while doing my physics homework in college, it's so relaxing.

[@earthestar]

I am always inspired and delighted with Mediaeval Baebes and the music that succumbs and resonates with the facets of the heart. I will never get enough.

[@beggindogs]

My fantasy obituary--Man overwhelmed by beauty, succumbs to song, found under pile of Baebes...:)

[@Nanyalin]

My head is about to explode from Beauty Overload. Amazing version of the classic, great stylization, amazing composition and, basically, an stunning display of talent. Bravo girls, bravissimo.

[@cuttlefisch]

They are just magnificent.

[@mr_selfdestrukt]

I saw Mediaeval Baebes back when they toured for "The Rose". Would love the chance to see them again, as it was a pretty amazing show.

[@JunipersGarden]

I'd love to sing in a group like this. Just beautiful.

[@zmetalangel]

I adore this group.

[@garrymcauley1768]

I've only just discovered these fine ladies and their fantastic singing, I'm looking to start collecting their albums, love this!

[@MightyAceCakes]

*Coughs in embarrassment* I saw the description and literally squealed out loud. My throat hurts now. These ladies always brighten my day and bring tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for bringing such beauty to my life.

[@hebiwarrior5775]

Wasn't able to sleep : too much things in my brain. But listening to this song made me so... Quiet, so peaceful.. Thank you a lot for this song !

[@FelixFelisis]

I love the dancing, so awesome!

[@gcanos]

Doesn't matter if they dance or not !!! Smile or not ... simply the song is PERFECT and relax your mind after a hard day work !! Please Mediaeval Baebes come to Mexico !!! I am a fan from you !!! Thanks wonderful ladies, beautiful and intelligence exist together thanks to you !! :D

[@waynewalls5033]

Goodness me, these fine ladies are supremely talented, with gorgeous voices, linguistically exquisite and beautiful. Seen them perform twice, each time was just sublime, wonderful and majestic.

You're spot on there. We forget our own culture in the UK.

[@byronsprophet]

seen you girls many years ago when i was a Medieval reenactor i think at Warwick or Tewkesbury, always beautiful everything

[@ResonanceX01]

Beautiful!! from Spain.

[@rajg1090]

how did I get here

[@jimalvess]

Beatuful girls, lovely voices.

[@medizan2228]

Since people don't seem aware: this song is in Latin, a more "modern" version of the Roman version. The lyrics sound beautiful until you realize what they are saying and you have a very harmonic dance of beauty and death- yes I mean death (there are several lines in which they directly talk about the subject of death.)

[@MadanaBhatKhandige]

Nonetheless, this music moves me very deeply!

[@Dino13]

The lyrics are beautiful once you see the true meaning. Death is beautiful, it has always been a source of inspiration for countless music, poems and tales.

[@alexlefay]

and just because its about Death suddenly its not beautiful?

[@ovDarkness]

Actually it's from medieval poetry. Adapted by Carl Orff in 30's in "Carmina Burana". Extremely slow and sad interpretation. I much prefer it as interpreted Qntal "Flamma". They nailed the spirit of this poem. Medieval Baebes are off on this one.

[@mic7able]

Medizan Yeah, aren't we all just so ignorant for not realising that this is an obscure Latin folk song....

[@MyelinProductions]

Veni, Veni Bella (Come, fairest, come) ~ Great Song and Arrangement. Thank you. Peace & Health

[@Allanon2007]

Simply wonderful. The clue is in the name, ie, Mediaeval, and that's what I love. I didn't like the foray into more modern sounding songs but all things mediaeval I love! Keep it up girls and PLEASE come back up north (north in this context being Lancashire/Cumbria) sometime soon.

I can't wait till September when they are in the US and at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.

[@jasonfenton8250]

If you like this, you'll probably like Miranda Sex Garden's album Madra. One of the members of Medieval Bæbes, Katharine Blake was in MSG. All of MSG's music is great, though Madra is the only one with a close sound to this as it's a collection of madrigal songs. The rest of MSG is post-punk music with madrigal influences which is actually really interesting in itself!
