Medieval Music vol.3 (1000-1450)

[@Imthereasonfordisabledcomments]

I owned an old record shop back in 1190 and, no word of a lie, Richard the Lionheart came into it one day. He said my vinyl collection was ' most impressive.'

[@intiorozco5063]

I find it hard to believe Richard the Lionheart would have visited a vinyl shop... Most likely he would have sent a servant. I suspect your story to be untrue.

[@mmvm562]

I happened to be there with my unicorn and witnessed the whole story

[@youbetyourwrasse]

Thank you my friend. It's like the spirit of mirth DIED between volumes

One of my favorite forms of music. It’s a pity that 99% of the people living at that time never heard it.

[@klausgh]

@Azhag Dark But, classical music was a few hundred years later?

[@florenna]

@alphamale3141 How can you possibly know that? As (assumedly) you didn't yourself live at that time...

[@benjaminhayes715]

@@florenna Because he's an alpha.Dont question it

[@AndrewB21]

@@florenna Yeah, I thought it was more a question of not being able to hear it very often, but at least a few of these pieces would have been street music performed at festivals and fairs, which people from both the towns and countryside would have attended and heard. Not very often, granted, but a few times a year at least. And it's not like it was likely to be outcompeted by some other kind of pop music. Regardless of what GoT might suggest, you weren't likely to run into Ed Sheeran on the road. When it came to music, this would have been what occupied everyone's heads.

[@anaseymour4556]

Another statement of people who don't actually know the history of the time, saying 99% of people didn't heard it is dumb... Like the person above me said, you would be able to hear music at different occasions, not everyday but you would hear at different times

Love especially the Laude Novella from 14.12 - listened to this and it took me in a deep slumber from my Royal Baronial Hall to some enchanted dreamlike land where men travelled in chariots that, yet without horse, travelled faster than a frightened mare, or descended deeper than the realms of demons into long tunnels where infernal machines whisked them to remote places of outer darkness; where from such places they would ascend in magic tubes of iron to travel across the known world and beyond, from castle to castle anywhere in just a day, or even to the Moon on flaming broomsticks they called 'rockets'. Such swords of glass and iron were lit not by sun but by tiny glass bottles that even common men stuck in the rafters to make light brighter than day all night. Such cities of swords, were then lit yet more by a terrible new sun that rose in the west, that burned hotter than a thousand thousand fires, for men possessed such terrible catapults of war that a single missile could destroy a city faster than a hundred armies. Suche lande doth, indeede existeth so say our deep forest sages, not in our time, but at some time maybe 1,000 years ago or perhaps a little less.

Very good stuff. A much welcome change from the regular classical I've been listening to for the past couple of weeks as background noise for book writing.

[@justforever96]

Yeah I started with classical too. Then old religious chants and hymns, then for some reason I decided to see if medieval Christmas was a thing. Honestly I expected to find a handful of known old carols and a bunch of regular Christmas tunes done with old instruments to sound "medieval". I was amazed at what I found and how good it was, and I was hooked.

I find it super interesting how messy it gets to differentiate Latin languages when you start to go too much back in time. Spanish and Portuguese get really weird really fast.

[@michaellombard894]

And Italian, as the most central Latin language, sounds not much different now than it did then. Most of the Romance languages from what I've read, started diverting from Latin around the 9th to 10th centuries.

[@leoprzytuac3660]

Abssolutely. I speak spanish and I could understand like 20% of it

[@Poodleinacan]

And French remains understandable, for the most part.

[@mariaangelesvillena8916]

The Cantigas are written in the early Medieval Galician variety of Galician-Portuguese, using Galician spelling; this was because of Galician-Portuguese being fashionable as a lyrical language in Castile at that time

[@mariaangelesvillena8916]

Todas las Cantigas están escritas en gallego-portugués porque el gallego-portugués era la lengua usada en las cortes peninsulares para el cultivo del género lírico. Alfonso X entendió que el gallego constituía, por su musicalidad o por sus rasgos específicos, el instrumento más adecuado para componer su poesía.

[@bjornfuchs1882]

Great Work

[@arbrekim1352]

quelle curiosite!

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

Are there any other Pre-Christian European Cultures Music Traditions that were somewhat preserved other than those of The Norse? I imagine at least some Slavic Ones. Love the compilation though,having an eye into really anything from that time is fascinating.

[@samwill5]

I am a huge fan of English culture (as well as the other ones on the British Isles) so I am not too surprised the English medieval music turned out to be my favourite too, but still, it's interesting England has had art to my liking every since the middle ages (and more possibly, if it was preserved). Especially the songs in your Vol. 2 were great, Estampie is my least favourite of the three I've listened so far on your compilations but still I enjoy it so much more than most of the songs. Though I love French, the French songs are a bit sombre for my taste whereas the English songs sound catchy, cheerful, have nice varied melodies and rhythm etc. Sure there will be lots of songs that go against what I've writtenfor each country but the more famous of the preserved ones definitely seem to lean more towards the tendencies I've written. The Hungarian song here is great too! Ok... by the time I got here, writing this comment, France proved me right that there must be songs more to my taste from there too as the song near the end of this video is exactly the kind of sound I love (Seignor, sachies...) ! Finally a cheerful one from my beloved France!

[@Amadeu.Macedo]

It's amazing that such lovely melodies were composed during one of the most brutal epochs of the Western World's History, not to mention the horrors caused by the Bubonic Plague circa 1348. ///// É incrível que essas melodias maravilhosas tenha sido composta durante uma das épocas mais brutais da história do mundo ocidental, sem mencionar os horrores causados pela peste bubônica por volta de 1348.///// Il est étonnant que de si belles mélodies aient été composées au cours d'une des époques les plus brutales de l'histoire du monde occidental, sans parler des horreurs causées par la peste bubonique vers 1348.

Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction :)

It's so majestic and complex! I first though it was sort of Gaudiya Medieval kirtan of Caitanya tradition with mridangas, tabla, karatals, ektara; strong tala, karuna and virya ragas!

All we have are forms of modern interpretation. Not in the "We don't have a recording of it" sense, but in many cases we don't even write music in the same way anymore, so we rely on "translations" of the musics. Sometimes we have to translate them more than once even. Like with ancient text, there are musical "dead languages" and our musical theory is pretty recent.
