As Vesta was from Latmos hill descending - Weelkes

[@Punk13405]

So how many of you are watching this because you have a music history exam coming up? I know I am

[@fiscalcpiano]

+Brad Grimm this is a work of genius, hopefully the demands of the class don't detract from this

[@Caillouteletub123]

Yep, to examine figuralism in Renaissance's madrigals.

[@Cottagefries]

omg I do, I am so stressed out right now it's due tomorrow and I just started.....

*Lyrics* As Vesta was from Latmos hill descending She spied a maiden Queen the same ascending Attended on by all the shepherds' swain To whom Diana's darlings came running down amain First two by two, then three by three together Leaving their goddess all alone hasted thither; And mingling with the shepherds of her train With mirthful tunes her presence entertain Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana Long live fair Oriana!

Same dude! I do more work for music appreciation than for calc! And I'd rather do calc. Though I did learn who is responsible for sopranos always singing the melody. That darn John Dunstable :(

Yo, are you a DMACC student?

[@cameronwilson654]

i love how many music appreciation students are in here

[@faithaeternum1912]

Very different, but amazing. I love how when they're singing "Descending" their voices are getting lower, "ascending" their voices are going higher and when they're singing "two by two" two people are singing, "three by three" three people are singing and "together" all of them are singing. Very clever! Love this! :)

[@christinaszi1564]

I listened this for my Intro to Western Music class and thats what composers did in that era. When madrigals developed composers utilized "word-painting" and made the music "sound" like the words

[@Emma-ob5oj]

And "all alone" ;)

[@ninjaassassin27]

Yes, text painting is a unique and crucial part of vocal writing, which was thoroughly mastered by the old composers.

[@graziacavasino8884]

This is a technique called "madrigalism".

[@NoahJohnson1810]

Listening for music history class haha

[@milton3204]

ay me too

[@NoahJohnson1810]

Milton Now we are past Postmodern music. From John Cage's 4'33 and prepared piano sonatas to people making guttural noises to electronic squiggles and zaps. My goodness what a change since this. :(

[@whovianinthehizzayy]

Curse this song. I had to listen to it for my music appreciation class and it stuck with me. It's so beautiful. Damn it.

[@whovianinthehizzayy]

And I love you, random citizen!

[@bluezinnia50]

You might want to get used to it...I sang this for the first time when I was 11, and still love it at 68. That's some musical staying-power. :)

[@randomuser1208]

It’s almost impossible to consider that these incredible artists were able to perform and record this piece all the way back in the 1500’s for us to listen to it now on KZbin. Wow.

[@thomasmiles9068]

Impossible is the word - I think you'll find it wasn't actually recorded in the 1500s..............

[@randomuser1208]

@@thomasmiles9068 just a joke man; but I appreciate the concern ;)

[@yuk_notkim7658]

So many people come from music appreciation or some type of exam, while I'm just here listening to secular music from the Renaissance period because why not

[@GroundTurkey]

All alone, and then only one voice. My favorite part. #WordPainting #MusicAppreciationBroughtMeHere.

[@edong1127]

I have never heard of this music and it sounds like everything is in the wrong place but the longer I hear it the more beautiful it becomes and everything falls perfectly into place and beautiful harmony is formed. Thank you for resting my ears.😁

[@ZoeBush]

When you are crash studying for Music Appreceation and your test is in 10 hours. Thanks Dr.Cooper.

[@TedMackey]

Just in case your mind wasn't already blown by this amazing work, the bass part to the line 'long live fair Oriana' is in fact an augmentation of the melody the other parts are singing :)

[@williamstratton3126]

Thank god youtube exists. So I can listen to this instead of spending 200 dollars on a CD set with these songs on them for music appreciation for my COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR. This was by far my most expensive textbook. Absolute bullshit

[@emmabergeron2057]

Gotta love music appreciation

[@strugglingcollegestudent]

Writing this so I remember for my test. Weelkes uses word painting throughout this piece. For example, the words “descending” and “running down” inspired a plunging leap or falling, scale-like melody; “ascending” is accompanied by a rising line. Sometimes the text literally prompts the musical response.

[@kirlajohn5136]

Thank you😂

[@Xuejinyuan]

Jokes on you guys. After listening to it in class, I LIKED IT! I know...shocking.

[@BidetToYou]

The sheet is in Bb, but the recording is in Gb. Confusing!

[@HarringtonTribal]

It's really weird to see the sheet music in the original key and hear it sung in a much lower key. (Another good recording is the Cambridge Singers at Ely Cathedral or the Oxford Camerata.)

[@NineWhileNine]

The best rendition of this masterpiece I’ve ever heard 🤩

[@morphthing1]

Yes, on CPDL.org....but is it seriously so difficult to maybe google 'Haec Dies Byrd Sheet Music' and click on the very first link??
