Epos: Music of the Carolingian Era - Cantilena Antiqua, Stefano Albarello dir.

[@halflifeger4179]

Yes, more early medieval stuff!! Such an underrated and oft-misunderstood era

[@jamesa901]

Yes. This was the era where the foundations of Western Music were being developed and established. Very interesting to deep dive into the muscial structure.

[@scathatch]

The sublime minimalism of this music. The purity of tones of the lyre, flute and voice. A perfect early morning antidote to the cacophonous and crass raucous of todays world.

옛날사람들은 감정이 풍부하지 않았어요서울 그래서 0으로 아무것이 없이 있거나 별마음이 많이 없어서 이런 음악 들음 최대의 옛날사람 아름다운 마음의 영혼끌어올리기로 느껴지더서울라고요; 요즘 음악은 풍부하고 감성이 많이 극채롭고 풍요로운데 이조 반조많고 곡이 적고 멜로디가 안풍부한데 그당시는 많은 아름다움 끌어보려 애쓴 그런 마음이 느껴집니다. 고대음악 중세음악 즐기시면 그냥 학자시겠지만 학자분들 마음과 속내는 은근 예술가랑 다르셔서서울 감정이 많이 죽고 차가우셔서 이런 사랑들과 유사하다고 생각들어요 같은유사김장유사서울로 듣고계실수도있겠죠 교수님^^ 잘지내시고 아이스크림드세욧❤

I travel back in time, seated at the table with my grandfather of old, Carolus Magnus, and grandmother, Empress Hildegard, enjoying this lovely, mellifluous music. Ah, if only but for a moment, just to see what it was like. Thank you for sharing this.

[@mikesaridakis]

The CD has some notes that provide wonderful context to these songs: " The Carolingian era marks an important moment in the history of early medieval Latin lyrical poetry and medieval music. The Carolingian revival was fundamental to the rehabilitation of the classical tradition, which had been neglected during a barbarous period, as it combined elements from the classical and patristic traditions to lay the foundations of a new culture. This rediscovery of Latin classicism by way of the Hellenic culture blended major contributions from the Byzantine and Oriental cultures with those of the Anglo-Celtic world, from which came notably Alcuin of York, who reorganised the Church; but it also integrated important contributions of intellectuals from the Mediterrenean area such as Teodulf, Paulinus of Aquileia and the Lombard Paul the Deacon. The results of this revival are apparently all represented in the manuscript Lat. 1154, now in Paris, which can be considered a testamentary compilation of the Carolingian culture. It was written around the end of the ninth and the beginning of the tenth century. In this manuscript are preserved, among many others, a series of compositions which report historical facts about this dynasty, represent an important epic and elegiac heritage from before the year one thousand. We found it quite extraordinary that some of these poems are linked to a musical score (typical Aquitanian neumes). Even if it is only a small one, this collection of cantos represents an important 'repertoire' from that time; it includes moral, epic and convivial writings even by classical authors such as Horace, Virgil and Boethius. It is hardly surprising that the Carolingian dynasty should have furthered the revaluation of the latter philosopher and his work, above all the 'De philosophiae consolatione', from which the verses of two of the compositions recorded here are drawn. A truly remarkable event has been the discovery in a manuscript of the Biblioteca Laurenziana in Florence of various fragments of the Aeneid linked to musical notation; they are precious evidence of the practice of singing the verses of this monumental work. With regard to the contemporary poets, we come across Gottschalk of Orbais, a theologian and poet born in Saxony. He entered the monastery of Fulda, under abbot Rabanus Maurus, who had been educated at the school of Alcuin. However, disgraced after being accused of heresy, Gottschalk was expelled from the monastery and exiled. In in his song (Ut quid iubes pustole) he clearly expresses his deep distress about the exile, with perhaps a dedication to his friend Walfridus Strabo. Another writer in this anthology is Angilbert, of Frankish stock, who was educated at Charlemagre's court, where he met Alcuin and Paulinus of Aquileia. He proved to be an excellent diplomat, and was sent by Charlemagne as an emissary to the Pope. He had two children with Bertha, the daughter of Charlemagne, who protected this illegitimate relationship. Perhaps because of Alcuin's insistent disapproval, Angilbert eventually renounced worldly life and went on to become a Lay Abbot at Saint-Riquier. While at Charlemagne's court, Angilbert was so successful as a poet that he was given the nickname of Homer. The poem The Battle of Fontenoy is attributed to him (in one verse he names himself as the author), and some also assign the 'Planctus de obitu Karoli' (Lament on the Death of Charlemagne) to him , but this last is controversial, as the author may also be an anonymous Italian poet, perhaps from Bobbio, given that one of the last stanzas mentions the deeply venerated Saint Columban, who had founded an important monastery, precisely in Bobbio. It also has to be stressed that the Planctus Karoli of Lat. 1154 follows an arrangement of verses and melody that differs from that of the other poems with a hymnic musical structure, and in which the A melody is dedicated to the lines of the first two stanzas, and the B melody, to those of the following stanzas. As to the lines which in other sources always alternate with the inserted line 'heu mihi misero', they alternate in our manuscript with the A melody rendering the line 'heu dolens plango', which generates a more complex and fuller structure. Moreover, compared to the other sources, the original text is reduced by many lines. In general it must be said that these are not purely musical manuscripts, the notation clearly being a later addition to the literary texts. This gives rise to questions about the normal practice and performance possibilities of these poems (maybe simple exercises in style?). The notation is mostly (in our opinion) an attempt at diastematic writing in Ms. Lat. 1154, while the Aeneid still follows the linear adiastematic tradition. We believe that this illustrates the stage of experimentation and development musical writing was going through at the time. We therefore considered it to be possible to reinterpret these melodies, providing we followed a methodology in accordance with the rules of the time. Even the instrumentation is dictated by the organological and archeological sources. As a matter of priority it was necessary to reconstruct the lyra on the basis of the models found in Germany and England or of the cythara of Roman tradition. These are all instruments referred to by the eminent music theorist of the time, Hucbald, and also mentioned in contemporary songs (such as 'lam dulcis amica venito' and 'Aurea personet lyra'). 2009 © Stefano Albarello Translation: Chris Cartwrigt"
