My Most Historically Accurate Song Yet

[@pistachioboat]

The lord farquaad quote 😭😂

[@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation]

S-tier

[@paloma4444]

what is it?

[@JanneBernards]

@@paloma4444 The first voice sample. He's the villain from Shrek.

[@theevermind]

The _A Night at the Roxbury_ head bobbing.

[@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t]

Really adds to the authenticity. I loved the documentary series about the life of Shrek.

[@reklewt7289]

I read the description thinking that this is gonna be totally serious and then Lord Farquad dropped an absolute BAR and it was fantastic 😂

[@theevermind]

TBH, that line is one of the most historically accurate in movie history.

[@ScienceDiscoverer]

@@theevermind That's what every politician says when starting a war.

[@BeatPeet]

As an armchair historian, I have to say that a more accurate instrument for this particular time frame would be a Moog System 55. Peasants would repurpose hoes and tills to create the filters and oscillators needed for that type of synthesizer. Hope that helps!

[@Hildegardvonblingin]

I’m taking notes, thank you so much!

[@dm9910]

Why should I believe you? I don't see what any of this has to do with the history of armchairs, this is completely outside of your field of expertise

[@slowbro1337]

I love op's comment😂 My kinda peep. Talking synths and funny

[@supercellex4D]

bach, colorized

[@tiredgoblinboi]

@@dm9910 laughed a little too hard at this

[@Stryder467]

What a delectable treat for April 1st, the day of fools. Of course I remember the disco ball hanging above mine tavern in the days of glory. Fantástico!

[@lonestarr1490]

The groovy days of yore!

[@CrystalNibarger]

Its awesome

[@misssmith7225]

Oh goodness. She got me! Thanks for your heads up and date reminder. I was so confused.

[@Stryder467]

Ha hah, glad I could help!

[@error00001]

didn't realize synths were that old but I trust you

[@frangrowl9012]

They were already being used in the historical drama documentary Lady Hawke ;)

[@七百七十七]

Even though it's April Fools, this still sounds so cool! I dunno how you made it sound simultaneously techno & medieval

[@MossyMozart]

@jacobweeks777 - Yea, verily, our Medieval Era hath the best orchestral arrangements. They beateth!

[@harrisonsaid4278]

Warhammer 40k type comment

[@another_blacktomcat]

Try Eisenfunk - "Medieval bit", though they may have taken it a bit too far^^''

[@liviemillie6455]

Techno Medieval should be a genre tbh, it's so cool

[@bottlecaps2741]

See, now I want modernised versions of medieval songs. Greensleeves the EDM remix please.

[@bowiespacecat]

SIX had you covered lol

[@argolake8623]

In-between would be the ear-piercing Greensleeves title theme for the original King’s Quest I.

[@ars_moriendi]

Can I interest you in a techno remix of the Welsh banger Sosban Fach?

[@user-bb5mb8qp3n]

​@@ars_moriendiwait... It really exists!? 🤯

[@Ultraelectromagnetic]

Actual medieval composition remixed with modern synth/instruments = reverse bardcore? haha fantastic work as always

[@Hildegardvonblingin]

Exactly!

[@wraithwrecker_]

I know this is an april fools joke, but it slaps so hard. It's honestly so good. And yes the quotes in it are funny but they're also a vibe.

[@michaelburke4048]

Theme music for those people who attend Renaissance Fairs dressed as Star Trek characters.

[@eyesofthecervino3366]

Better yet, dressed as characters from Doctor Who. Now I wanna do this :D

[@user-bb5mb8qp3n]

​@@eyesofthecervino3366A flex would be getting dressed as Clara in the Robin Hood episode. Totally medieval, but the whovians would know...

[@KarlaMB]

I wish we had Renaissance Fairs in my area of England.

[@cmkaczmarek]

that is a good vibe.

[@loganhall1529]

Mine alerts art ringing for the lady blinging be signing. Alas, a fool thou hast made of me.

[@michellebyrom6551]

No singing, alas! Yet the maid Signed the day.

[@Charles.De.Lorme.1584]

Now i can teach my geese as a wolf thing

[@HazyDayzPlayz]

Is it a mongoose? How big do they get?

[@Charles.De.Lorme.1584]

I think they're a bit like meerkats. That's what I remember but I have no idea.

[@TheAgamemnon911]

Of all the April Folls Jokes I have been subjected to today, this one actually made me smile.

[@PatPatych]

The flag you're wearing is a joke not just on april fools.

[@JanneBernards]

@@PatPatychGo away. Nobody wants you here.

[@DahVoozel]

You mean like scrolling through comments and being offended by someone's pfp? ​@PatPatych

[@undrhil]

I like how it got more and more electronic as it went on LOL

[@syrehn7684]

You got me, I was expecting you to try to sing old english or something, then lord farquaad barged in like the koolaid man and shattered my illusion lol.

[@rosebyanyname]

I got the notification. I knew what day it was. I still clicked, cause it's Hildegard, and she never disappoints!!

[@Katy133]

0:48 Omg, The Court Jester with Angela Lansbury. That's a pretty deep cut. I love that movie!

[@trysarahtopps]

The Court Jester has been my favorite movie for forever!

[@Katy133]

@@trysarahtopps It's a classic!

[@SusanYeske701]

Is that what the middle bit is from? It's on my TBW list

[@rose72545]

Also starring Danny Kaye, Glynis Johns, and Basil Rathbone. A comedy classic!

[@bradlaplante546]

My dad and I watch it every year. An absolute medieval gem.

[@fikretkomurcu7161]

First I was confused, I was terrified, thinking that I would not stay subscribed, then I remembered, it's 1st of April. Well played, my fair lady.

[@Hildegardvonblingin]

Hahaha yes please don’t go, ‘tis but a jape.

[@dm9910]

I expected April Fools when I saw the title, but I didn't expect it to be such a banger

[@someguy3999]

While this is very close to medieval music, it's missing the dubstep commonly featured in Byzantine hymns.

[@williamgrewar776]

Of course that is overshadowed by the Ottoman brostep.

[@MulleDullen]

This is going on my D&D playlist for weird encounters

[@champiggyfrm_pig5271]

If your players ever throw a rave party in the sewers, I recommend "melody d'égout" by le rat. We had the best dnd session with this on

[@MulleDullen]

@@champiggyfrm_pig5271 yo thanks for the reccomendation!

[@Priestess_Zenithar]

Currently making the playlist for my wedding reception. This just got added.

[@DangerDurians]

Another Hildegarde von Banger

[@PercivalC]

That quote by Paul Giamatti as King John is actually really well delivered by him! Got a good chuckle from hearing it. Thank you once more for gracing us with your work, fair lady!

[@magnustherad1093]

Exactly what they listened to back then. Marvelous!

[@cecilyerker]

Yes most historically accurate excerpts from the sacred Shrek scrolls

[@Tancred85]

I went in expecting historical accuracy, enjoyed the joke and left thoroughly satisfied by the quality of the music and the awesome beats :D

[@xhopsalong]

Combining beat drops and Farquaad elevates this from solidly funny to 'going on the playlist', ty Hildegard!!

[@solla9486]

Another usual banger, nothing off about this one at all. I can just see the people in 1125 bopping to this classic tune. Thanks for sharing history with us.

[@Zachafinackus]

Yes, my favorite medieval instrument, the synth 🤘

[@iamdmc]

And so was born Techno-Bardcore THE sound of 2024

[@SanguivorousRevenant]

When you forget it is the 1st of April, but stay for the groovy Cantiga regardless

[@raveneskridge3143]

Farquad hits different at the start of a medieval drop. another amazing upload!

[@andrewklang809]

It's like the past come alive. And at last an authentic 12th-century disco ball.

[@log9357]

Best April fool's joke ever. I genuinely thought this was serious at first, got surprised in the best possible way. Hildegard I love you

[@troberts1]

I was SO not expecting the Lord Farquaad clip. Omg and then the Court Jester! XD And omg, I love this Cantiga! I've probably listed to it a billion times. Done by the now defunct group New York Pro Musica, who performed and recorded medieval music from the 50's to the 70's. Anyway, this was a hilarious and delightful rendition of Cantiga 166.

[@ardentulent]

around 1:08 really astounded me. to think that many ages ago, people of medieval times were brought together by sounds just like this….. just kind of amazing

[@hannahbradshaw2186]

We hath been blessed this day, friends, with such a banger as this that do slappeth most heartily. Thank you, o gracious lady!

[@darthy0da]

I better be hearing people playing this the next time I go to a Renaissance Festival

[@Polyanitsa.udalaya]

You are indeed my favourite YT creator, Hildegard! I love you

[@themannaking]

This slaps so much harder than it should. Thank you for all your hard work

[@threadfall100]

A most excellent jest, my lady. Took me a moment to figure out when this was posted so that opening line was a fabulous surprise

[@SusanYeske701]

April was months ago, and I still keep coming back to listen to this again! Great work!

[@donnaj9964]

This has been one of my favorites for many years; it's a joy to hear it done this way. The disco ball was a nice touch! The only ones not bopping along were the birds, and they would have if they could. Brava!

[@Amycalledshooter]

Aah! The Court Jester! I love that movie! So fun to hear it quoted!

[@Shuanishu]

The best April's gift! Bless your heart, milady !

[@John-Smiley-Garrett]

OK but this is unironically a banger. 🤘

[@Suran329]

I totally love that you do not only drop awesome songs (even if they're an april's fool) but your animations/video editing are always perfectly on point as well!

[@socpancake]

i can’t believe our musical mistress went so far as to procure an antique discus sphere for the purpose of this historically accurate reproduction. true dedication to history and craft!

[@TheSauronchik]

Surprisingly enchanting

[@Saufs0ldat]

When the bass droppeth harder than an unhorsed knight.

[@arianebeaudin1191]

The video made me emotional, that is peak silliness with the animals, I am so glad to live in these times where this is available.

[@jamesjastrzebski1536]

At first I was disappointed to not hear your incredible voice, but the animation is great, I LOL'd, and now RenRave needs to be a genre.

[@bordenfleetwood5773]

[@thewainingcrescent]

My country has already passed 4/1, so when I clicked this video I just thought I could study medieval history.... the fool was me :(

[@GuruJ_]

I lowkey love this. Cantiga 166 is legit a banger and this modernises it in a surprisingly faithful way.

[@alberttetley]

Absolutely amazing❤❤❤
