Corvus Corax - Saltarello

[@TheMacanta]

I saw these guys by accident. I was walking through a park in Germany one day in the early 90s and heard this weird, energetic, upbeat, hypnotising music. I walked in the direction of the sound and saw these guys playing. I think they were only starting out at the time and they must have been booked by the local council. It was free so I sat myself down and listened to them for a while. I couldn't stay for long but I was blown away by them. Videos don't do them justice. They need to be experienced live.

[@fantasy9917]

Almost the same happened to me in 2015. Our city was celebrating 750 years since its foundation and they were part of that. Just followed the sound to the city square.

[@TSUKNIDA]

@@fantasy9917 Would you please share with us,which city that is,that celebrated 750years foundation in 2015,when you saw C.C. on the Ciy´s Square ?

I listen to these wonderful different Forms of Music from throughout Europe Ranging from Ireland to Scotland/Scandinavia/Germany and beyond and again realise how slightly different our Cultures are,But more Importantly how very much we are alike. We are really distant Kith and Kin.Love to you all from Northumberland in the UK.

Saltarello, it is an Italian form of music. They still play this with bagpipes and pifferi (type of flute) and tamburi in the Italian region of Marche where my father is from.

[@HaegarVonThule]

Once you`ve seen them live, you`re addicted immediately! The Best Of Pipes And Drums I`Ve Ever Heard ^^

[@XEpikurX]

Dead Can Dance made a very fine version of the Saltarello No.1 but they did not compose the song. Saltarello No.1 is an italian traditional and has (as I know) an unknown composer...

Its been over 2 months now, the Coronavirus quarantine. Today the quarantine got rid of some restrictions. I started jogging in the park today, while listening to Corvus Corax. This song and In Benedictus Virgine pumped me up badly. Adrenaline rushed through me and i started beating up other people who came too close. Im writing this from the police office, someone come bail me out pls.

[@lefoix4629]

Hello fellow human. I am from the future. Don't worry, the quarantine will soon be over!

[@KB-es5he]

Just discovered this - 12 years late. I love the Dead can Dance version of this piece but the original - way back in the day in those mediaeval piazzas - probably sounded more like this one played by these born again troubadors!! Fabulous!!

[@NancyFrye]

Great music, great production design! Good, medieval "in your face" stuff!

[@christophe20090]

Amazing !! i known the "dead can dance" version but this one is overboosted, love the drums & this beat close to hard tekno

[@philipptreichl3552]

Imagine this as a tune the scots used during the jacobite uprising - charging to the sound of bagpipes and drums, first slowly marching until the beat gets faster, then running faster and faster until you reach the redcoats lines and start to hack and smash them up with your basket sword or lochaber axe 💪

[@marcodavigo9230]

beautiful music

[@GiorgioTn]

this italian song from florence has 700 years!

[@TheAnarchistBeekeeper]

Ade Hd Naples? If I remember right the first manuscript that mention a saltarello dates back to medieval Tuscany..

[@pararoids]

@renataravensong @moshhammer you are both correct scientific labelling has ungone many changes, most commonly they debate of whether to use latin or greek. during the 18th century many scientific labels used both languages to appease both sides

[@ShelXanadar]

Calling something "metal" doesn't always mean that it is under the definition of metal music, often it is used to say that something is seriously great. Under which I agree, this is seriously the best version of rock and roll via bagpipes and sans guitar that I have ever heard.
