The Leaves bee greene

[@jsb7975]

The most rich sound of an octave spinet I ever heard . Unbelievable ! Beautifully played as well.

[@danawinsor1380]

Thank you for a few minutes of transcendent beauty! BTW -- people might be interested in reading his epitaph from Norfolk Cathedral: Here Willyam Inglott Organist doth rest, Whose arte in musique this cathedrall blest, For descant most, for voluntary all He past: on organ, songe and virginall: He left this life at age of sixtie seaven; And now 'mongst angells all sings saint in heaven; His fame flies farr, his name shal never die; See art and age here crowne his memory

Thanks for this information.

[@georgebowyer8823]

I have been in the cathedral close for years now but have never seen this. Thanks for the share!

[@caesarsneezer6992]

I'm glad I discovered this corner of you tube. Keep quiet and the tourists will never find out. What an outstanding instrument. I'm discovering instrument after instrument on this mix feed. I'm in overload. HELP.

[@wolkowy1]

Beautiful set of variations, performance and instrument's sound. Thanks for uploading.

[@qwadratix]

Stunning tone.

[@ozgundemirr]

I want to make one, but can't find a plan cheap :/

[@Wolfganger]

Great sound!

[@kishascape]

Ottavio spinet yes? So cute and noble sounding.

[@JeremyBrosch]

Love the way this sounds!

Celui instrumental originale et parfait Bienfait historique musique 🎼🎶🎵 Absolument fantastique...

[@juanmgomez2008]

Espectacular!!!!!

[@bguh2173]

love the sound of these

[@musicalintentions]

This is so cool!

[@ingorichter649]

this instrument is simply fantastic. No sampler can reproduce this etheric but warm analogue sound of real plugged strings brought in tension in this nice real ancient small keyboard instrument. Thanks for sharing 🎵

[@CandiceGoddard]

Are you saying that the spinet is an "ancient" keyboard or that the one in this video is ancient, because that's a modern reproduction and it looks it. It looks very new.

[@ingorichter649]

@@CandiceGoddard The instrument played here is a reproduction of the "ancient" analogue string based technology called "spinet". Together with hapsicord, virginal and clavicord a noble family of keyboards typically belongs to baroque and rokoko - art - period.

Those be some greene ass leaves brother

A dream.

[@alleluiamichel]

Merci :-)

[@charlesinglett9500]

Advanced for the time

[@petermole3872]

Not sure why you say that. I think it is just a popular tune of the time, with a number...quite a large number..of variations?

Hello, what a crisp sound. What is the temperament/tuning system of the instrument?

[@leonardodigrazia9758]

John Arrow I'm sure it's meantone

[@lt1caprice57l]

Sounds like quarter-comma meantone to me.

[@charlesinglett9500]

Interesting

[@93stefa]

Hello! Very nice instrument!! How much does it weight?

[@luuktorn]

I think 6-10 kilo

[@rustydog1236]

@@luuktorn I doubt it. Probably 2 or 3.

[@ПетрФролов-е6г]

like!

[@zamppa63]

Some added/edited echo in recording? :) ;)

[@chrissansum]

More likely the natural resonance of the soundboard.

[@harpsichordkid]

This little guys often lack dampers on most or all jacks because the sound doesn’t last as long as a larger harpsichord. This has a little bonus in that the untouched strings are free to vibrate sympathetically.

[@tanakashigemitsu3029]

Nice art sound, is this normal tuning?

[@adamsouza7140]

No, it’s a renascence tuning.

[@tanakashigemitsu3029]

@@adamsouza7140 thanks for reply. Renascence tuning? Interesting.

[@Dovewu712]

do you mean that everything that's not equal temperament is not normal or what

[@petermole3872]

Sadly, Yes! Most of the words for this traditional tune have been lost. Just two couplets survive:- 'The leaves be greene, The nuts be brown, They hang so high They won't come down' So it is an autumn song, like Peerson's 'The Fall of the Leafe'

[@TheMrLMason]

If the leaves are green and won't come down, that doesn't sound very autumnal.

[@petermole3872]

Not so! It is the nuts which won't come down! Hazelnuts, which I suspect are what is referred to, are on the trees when the leaves are, as are walnuts and chestnuts!

[@CandiceGoddard]

@@petermole3872 Why do you think it refers to hazelnuts are they native to the UK? I think it could be chestnuts since the piece is British. Also could refer to the horse-chestnut which someone might want to get down to play conkers.

[@nigelwalker2668]

Is this tune also known as “Browning my Deare”?
