Recorded this onto a cassette in 1985 - lost it about five years later - great to hear it again - thanks

[@petegarvey9224]

Wonderful stroll back to my uni days. Munrow really brought this music to life with his classic albums.

[@maxmerry8470]

Now this is essential "Wake Up, Max" music! 6:50 A.M. in GB in the Year 2019......at least, I think it is! Ah, David Munrow is sadly missed. Time to follow his Renaissance Dance Band, tapping at my tambour as I go..........

[@strugglingcollegestudent]

Where is Ronde II estoit une fillette And Ronde den 4th ronde? I’m asking for my music appreciation class lol

[@MrArtisticGenius]

@@strugglingcollegestudent This recording only contains 12 Dances, the original Danserye had 16 Dances, hence the missing Rondes. I can't find a David Munrow recording of the missing 4 pieces. There are other artists' recordings of the 4 dances on KZbin, if you just search for "Susato" + [Dance title].

[@moyraannehuxtable4306]

David Munroe was one of our greatest early music musician .

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

A fantastic record. I;ve had it for many years, but haven't been able to play it (no turntable). Fabulous to hear it all again! :-)

[@dmntuba]

LOVE IT!!!! As a brass player I grew up listening (PJBE) to, and performing 👍

[@bernharddittmar563]

Thanks this great piece of ancient art😍😍😍

[@lubossuchanek3726]

Bravo, bravissimo.

[@Chicagoan444]

I love this music so much.

[@odfoto]

Thans so very, very much for sharing! This album opened my interest for early music. I still own it, but alas no vinyl player. Same cover and all. I even remember the "overhearing" from the next turn of the vinyl on it (which in a way is not good, but precious to me!). And the all time favourite is Basse Dance Bergeret ..., renaissance rock n'roll :)

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

I agree with all you say. :-)

[@ericwyness9089]

Just delicious - this is great stuff !

[@thewomandirector]

Wonderful!

[@jackjc1447]

mike oldfield recorded a beautiful rendition of "ronde and salterelle" under the name "wrekorder wrondo" in 1978.

[@eporze]

Preciosa interpretacio'n!!!!!!.-

[@WarriorKingT22]

Excellent!

[@espermachinemusic]

Delightful

[@espermachinemusic]

If Oliver Cromwell had a band for his military unit.

[@Atrux1]

How these things were supposed to be danced? Its really hard for me to imagine that from 2021 !

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

People have very different interpretations-the tempi can vary a lot in performance. There were many standard dances of the time though and I thnki you will find some examples here on You Tube with contemporary performances. :-)

[@Mnnvint]

It's easier to imagine with some recordings... Convivium Musicum Gothenburgense, "At the Sign of the Crumhorn" plays them a lot more danceable IMO. But this is nice too.

[@westcountrypastygalloper8747]

Trippy.

[@Jeffertonian]

I still have some tapes taken off BBC Radio3 when David Munrow had a regular slot in the last century LOL

[@sapper82]

Pied Piper. His early evening slot.

[@bsontrop]

Wake-Up, amen! @12:40, which one is that, Allemaigne and Recoupe? ,, or Basse Danse Bergeret sans Roch and Reprise? Will see how our 1.5 year old grandson takes to

[@ericwyness9089]

That's the "Basse Danse Bergeret et Reprise"

[@lukedaniell]

[@juliahart8593]

Who else listening for music appreciation class

[@danawinsor1380]

Is there a connection between David Munrow and Nick Drake? I wasn't sure why Drake is discussed on this thread.

[@maxmerry8470]

Only that both were very influential in their respective fields and also took their own lives while still relatively young. However, that came up in a private conversation between two listeners (one of whom was myself). It wasn't being presented as a definite connection between Drake and Munrow. More, if anything, a coincidence.

[@doncharleslundell]

He was. See above comments.

SO BEAUTIFUL ! MANY THANKS @Rodders 💝 💝 💝 💝 💝

[@tonyobadinage6647]

What is it about genius and the tortured soul? Munrow's legacy is there for all to see, for all to hear. The myriad of 'original instruments' bands and orchestras which appeared during the late 60s/early 70s is due, in no small measure, to the ground-breaking work of people like him; it's arguable that he changed the face of classical music and brought it up-to-date by taking the music back to its origins and paring it down to only the vital components, losing the superfluous sentimentality of over-orchestration in the process. His recorded output, whilst relatively small, is of a consistently high standard and one can only imagine and wonder at what achievements he might have made had he not taken his own life. And therein lies the crux; his mystique, his almost cult-like status, enhanced over the years, is such that it is his tragic early death which enshrines him in the pantheon of musical greats to the point where, more than forty years after he died, his is still the first name one thinks of when one talks of Renaissance Music. I very much link him with another tortured soul, operating in a different genre, who also took his own life around about the same time; Nick Drake. Drake's three albums are masterpieces with their, and his, reputations growing significantly since his untimely death.

[@maxmerry8470]

Not stalking you, Tony, or trying to undermine your comment. Regarding Drake, whose three albums are, indeed, beautifully timeless, I understand his sister, Gabrielle, has always felt doubtful about his supposed suicide. Overdose? Unintentional? Who can ever tell? And, as his sister, I imagine she won't want to think of some desperate "aloneness" marking his final moments of life.

[@tonyobadinage6647]

Max, did you ever see the documentary which was made, with her full support, about his life? I forget what it is called but it is on KZbin.

[@maxmerry8470]

Yes, some years ago now. I think, if my memory serves me well, that was where I detected her doubts. I remember also Brad Pitt's endorsement of Drake's music, adding to the mystique (not, as I recall, in the context of that documentary). A magic moment for me was on the Isle of Barra a few summers ago sitting in a small tearoom and hearing River Man being played over muted speakers. Had no choice but to engage the Asian proprietor in conversation about his choice of background listening. A diehard Scottish Nationalist, he waxed enthusiastically about what Nick Drake meant to him. My wife had to pull me away as we talked Drake and politics for rather a long time.......

[@tonyobadinage6647]

A lovely story, Max, Drakes music touches the most unlikely people. "River Man" would probably be my favourite of his songs.

[@doncharleslundell]

The connection of Munrow to Drake is an apt one. Both tortured (and both under-appreciated). There is something in the melancholy of the music that also ties the two together.

[@robcmstephens]

Ah this is the first piece of music I can remember hearing in my life! Great musicality. Thank you to you for posting this and my parents for introducing my brother and I to the glorious life long treasure that is music !

[@juliahart8593]

In your life??? That's amazing! For me it was those cheesy Mozart pieces they use for developing fetuses lol

Si bien se desconoce el lugar de nacimiento de Susato, algunos eruditos creen que debido a su nombre, Susato, que significa de Soest, de la ciudad de Soest , puede ser de la ciudad de ese nombre en Westfalia o de la ciudad de Soest en los Países Bajos. No se sabe mucho sobre su vida temprana, pero comienza a aparecer en varios archivos de Amberes de alrededor de 1530 trabajando como calígrafo e instrumentista: la trompeta , la flauta y la pipa de tenor se enumeran como instrumentos de su propiedad. En 1543, fundó la primera editorial musical que utiliza música de tipo móvil en los Países Bajos . Se le podía encontrar en Amberes, "En el signo del Crumhorn ". Hasta que Susato instaló su prensa en Amberes, la impresión musical se había hecho principalmente en Italia , Francia y Alemania . Poco después, a Susato se le unió Petrus Phalesius el Viejo en Lovaina y Christopher Plantin , también en Amberes, y los Países Bajos.Se convirtió en un centro regional de la publicación musical. Es posible que Susato también manejara un negocio de instrumentos musicales, e intentó varias veces asociarse con otros editores, pero ninguno tuvo éxito. En 1561, su hijo Jacob Susato, quien murió en 1564, se hizo cargo de su negocio editorial. Tielman Susato se mudó primero a Alkmaar , Holanda Septentrional, y luego a Suecia . El último registro conocido de él data de 1570. Susato también fue un compositor consumado. Escribió (y publicó) varios libros de masas y motetes que se encuentran en el estilo polifónico imitativo típico de la época. También escribió dos libros de canciones que fueron diseñados específicamente para ser cantados por cantantes jóvenes sin experiencia: son solo para dos o tres voces. Las publicaciones más importantes en términos de distribución e influencia fueron los Souterliedekens de Clemens non Papa , que eran ajustes métricos de salmo en holandés, que usaban las melodías de las canciones populares. Eran enormemente populares en los Países Bajos en el siglo XVI. Susato también fue un prolífico compositor de música instrumental, y gran parte de ella todavía está grabada y ejecutada en la actualidad. Produjo un libro de música de baile en 1551, Het derde Musyck boexken ... alderhande danserye , compuesto de piezas en un arreglo simple pero artístico. La mayoría de estas piezas son formas de danza ( alemandes , galliards , etc.). A menudo Susato dedicó sus publicaciones a los ciudadanos prominentes de la ciudad. A veces dedicaba un volumen entero a las obras de un compositor (por ejemplo, Manchicourt y Crecquillon ). No en vano, parece haber favorecido a otros compositores flamencos como temas de publicación. También fue uno de los primeros en publicar música del aclamado compositor del Renacimiento tardío Orlande de Lassus .

[@doloreshernandez5149]

Arturo, gracias por compartir tanta riqueza en detalles! Susato era entonces contemporaneo con René Descartes en esa era de Oro de arte y cultura filosófica y musical, y de teatro...Gracias por detallar la vida de Susato y de sus días de imprenta o prensa. Imaginese, vivir toda una vida dedicada no solo a tocar música, pero también a escribirla e imprentarla? Toda una vida de inspiración, arduo trabajo e invención. Y si, de esa manera vuelve a nacer el espíritu humano por medio del sacrificio de la creatividad...y de eso nace una flor...de música!
