Douce Dame Jolie - The Lady and the Unicorn -take 2

[TriCanauos]

Cette interprétation est superbe. J'ai entendu dire qu'elle pouvait être celle de sabine Hornung, J'adorerai que ce soit le cas, car Sabine a une voix merveilleuse. ll suffit d'écouter son interprétation de "Palâstinalied", accompagnée d'une harpe pour être conquis...

Un connaisseur du groupe , Annwn pourrait il le confirmer?

Clyde, Senos Goba Tri Canauos.

[ol1950ga]

@TriCanauos Bien sur,c'est Sabine Hornung qui chante au sein du groupe allemand Annwn;il y a une version dans ces parages de YT avec les paroles;il est dommage de ne pas trouver les cd en France mais ils sont sur amazon allemagne entre autres

[flotl]

She has no accent, it's just the way old french was pronounced, r was rolled

[heliotropezzz333]

It's the vowel sounds that sound English. However, I'm not saying it's an English accent, as the singer is not English and I understand the pronounciation is meant to be a mediaeval French one. To English ears though is sounds like an English person singing a French song but with particularly good French pronounciation of the r sound.

[heliotropezzz333]

e.g the pronounciation of "dieu" as "d'you" instead of "d'yur"

[Morgas71]

The singer is Sabine Hornung of the German Medieval band Annwn. Douce Dame Jolie is taken from their first album called "Orbis Alia". They have just released another album called "Aeon" featuring more music from all over Europe. I incidentally found them on myspace: annwnmusic.

[Hazelduc]

dommage pour les Quebecois,mais il semblerait que la chanteuse soit Allemande;les Allemands dans certaines régions ont aussi une propension à rouler les "r";en tous cas pas d'accent english dans cette adorable voix.

[voxhunden]

Quebecois maybe, with the rolling 'r'. And it sounds a bit over-pronounced, that's why I thought she was English (why else call it "The Lady and the Unicorn" and not "La Dame et la Licorne"?). Anyway, I love this accent, it's beautiful.

[voxhunden]

I love her English accent, if it is one.

[Dicopsy]

Aucun accent Anglois là dedans, c'est du François ancien.

[voxhunden]

Normand?

[Dicopsy]

François du Moyen-Âge, la chanson date du XIVeme siècle.

?v=N2Pb_jpSyiE

A la rigueur, c'est un peu l'accent québécois peut-être, car les Québécois parlent comme les François d'avant l'exode rural.

Je sais pas si tu parles François ou Anglois...

[mouna28]

C'est ma version préférée sur Youtube !

Qui est la chanteuse ?

[Hazelduc]

In the other video of this same version(medieval virelai music etc) the person who posted-ZekiSWE-wrote about performers: German musicians;nothing else is said

[legato699]

Why is it that nobody who posted this recording ever mentions the performer's name, nor the musicians' names, etc.?

[tfd75005]

Annwn

[legato699]

Thanks ;-)

[MrEayes]

@legato699 The performer is the one who posted the video. The man who wrote the song is Guillume de Machautt.

[legato699]

@MrEayes tfd75005 provided me with the answer eight months ago. The band is called "Annwn". And yes, we knew it was Guillaume de Machaut who wrote it.

[esedoc]

@legato699 the compouser is guillaume de machaut XIII siecle de Reims france

[drav1dan]

Beautiful song! Lovely voice! Very nice arrangement. Does anyone know who the singer is?

[tfd75005]

Annwn

[heliotropezzz333]

@drav1dan  Sabine Hornung. Annwn is the band's name i believe.

[cesardiocletian]

warum

[heliotropezzz333]

@cesardiocletian I kann nichts deutch, aber warum sagen sie "warum".

[cesardiocletian]

@heliotropezzz333 d

[cesardiocletian]

@heliotropezzz333 .......sorry it was a mistake of me. Do yoú know from which century exact of the

midleage this music is. I like it very much.

Best wishes from germany.

[heliotropezzz333]

@cesardiocletian 16th century, I believe

[RENEDU2]

@cesardiocletian is a song from the 14th century, by the French composer Guillaume de Machaut.

[heliotropezzz333]

@RENEDU2 You are right. I made a mistake

[voxhunden]

That voice...

[ladyofthecats666]

very, very beautiful version!!! I knew this virelai as an instrumental Machaut´s composition...I´m glad to hear it with a female voice :)

[veilofdragons1]

This is a beautiful song and you are a great singer! Merci!

[triumphelf]

Check out-ARTESIA-

[RotteKatze]

This is very very good! I think you have a lovely, haunting voice!

[jeffreyberland]

i'm french and it is right this song isn't know a lot in france. but in fact i think all medieval frenhc songs are unknow!

[Dicopsy]

Non, je pense que ce serait raciste-antimite-fasciste, voir peut-être même carrément nazi et anti-communiste et dans tous les cas anti-maçonnique.

Ils ne diffuseront donc pas ce magnifique chant dans leurs médias.

Pour les goyims, mieux vaut la propagande pédéraste et repentarde, ils sont plus faciles à manipuler ensuite.

C'était la minute coup de gueule.

Magnifique chanson, une fois encore.

Merci.

[mouna28]

I like it with your little accent.

The 6 tapestries which represent the "Dame à la licorne" ( "Lady with the unicorn" ) can be seen in Paris, in the National Museum of the Middle Age, the Museum of CLUNY,near the antic thermes (spa). They are very well conserved and very big. They are allegoria of the 5 senses.

[jeffreyberland]

I'm french and i like old songs like this. But in france this song isn't knew a lot.

[chowasiah]

This song is blessed!

[nmatysiakj]

Fantastic! Too bad it is not on iTunes :)

[SaliteSullArca]
