I have just been given this music to learn for my choir. I can't listen to this without getting teary eyed! I only hope my choir can do this magnificent piece of music justice. It is so haunting and reaches to the depth of the soul.
This music is certainly very interesting for its capability to evoke a remote past of our civilization. But in my opinion it's even more interesting because of the difficulty of recreating the ancient style. The thirds seem pure (I think that singers employ natural intonation) and above all consonant, in a conception where the only consonances are the octave, the fifth and the fourth. Performing this music is very difficult, and even more hearing it in its "significant".
I simply love this! It's without a doubt a masterpiece! We have been listening to parts from it several times in a kind of "music history" class lately, and I just love it <3
Stunning music, thank you for sharing it in this format. I had not heard the Ensemble Binchois before, though I'm familiar with the name--will definitely look for some of their recordings.
@MrEffmylyfe Do you suppose that your professor is having you listen to a seven-hundred-year-old piece of music because it is not too bad or because it is a masterpiece?

Definitely prefer this to the other version on Youtube with the ultra flamboyant orthodox style ornamentation. Thanks for the upload.

One of the greatest pieces of music from the Medieval period. Nice version too.
