Is that the basso profondo richard wistreich on the left just before the images of the consort singing start? Haha, what a strange surprise!

Soory, aber dieser Film gehört Ihnen nicht, sondern der inpetto filmproduktion. Von daher löschen Sie diesen Film wieder, oder ich wende mich direkt an youtube!

Mit besten Grüßen

I have never come across a better Early Music Ensemble. Ever.

I wasn't sure how to download the film from your website. I have, however, purchased your film "Thy Kiss of a Divine Nature," and it's very well done! More needs to be said about Perotin. You should consider producing a whole series on medieval music, incorporating the latest research...that would be amazing...

actually called "si par souffrir"

words are:

Si par souffrir l'on peult vaincre Fortune,

Je croy en plus le prix me demourer;

Car nuict et jour je ne fais que penser

A ma douleur et soubdaine infortune.

[epn10]

that was incredible...where can i get the music for this piece???

[epn10]

they'll be in the US in 2009

These gentlemen are amazing...I was amazed that there are only 4 of them....the sound is like there are 10 or 12...reminds me of the first time I heard Lenny Breau play the guitar...so distinct and creative. Man my jaw hurts....because it just hit the floor !! Thanks very much for posting this video....I will be searching more of your videos...once again thanks RC

[Billy520917]

@eightstring I was surprised, too. A much bigger sound.

[cartaphylus]

[epn10]

does anyone have a video of the hilliards singing "absalon, fili mi" by des prez? there used to be one on here...

[msgrjosh]

yes

"Si pas Souffrir" is a real gem - I've never heard an all vocal rendition of the song but I've always really wanted to, so thank you, Fabian for this clip.

I believe that men would play women's parts in the theater during the Renaissance, but I'm surprised to see men singing the alto and soprano lines in these songs (I know that the ensemble Clement Janequin is also comprised of men) I wonder if this was standard during the era?
