  • Let's dance

  • Can someone suggest some other versions of this song? I tried googling it by it's name listed here, but the only thing that comes up is this same song. It's a common tune, but people record it under different names I guess. I heard an electronic rendition on a Bruce Haack album, sounded amazing.

  • @synthastia Nomen Est Omen have posted a video Estampie. Search for Stantipes. Stevie Wishart did a good hurdy gurdy version on the album Gabriel's Greeting. She called it Untitled Instrumental Piece, (Track 10). One of my favourite albums.

  • @synthastia Also look on youtube for John Renbourn the English Dance. His guitar version is maybe too fast.

  • i want that picture forrmy bacckground. this is music that makes you happy.the wold would be so muuchh better if this type of music was played on radios and bars.. yes over and over again. jus like they rplay songs on radio

  • Good song

  • i love it!!!

  • Anyone familiar with the band Gryphon? They were a prog band from the 70's who made Renaissance and Medieval influenced music. Very interesting stuff and a pleasure to listen to. Anyway, one of the songs on I believe their album Midnight Mushrumps sounds very similar to this, however, I can't quite pinpoint it. Anyone know anything about this?

  • @ThomasYorkshire Nevermind my friends! I've figured it out! The seventh track, titled Estampie, of their first album Gryphon is what I was thinking of. It's an interesting interpretation of the piece.

  • So lively!

  • This is great I could dance to this ( hello whats this lump under my arm).

  • simply superb! thnks 4 sharin it! :)x

  • I would love to buy this collection of music, is there a CD that contains this music?

  • the contemporary to this is Robie williams??

  • That is nice but very different from Greek Medieval music(Byzantine religious and secular classical music)...

  • I play Happy Wheels to this.

  • Grasias a ARTE~FACTUM por la interpretacion de la Danza Inglesa de siglo XIII

  • God bless England, m'lord!

  • This is my favourite because it's the most energetic :) I can just imagine people dancing to this in Medieval times ;)

  • It is Estampie. The band Gryphon did a variation for their self titled debut album in 1973

  • a refreshing change from the rubbish nowadays !

  • It's about fertility and rebirth Psycho. It's what we used to do when we didn't know what was going on, if the harvest would sustain us over the winter, or who's paying for the next round of ale. Just pull on those antlers and dance.

  • Ye shall non disliketh thee video

  • lol, with the whistling, its sounds more like indie music

  • Very Cool!! Love this song.

  • I was born too late, born in the wrong era. Simpler more wonderous times.

  • @KingOfChaos213 I bet you would love working your ass off in the fields all day and going hungry to bet at night, only to be awoken next morning and punished by your feudal lord upon the wooden horse because you did not work quite hard enough.

  • @brutsi Indeed i would, better health for the toil and a promise of land if i fight in place of my lord. Simple life without the complexities of modern living, plus a life expectency of about 35, short and sweet.

  • makes me wanna party like it's 1499 a year before the middle ages ended.

  • I like the painting, as well as the song too.

  • Majestic !!!

  • What is this wonderful painting?! Love it and thanks for sharing!

  • @MLpossible Mind if I ask what the image used in the video is from?

  • @Iapetus5 I had the same question in my mind. The dancers are a bit scary.. =)

  • The Middle Ages might have been a dark time, but the peasantry weren't completely hopeless, nor (I would say) were they any more miserable than many people are today. Everything had its place in Medieval Europe, as the commoners believed they lived in a perfect system created by God. That thought would give anyone more than a little comfort.

  • @MrBropocalypse

    Now we lives in the darkest of times.

  • @wallentin76 Of course, people have been saying that of their own time since at least Ancient Greece (see Hesiod's Ages of Man). Trouble always looms largest when it's right in front of you.

  • this is the music people listened to when they went into town during the Middle Ages to buy some meat and vegetables. it was a great time, and everyone was happy all the time.

  • @DrJuice1 False. No everyone was not happy all the time, they had to work all day for no real profit for a lord that had they mutilated if they ran away from their village. I am sorry, but the Middle Ages was not as merry as some people would have you believe. It was actually a sad time for the peasantry, but that doesn't mean they were never happy. They made due with merry tunes and dancing!

  • @DrJuice1 haha. to put it in a modern context people can understand the norman castles of occupation made england like the west bank under the idf. the castles were there to pacify a rebellious native population as their land was stolen. maybe in 1000 years people will romanticise the idf checkpoints based on the music the palestinians listen to? :)

  • WHY CAN'T THESE SONGS BE IN MY FANTASY CAKE (well, technically NOW called "Pie", but...whatever) BAKERIES IN JULY, 1474!?!??!?!?!

  • 1:45 listen to how intense the guitar gets, thats some medieval metal right there!

  • It's like a MEDIEVAL FESTIVAL TIME!!!

    (DOUNCH, DOUNCH, DOUNCH, DOUNCH, DOUNCH...)

  • First time i heard this song i could whiste it halfway :l

    Freaky XD any nice to hear it

  • Kinda reminds me of the wedding scene at the beginning of braveheart.

  • Beautiful... whenever I think of the Medieval period I think of dark and depressing times, but this is really cheerful!

  • where is this picture from?

  • Great song. A lovely upbeat, dance along & feel happy tune!

  • Happiness abound! It makes me want to dance down the street with bells ties to my ankles! XD

  • Great tune! Do you know if it has another name? Would love to get the sheet music to it but can't find any online.

  • @racheliris01 I believe it's an Estampie (stomp) called a nota. It was found in a french manuscript in England in the early 14th century. I have the music in a book. The notated music consists of 12 sections of a single line of music except for the last which is in three voices.

  • @pianiplunker Brilliant, thank you very much!! :)

  • I really enjoy the way the tempo builds throughout.

  • This piece is so fun.

  • Joyful song! Where can I get a whole CD collection of medieval songs? Can't find it in our local store.

  • What a great version of the song! I have a different version performed only with a harp and at a slightly slower tempo. I didn't know this tune was so robust! Thank you very much for sharing it!

  • @antpop1 A pleasure!!!
