Calenda Maia - Saltarello - Medieval and renaissance music

[montelatici]

My father comes from the southern Marche region of Italy, this type of music is still played there.  They usually have a bagpipe, a type of recorder/flute and an organetto which is a small accordian. After I returned to the my father's town after my marriage, a troupe came and played nearly all night under our ancestral home where we were staying for a short vacation.

[LauraAKAyou]

I usually listen to electronica..and this is easily 2nd on my list of favorite genres. I find it hard not to think of myself dancing to this. It's beautiful.

[TheJubileeStar]

Absolutely beautiful music, I wish I was alive during these times to experience it firsthand.

[BIGGUNS104]

this stinks y did i pick this for my music project

[dragonsword343]

most of my people (including myself) are highly in love with classical stuff; but as a personal choice, I worship the renaissance

[Phantom51127]

Art just Art...!!!!

[ErryAndSims]

@steeve212 We listen to this music because pricks like you can't understand great music and are only attracted to shit artists like Lil' Wayne and P. Diddy.

[steeve212]

@ErryAndSims You totally know what music I'm listening to! how did u know??

[ErryAndSims]

@steeve212 You called this music gay, it's not.

[robotragehacks9999]

@ErryAndSims if he does not like it, he can say whatever he wants not everybody have to like all sorts of music

[DarkSarul]

@steeve212 Umm.. alot of people Im sure you listen to "really gay" stuff that no one else listens to..

[Igraine100]

stupenda la musica medioevale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[9Naethy]

Lovely music from my past life !!

[leguatorre]

who's the composer?

[Marcvs2735]

@leguatorre It doesn't exist a composer. Saltarello (or fem. saltarella) is peculiar of the central Italy. You can find something on wiki.

[leguatorre]

@Marcvs2735 Thank you, Italy is my favoutite country due to its amazing musical history. (sorry for late response)

[fieldgen]

a classic renaissance piece, very nicely played, not too fast, good flute player, and I like the Lute or whatever it is in the background, thanks for sharing!

[SlendeSt]

Very nice!!

We got a message from a friend of us, that he had seen us in your video. So it's indeed a surprise to see 2 photo's of us (all musicians of the Medieval Folkgroup Slag ende Stoot) there :-).

Our compliments for the video - it's very good!

[968158341]

[EagleOnTheRhine]

Traditional instruments, traditional music. I've always loved the middle ages. Good stuff.

[dinodynamic74]

this mixed with metal..

pure awesomeness! xD

[sbu6]

@dinodynamic74

I'm seriously thinking about this. A friend of mine is a drummer in a thrash metal band, I'll show it to him.

[solanut]

@sbu6 rock heavy metal came from europe!!! so good music comes from europe

[curziomalatesta]

Beautiful heritage of our civilization.

[Dodom123]

Nice, but a little fast for me.

Don't no why they have a Greek bouzouki in there!

[fellinian]

@Dodom123

I don't think it's a bouzuki, but a kind of mandola.

[Dragonicafan]

Oh lol this vid is on our moodle!!!

[katsandroses]

Hard to sit still :))

[pie558]

[darkdude10]

[thrashingchicken10]

Same here, this should be a great starting point.

[AnotherBrotherMark]

I thought this was great. The castle photos were outstanding too.

[SkopTeocratico]

Magnifico il Saltarello.

[jjpetkusiii]

Who can say it better?

Thank you, crissoly, for uploading this fine saltarello.

[NinjaArt99]

[jannokas85]

Lovely uplifting music!

[madi142112]

Thanks!! I had to get this music for a school project on the whole Renaissance Period.. this one is in really good quality too! so thanks again!!! XD

[Sincreti2012]

Saltarello is an Ancient ITALIAN musi for dance. The origins of Saltarello are in the religious Culture of the early Italics populations: Etruschi, Latini...etc...

[jaffacakkky]

Similar to the music of the Bretons. Thank You for sharing with Us.

[Malleficae]

Calenda Maia is the right name of the band, they're simply amazing!

[TheWidowsSonTemplar]

Love this music! Wish you could go to the record store and buy it today. This stuff is getting harder to find. Just at shows and stuff now. Thanks for sharing it

[outshore]

great stuff.

[BlueMoonCircle]

Perhaps Kalenda Maya is the group's name?  It is the title of a song also, but the tune they are playing is definitely Saltarello and not Kalenda Maya.

[parzifal2]

100% chilean (h)

[Akira161]

loco, no es Calenda Maia, sino Kalenda Maya, otro grupo naa que ver.

[OlafAndvarafors]

and who plays??

[virisithierenn]

It's lovely! But it is not Calenda Maia, it is a Saltarello.

[heheFlutterhaha]

Can someone please tell me what instrument is making the flute noise at the beginning? Is it the flute or something else?

[bmwaaron]

Sounds like it could be a whistle of some sort (probably not tin - sound isn't that bright). Or, if this is an historically-informed recording, it could be a medieval flute (which shares quite a bit with the whistle).

[heheFlutterhaha]

thank you very much!!

[Brandibb]

This is awesome! You could almost head bang to this! XD

[XxAWOLLxX]

is this song in public domian

[ZoanthropicParanoia7]

dunno but Dead Can Dance did a version of it

[Hyardacil]

Really?

Can't seem to recall...

Do you perhaps mean Saltarello? It's a bit different...

[MidnightRose77]

doing this for school...and well I can;t tell the difference between the eras please help!

[terasadera]

this is great music..

what are you talking about?

[TeddyBearTess14]

i have to watch this for school....I'm not really looking forward to itt...

[PurePerfection]

Forgive my spelling and grammar, it's horrible today for some reason. I won't even bother to list corrections to things I'd normally say/type correctly..

[bagOprions]

yes, sounds like the middle ages; except of course you need to add sewage and garage in the streets, no rights for women, and superstition so barbaric as to turn your stomach; i love you people romanticize an age that were they transplanted, they would abhor

[PurePerfection]

Where did I claim it was anything but? Poverty is still an issue and so is ignorance world wide. If you want to come in and trash on the middle ages when nobody was even discussing it that's fine, but to make blind moral judgments on history is laughably amateur. Witch burnings weren't common and I dare you to give me evidence they were apart of daily like. The poor still suffer worldwide from diseases that the rich do nothing to help, and it's STILL about the family you're born into. Get real!

[PurePerfection]

The middle ages weren't a golden age of anything, but nobody hear claimed it was. You just came in waiting for an argument, that's the only reason you'd randomly post such a statement that's only about music. Again, if you want to make passing judgments on history then you should look to your own time and see how badly the world is outside of America and Europe, and even within the poor of these western societies still. I dare you to go live in a slum or ghetto and tell me it's humane.

[bassjazz69]

apart from you rant-like argumentation, its of comon knowladge today, that the middle ages wheren't so obscure as they make it look in the past. there where a lot of advances in technology, cience, music and art. and if you have any doubt, look in the internet, there is plenty of evidence^^

[PurePerfection]

Why are you telling me this? I was the one defending the middle ages. I swear, people have horrible reading comprehension on this site.

[bassjazz69]

sry , i know you where defending it.. i was not telling this to you, it was you tube that misplaced my comment, i was telling this to bagOprions

[AnaliaHyrule]

Love the music, hate the time period.

[Vorototh]

If I recall it right, this tune is often referred to as "Tourdion".

Very nice rendition, though!

[KentuckyWildcats34]

if I could go back in time it would be to these times but when the western civs where discovering the caribbean.

[MartinRaetzJr]

Kannte Eure Musik schon aus dem Internet aber mit diesem tollen Video klingt's gleich noch viel besser.

[jjstardust2006]

what's the name of this song? :D

[parzifal2]

saltarello, and the Calenda Maia as a chilean folk band.

[luckyume]

I feel my spirit going back in time when i hear these sounds of music.

Thank you =)

[bagOprions]

Ah yes, the time of poverty, ignorance, and plague!

[PurePerfection]

I see only one of those problems were solved.

[bagOprions]

plague is clearly gone; if you think there is any comparison in knowledge to a time when people burned witches at the stake, thought mental illness was demons, that the earth was the center of the universe, then i can't help you; and in western europe, where this music came from, there is also no comparison w.r.t. poverty; if you want to go back to that time, be my guest; hope you are a noble, and don't die of some awful disease easily treated now; but at least on average, you'll die by 30

[adyingbreed82]

wow you sound really cynical and tough about life! get a life u knew what they were getting at!

[MamboVida]

It's a little fast to dance to.

[oxotori]

no its not . this is easy to dance to

[ssudian]

impressing!

[mitsotribal]

Cool

[nmatysiakj]

amazing!

[cjgardnerhomes]

Is that a recorder as the solo instrument? Sounds good. Apparently the Royal New Zealand Ballet Company is going to choreographed a dance to the music. Not sure if it's the same piece though (Saltarello). Its nice music, quite refreshing.

[HCFan39]

The pictures are beautiful too. <3

[HCFan39]

I really love it and could hear it over and over again.

[freya722000]

hiya could any body tell me please ,were i can down load this song from as i would love it for my medieval wedding .thank s

[piszczeck]

I like medieval & renaissance music, especially lute music. Most of it sounds like it has a little more Spanish or Italian influence than this piece.

[pablovasconezm]

It exist another ensamble "consort" from Chile, they also taked te name Kalenda Maya.

[pablovasconezm]

The ensamble is called "Kalenda Maya" they are from Sweden, the tune is "Saltarello di la pioggia", saltarello of the rain. Calenda Maya is the name of a tune composed by Rimbaud de Vaqueiras a trovadour.

[parzifal2]

is Calenda Maia, isnt kalenda maya.

this band is from my country Chile ^^

greetings

[marielablue]

[HartiaKozu]
