The proposal of this group is to establish bridges where before there were none. Making Music in spite of purists. Music has to be alive, let the historicians worry about the 'correct' performance.

[GoldenAwakening]

But it is all our hope that the audiences would be drawn toward more authentic performances and demand "better" stuff. I like this performance, very lively.

[gcafeche]

Most of this group's work is Brazilian traditional music. Their intention is not to be exclusively performers of medieval music. I would recommend you listen to more of their work, especially 'especiarias', one of my favourites. There is room for it all, there is room for authentic (what's authentic we don't really know as we did not live in those days!) and for innovative. The more the merrier. Cheers,

[cadetstarnoodle]

Interesting argument. I hear what you mean. How about let those who choose to be purists do it, and we thank them for sharing the close-to-original versions. But to keep it in our current lives by adding new parts is what these Medieval and Renaissance composers did themselves! They started with a chant and then added parts! They secularized Masses with "covers" of pop tunes in the 1400s, unless I'm wrong here. Music and art need to live through us in order for it to be passed down.

[singerstar011]

@cadetstarnoodle I wouldn't call them "pop tunes", but yes, there was at least one mass from that time that used a melody from a secular work (also from that time), though this wasn't a general practice as far as I know. And yes, they did use melodies from old chants and added to them because those chants were considered divine, passed down from God himself, and only divine creations could be played in the church at this time. (It's called cantus firmus).

Remember something mediaeval

:)

[DecoGecko]

I can't see why you shouldn't use a cembalo, simple versions were made near the end of Machaut's life.

[Monrealese]

WOW!!

[mercb1928]

Superb beyond belief, do some more like this please!

[paunitka]

Exactly! Why not? If it sounds fine...

[eriksatie3000]

Machaut with a cembalo ???? why not with ondes martenot, or accordion....

[starlightmeteor]

Fiery and exciting, I had no idea that Machaut was the composer of the Notre Dame mass, but I knew that he was a wonderful motet and chanson composer

[panoptis]

Ah, just lovely. I am accustomed to thinking of Machaut as the priestly composer of the Notre Dame mass, but he was a courtly lover too, non?
