Rose, Lis, Printemps, Verdure - Guillaume de Machaut

a small snippet of this song is sampled in Panda Bear's "I'm Not." now that i've found it, i can say it's beauty at its simplest. =]

YEAH BABY!!!

Is there any other Machaut that is this beautiful? (please don't tell me the Missa de Notre Dame, I love it, but it is NOT as beautiful as this) Thanks!!

"Dame, de qui toute ma joie vient" IMHO is just as beautiful. That is the first selection on "The Mirror of Narcissus."

There are lots of beautiful works by Machaut. Start looking!. I recommend his motets, but there are rondos, ballads and other forms in his repertoire. And another beautiful big work is "Le Lai de la Fonteinne". Which is a collection of pure melodies and 3 voice canons.

The Gothic Voices is the original recording on the NAWM and the album is called The Mirror of Narcisuss. There are several other Machaut pieces that are wonderful on the album. The Gothic Voices also have several great albums with 14th century music. I very highly recommend them!

the great Orlando Consort, the song is really beautiful, i love this great Cd (the Rose, the Lily & the Worthenberry), really thanks!!

Cute sentiment!: " ... all composed during the 14th century, so you can't go wrong."
The recording I have of this NAWM 26 (students will know! :) is a M3 highre and has incredible, pure female voices. Lovely, lovely. Very interesting study, this period.

NAWM 26 is taken from "The Mirror or Narcissus" by Gothic Voices, which uses two female and two male voices for 'Rose, Liz Printemps, Verdure" (NAWM #26). Gothic Voices is probably the best medieval ensemble of all time. Buy the album, it's honestly my favorite music album across all genres.

Isn't it actually all dudes on the NAWM?? That always freaked me out, hearing that counter tenor, you know?, but this Rondeaux is so beautiful, my favorite Machaut...
