Leonin: viderunt omnes

Organum by Leonin(1150-1201), one of the first polyphonic music composers, sang by "Tonus Peregrinus" and with some paintings by Giotto(1267-1337), Simone Martini(1284-1344)and Cimabue(1240-1302); all of them were gothic style painters.

This version is not the one by "Tonus Peregrinus". It's the one performed in the early 70's by David Munrow and the "Early Music Consort" of London. It's very spirited and well performed, but it's a bit dated in terms of historical research. BTW, the bells are not in the original score -in fact, those middle ages scores are very simplistic and ambiguous and can be interpreted in too many ways.

My mistake, thanks for the correction.

quite stupid comment, don't you think?

[benjaminz6]

Do you really think that pianos could make this any better. I actually don't know how pianos and chants sound together. But I have heard a few modern Gregorian groups and they kinda suck.

I want to hear some of this good shit sampled in a dubstep track. Would be amazing.

@0000AllFitness0000 I'm sixteen and this is one of the most profoundly beautiful pieces I've heard in a long time ^^ I just can't understand how people today can say that music in the charts is the best when an ocean of undiscovered music they can't even begin to comprehend the beauty of lies beneath them in history

[0000AllFitness0000]

This is back when music was good! (extremely boring and ineffectual rant about how young people don't understand what good music is).

My work is finished.
