Medieval Music Live

A performance of me and some other students from Trondheim's communal music school. This was a part of another, greater show you can watch here: http://www.youtube.com/user/magasjukur

The setup is:
3 Alt/sopran recorders
1 Hurdy-gurdy
2 Violins
1 Regal (Würstfagott)
1 Portative
1 Organ type I've forgotten what is called
1 Norwegian lyre
2 Bagpipes

I'm the one playing the lyre and the swedish bagpipe to the right :)

The tunes are:
1. Anonymous Ballad of Robin Hood - Appears in Pammelia
2. Ja nuns hons pris - Ballad from Richard Lionhearts imprisonment
3. La Quinte Estampie Real/Royal - 13th century French dance from the Manuscrit du Roi
4. Pavanne la cornetta - 1530
5. Sumer is icumen in - english tune from 1260

that's a swedish bagpipe you're playing in the beginning right? I recognize the shape

@UlfLundell

Yup, it is.

I've found all those bands you told me and its all nice but not enough,too much modern elements :) I know that most of the real early medieval composers were anonymous so no 1 can really name them.Anyway what i just heard on this video is probably 1 of the best .Cheers!

[smedaas]

Sorry, can't recommend anything else :/ But I think Stary Olsa has some of the "earliest" music you might find.. anyways :) Good luck searching for more! Alert me if you find some groups :)

[smedaas]

You could also check out "Harald Foss"!

[gleb202]

this music has just enchanted me,could you recommend me any band who plays this kind of music? i'm sorry about my ignorance,am new to this :) thank you very much!

[smedaas]

Thanks :) Well, norwegian band Kalenda Maya for a start. I think you would like belarusian Stary Olsa as well :) I am not familiar with many other medieval-styled bands, sorry :( You could always try Skyforger and their album 'Zobena Dziesma'.

Good luck!

i never said ''pre pagan'' i said pre christian

[FallenRise2012]

lol pre pagan?

that would be really early... like sticks and stones early....

prechristian isnt hard to achive, but it verry unlikly europre ever even had a pre pagan time. as pagan means any other religion other then the main stream religions of today.

[smajlich55]
