EARLY MUSIC MIDI
США
Добавлен 12 июл 2017
This channel posts videos containing electronic renditions of music from the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods. I collected MIDI files from various websites, tweaked them with a music editor app and sequenced them into virtual concerts. I tried to re-create the sounds of ancient instruments (shawm, crumhorn, sackbut, viol, medieval harp, lute, natural trumpet, cornetto etc.) by mixing different electronic tones or by adjusting their presets. For visuals, I used mostly public domain photos of paintings, sketches and sculptures (or silent videos) from Pinterest, Pixabay and Wikipedia, or I cropped manuscript pages from digital libraries or IMSLP.org. I used the Yamaha program Vocaloid 4 to convert lyrics into voice simulations. I sometimes revise earlier uploads whenever I discover a new fix to a previous limitation. I have, on occasion, rendered modern music inspired by pre-1800s styles.
Adrian Willaert (& Domenico Bianchini): Le dur traveil (1544) with Synthesizer V
Le dur traveil (travail)
0:00. Original chanson for 4 voices (accompanied by lute reduction by Domenico Bianchini)
1:57 Instrumental arrangement (flute, 2 lutes, harp, bass viol)
Although Willaert spent most of his adult life in Venice as music director of the Basilica San Marco, he published a small number of madrigal-like chansons in the French language in a densely stacked 4 voice polyphony reminiscent of his Parisian contemporaries Sermisy and Sandrin.
Willaert’s birthplace was situated near the western edge of the Flemish heartland, so he likely grew up in a bilingual milieu that included French, Dutch and various dialects of both. He studied, in his younger years, with the master Jea...

Francisco de Millán: Que puedo perder (c.1500) with Synthesizer V
Просмотров 90День назад
This rare gem of a villancico by Francisco de Millán is one of the hundreds of Spanish secular songs in the Cancionero Musical de Palacio. As was quite familiar to the period, this work too is a song of courtly love. The original MIDI was created and uploaded to Musescore.com by Bojopigeon. I used the KEVIN voicebank (with the Spanish language setting) in Synthesizer V to generate the three voc...

This staid antiphon by John Sheppard was likely composed around the same period as three other settings of the same title by his esteemed contemporaries Thomas Tallis, John Blitheman and John Taverner. All four works were consecutively copied into a single large collection known as the "Gyffard Partbooks" around 1570. It was likely used for Compline services at the end of a day and perhaps also...

This Marian motet comes from a collection of Venetian church music for 6 voices by Adrian Willaert, master of music at Basilica San Marco. It is written in the tradition of High Renaissance Franco-Flemish polyphonists just before guidelines by the Tridentine Council discouraged intricate counterpoint in church services. Some of the richly textured polyphony is prescient of later works by Palest...

I like this voice very much. Have you done any Orlando di Lasso (yet)?
Thanks. Not yet. But I will get to it eventually.

Here is my playlist of Lassus works that I created using the Vocaloid software. I have not yet tried renderings using Synthesizer V - which is slightly less robotic sounding.

Thanks 🙏
Sounds pretty amazing! BTW when looking at these pictures, I had to notice, with some surprise, that the Spanish left it how they took it - even without erasing the original Arabian inscriptions. In middle Europe they probably wouldn't have done that.
That’s true. I think after so many centuries of coexistence, there was some appreciation and familiarity on the part of some Spaniards for the elegance and beauty of Moorish culture and design.
@@earlymusicmidi I don't think that their music wouldn't have had such a distinct flavor and beauty if that were not the case. You catch that feeling so well!
Random viewer, this one's for thee I know you've been struggling with thoughts of suicide. Listen if you will There is a way to be free from the bondage of your past, It does not define you whatsoever. Be reborn in CHRIST, who gave up his own life in love, that you may live your life in mercy You are entitled nothing. But the mercy of God gives you a fountain of life no gold on this earth can match Cry out to God for mercy, even though you are merciless Cry out to God for hope. There is hope for the hopeless
The voices are becoming really good, and - as always - your selection of photo images is brilliant!
Thanks 🙏
Another great job!
Thank you! Cheers!

I saw this one only now. Like it very much - thank you!

That sounds like fun
Ha, what a nice new rendering of of my alltime favourite Advent song by Mr. Midi - thank you so much!
Yes I like hearing the middle voices for a change! Another performance by Herr Dirigent Johann Midimann.
@@earlymusicmidi Looking forward on that. I remember how someone (can't remember that person - maybe a fellow student or a professor, long ago) once came up with the idea to have the cantus firmus played on a trombone and the rest sung whilst the whole setting gets accompanied by organ and/or other instruments.
@ I have done that in the past in real life when I directed my own ensemble. It helped to emphasize the cantus firmus and it became a more didactic lesson. But I stopped doing it because I think the beauty of embedding a cantus firmus in between the other parts is to create a musical puzzle and a well-textured blend of sounds. Also I think Herr Luther wanted the human voice to stand out above all other sonorities including the pipe organ. 🤔🎶
@@earlymusicmidi Can't agree more!
@@earlymusicmidi Nevertheless, having a solo singer for the melody and the rest played by brass or strings might sound very pleasing too with this piece.
I understand the appeal of generative AI images, but I much prefer when you use original art from the time period. Either way, I love that you cite your sources!
Yes, I was just experimenting. I will get back to original art and photography 🤔
Rather good! You appear to have solved the previous "plosive problem" on entries. 😀
Thanks 😊
Beautiful!
Thanks 🙏

This is quite possibly my favorite Renaissance song from the Flemish school. Until I discovered this channel, The King's Singers version was the only one familiar to me. Always fabulous to hear instrumental, midi, and everything else in between. Thank you.
Thank for the comments. I also created a playlist of Willaert’s music. He is one of my favorites.
DE NUEVO, LOS ANUNCIOS SON IDIOTECES
LOS ANUNCIOS SON IDIOTECES
Old Hundred, beautifully done--it lifted my heart, and I loved the original pronunciation. Thank you!
Thanks for listening!
Sounds quite different and also more rough and lifelike, compared to the other software - but it somehow managed to swallow the first three crotchets in the second line of the cantus (but not the last crotchet "F" in that line). I listened four times over that passage (from 0:15 to 0:37) then I stopped because I got too disappointed - sorry and never mind, dear friend.
I think I noticed that the leading consonants seem a bit truncated. I think I can adjust for that in the future. There is the option to lengthen every sound element. I glissando effect on the leading note was intentional. I was trying to capture the feel of early American music of which this tune is one of the earliest. It was found in the collection of William Bradford, leader of the first Puritan colony in Massachusetts.
@@earlymusicmidiSounds interesting. I'm looking forward on your further work with this new 'instrument'.
I am simultaneously playing with the image generator on my ChatGPT app.
I think the voices come out better with your new software - except for the start of each phrase, which seems very plosive.
Yes I agree. The glissando effect at the start of each phrase was intentional - to get that folksy effect that comes with amateur, congregational singing. One can hear similar singing styles with American shape note songs.
@@earlymusicmidi That's very much what it sounded like--or a lined hymn without the lines (if that makes sense!).
Beautiful--it strikes me that it must have taken a formidable effort to create that light, airy sound with so much going on in it. Thank you!
Thanks 🙏 Yes. Producing the songs does take some time…
@@earlymusicmidi And a LOT of artistry, to judge by the results!!
@@donnaj9964 Thanks again! Hope you like my other recent uploads.
Beautiful, sublime , even ethereal music. Thoroughly enjoyable.
@@russellroberts2228 Thank you 🙏
That's really nice! I still remember, when, many years ago, a gentlemen, who was my harshest and, by the way, most revered critic, after having listened to this song (performed by the Amarcord Ensemble from Leipzig), told me how impressed he was by the "child like innocence" of this melody. Back then, I somehow had the strong impression that he was referring to Christ's word about the innocence that is needed to enter the realm of God - and I never forgot that moment.
That’s very special
I think Dowland would love this if he could hear it...I know I do. Thank you.

Thanks Al All the recercadas are wonderful but I have always been partial to these 3.
Исполнение такой музыки требует аутентичных инструментов, а не этого.
That was an early experiment that I tried using a very primitive MIDI editor. In fact, all of these soundtracks are experiments in computer sound production and were not intended to be compared with live performances. Every time I learn something new about computer sound production, I test it out on a piece of early music. My more recent creations are perhaps a bit more appealing to the trained ear.
