right on man.... right on, these old timers knew what composition was about. Some seem to think that this was just old boring stuff that was made irrelevant by Bach, that this was when understanding of music was still primitive and they didn't understand tonality yet. But I say, some of the sounds you get in this style are absolutely otherworldly! I will never be able to express what the soprano line around 1:14 does to me... I can only say that it feels as if space elves are speaking sunsets to me. More people need to know that medieval/ renaissance music was studied just as deeply back then as it is today, and contains just as much meaning.
