Catalina Vicens, performs
"Rondeau" from "Tres Novas Cantigas" (2014) by American composer Carson Cooman
"Tres Novas Cantigas (2014) was written for Catalina Vicens, an inspiring virtuosa of medieval-era keyboard instruments. The title (in Galician) means “three new songs.” The three movements move freely between old and new modality-a contemporary dialogue
with the past" - www.carsoncooman.com
Pythagorean tuning
Recorded with Zoom H4n and Nikon D3300

Impressively tight timing between bellows work and right hand (how do you get such long phrases!!) and such joy in the playing, it's like you are singing everything (well, you are!). Unusual delicate effects I've never heard anyone else get out of any portative. Utterly lovely.
That would be perfect for my tiny cathedral.
Just get a harmonium, more convenient
@@saharatul Or a bigger cathedral.
@@saharatul except harmoniums all sound utterly awful.
Such big sound from a small package. The instruments of the medieval period produced such a wide variety of sound. Nothing simple or primitive about it. Thanks for sharing her skills and the organ as well.
My ST. CECILIA Statue (Patroness of Music - I'm a Soprano) is carrying a Portative Organ. But I never heard one until now. How beautifully she plays it! What a haunting soft sound!
this is the Platypus of music instruments. I love it
Amazingly played! The full use of the bellows really adds so much! If it sounds so wonderful now, I can't even imagine what it will be like when it's all grown up.
This week I have seen two instruments I've never seen before, and this is the third - and I want EACH ONE!! Santa, please take note.
What are the others?
dont leave us hanging.. please tell us wat the first two instruments were
@Gennady Golovkin The first was I believe called a cucurbit, a long flute-like instrument with a sound like a gentle bagpipe, only without the drone. The other - don't know the name, but a stringed instrument, bowed but with a keyboard for fingering - perhaps six strings? Capable of great virtuosity and wonderful sound.
@@johnsheehan7348 i just bought a cucurbit online. I don't know how long delivery will take. Have you heard the duduk? It is amazing
@@anatborodin5907 Actually heard it - I am living in Amman, Jordan and not long ago there was a concert at which that and an Oud were played with some other instruments. Armenian evening
Hearing an instrument like this helps me to understand how "modal" music was once such a big thing.
There's nothing cooler than watching someone play an instrument and really get into the emotion of the music.
One of the most powerful and accurate statements I have ever heard regarding the connection between the performer and listener! 👍
God I cannot get enough of this piece, this performance, this instrument!!!! I have been a lover of the portative organ for years, but this piece just makes the instrument SING!!! Beautiful!!!
She plays much as a fiddler or harper might play, really flowing with the music. Well done.
OMG, I'm smitten and on a multitude of levels!
I've seen this instrument before, being played by angels in renaissance
era paintings. But I always assumed it was a fake joke instrument thought
up by imaginative painters.
It's like providing the audio to a medieval portrait of Saint Cecilia playing the portative...
This was one of the most beautiful and moving things I have ever heard in my life
What a beautiful performance, such brilliant artistry, thank You Catalina!
Watching you play is a beautiful experience. If I were deaf you’d have my full attention.
I was surprised,because I saw the small oggan first time . I am 72 years old and live in Japan. First time.
Thank you "you cube", give me present such music & picture. 小林憲一郎 2019/12/26
Awesome!
One of the classic troubadour instruments. There is a replica displayed at Musee du Quercorb in Puivert, France.
It would be a fun one to try and recreate. Not for the faint of heart.
Making a note to stop there for an afternoon. Thanks!
Yo man let’s bring this instrument back into modern life. Such a cool instrument!
That's the kind of music I want to hear in a fantasy game!
Listen to final fantasy crystal chronicles OST music. They use this instrument and many more other medieval instruments
Love how she believes the song, she tells the story and enjoys it.
@PLEASENINTENDONT
@Daniel Del Valle You're acting more arrogant than anyone else here.
@Daniel Del Valle Life is a subjective experience. Everyone is ignorant of most things, and everyone has their own perspectives on everything.
I'm not telling you that you can't speak your mind, but I think you've chosen a very superficial position. It doesn't matter how people judge music. Music is not important beyond personal preference.
@Daniel Del Valle You seem to misunderstand me. What I'm telling you isn't a lesson, and I have no reason to care about your education or supposed qualifications on the study of music. What I'm attempting to explain is that there's absolutely no reason to expect anyone to believe that your opinion on the matter of music is important, and that is because all value is subjective.
@Daniel Del Valle Didn't your degrees teach you how to behave in internet? Your language for mocking people is quite disgraceful. Why so angrily agitated all the time and overreacting to little things? "He just wanted teach a little kid a lesson." Yeah, right. There is absolutely nothing wrong about it. I rather found something ill in your comments. Nobody cares about you resume because it's not very helpful here. Not even educational. It's also very childish that you making the issue like American vs Something else.. where individual differences count more. (I don't agree on bashing European like that either ) I'm Japanese living in the United States, but it doesn't matter I'm American or not, what I say in more important than who I am (and how many degrees I have.. sigh...)
Yeah, you are worse than a little kid here. You need a serious lesson.
A person who got REAL education never acts like you do.
What a pleasure of the soul to hear this organ.. I love it
Catalina, your performance renders the ineffable into something clearly effable. With closed eyes and an epiphanous smile, you breathe the song out with the bellows, articulating the notes with the keyboard. You and the organ become the music of the gods. Thank you❣ 😎 😎 {Certified old curmudgeon}
Thank you!!
A song played perfectly can never compare to a song played with full emotion and devotion. While the former can please your ears, the latter can touch your very soul.
How amazingly cool is this?? Just stunning! And I love the joy with which she’s playing. 💕
I've listen to this dozens of times and each time it takes me somewhere and I can't explain it. Crazy
A band that used it both in studio and live shows was Jethro Tull.
And wow, they really knew how to use it!!!
Also Shirley Collins, Dolly Collins - Barbara Allen from True Loves Knot
I hope she uploads more medieval music on this portative organ, I love it.
996TwinTurbo911 I will very soon!
I've never seen one, but very cool indeed. Wonderfully played.
I could listen to you play all day
Interesting that she can set a drone in the tonic sounding almost like a reedless harmonium.
She did that with a capo that held down the D.
A delightful composition played with great sensitivity.❤️
The original keytar?
Incredible performance and sound. I’ve never heard anything quite like this as an acoustic instrument. Imagine a collaborative performance or recording with Sarah Davachi.
It has the delicateness, timbre, suppleness, and the quality of a soprano voice!!!!! It sounds feminine!!!!!
Never had I heard a portative played like this!
What an interesting sound, I really enjoyed your performance! Thank you
I've never seen this instrument before, amazing! great performance too!
Thanks, Ms Vicens, for sharing this interesting en beautiful instrument, as well as the music. Much appreciated!
Immaculate performance. Its amazing what this music does when I close my eyes. Thank you!
It's your enthusiasm as well as the " chiffy-ness" of this organ that gets me.
I watched Catalina in Funchal (Madeira, Portugal). Amazing experience
Seduced! - by both the music and the performance!
absolutely fantastic instrument .ever seen one before . well played
Grazie per un'attimo sono tornato indietro di secoli...
The breath dynamics make all the difference. It makes it so much more organic and expressive than a pipe organ. I love the little thump when the air valve closes, too. It's almost percussion.
It IS a pipe organ, just a small one.
And there is no "breath" here... the dynamics are only slighly controlled by the bellows. As in all PIPE ORGANs, the pipe is either on or off. The "percussion" you hear is not a valve, but rather a deliberate feature of the pipe's mouth. It is called "chiff"
Like a bagpipe, it has drone pipe(s). The Irish bagpipe has a bellows like this, not a mouthpiece.
@@johnigoe1705 Listen more carefully with better speakers or headphones. She dynamically goes from soft to loud for emphasis, which you can't do on a pipe organ at all, because the air box is supplied at a constant pressure. The little thump I'm referring to is the air valve closing when she puts pressure on the bellows, not the "chuff" at the start of each note. Again, you need good speakers to hear it. A cell phone is worthless.
@@sneadh1 Like the banjo drone string
Awesome music, awesome lady!
What a fascinating video. The drone note adds elements of bagpipes.
St. Cecilia, pray for us!
Amasing instrument indeed. Thank's for the video
I love unusual musical instruments. ❤
Check this out. ruclips.net/video/3HP4gjJm4uQ/видео.html Taken at the Musical Instrument Museum in Arizona.
What a lovely performance. A truly extraordinary instrument!
Very beautiful and romantic music ❤❤❤❤
I didn't know this instrument even exist! Amazing. And she looks so happy playing it
Such a wonderful musician. And what a beautiful tone out of that instrument.
Wonderful!! SO talented!!
I love music with drone bass. Hits me different somehow.
Beautiful performance, thank you!
What an amazing music instrument, It makes me want to dance and sing along
Amazing, thanks for introducing me to this cool instrument. I always loved the organ.
How wonderful to see a portable organ for real rather than in a mediaeval picture and the sound is much lovelier than I expected. Thank you so much for posting!
Thank you for introducing us to a new instrument and how amazing it sounds.
Your performance is just stunning, I am very glad I discovered your channel and subscribed. Thank you a lot!
what a lovely sound!
I have never heard of this instrument before. But I like it. And she does a great job. Very enjoyable.
Fascinating instrument! Never saw or heard one before. I'm into massive Gothic cathedral pipe organs, but this is really cool!
Such passion!
This is lovely and gorgeous at the same time. It is lovgoreous!
What a cool instrument - great playing and I like the sound.
Your passionate performance style is very inspiring!
VeryBadTim deux ans aprem quelqu’un te réponds
Wonderfull little organ, lovely music and beautifull playing - thankyou for posting
Surprisingly expressive instrument, in her masterful hands.
Thanks for sharing this kind of beautiful music with us.
I have always loved drone instruments/music, and have listened to many types of drone instruments, but I have never heard this one before.
It has a very special sound. Nice reverb in that room too.
The composition by Carson Cooman, “Rondeau” *from* “Tres Novas Cantigas” *(2014),* is extraordinarily evocative and beautiful, and obviously superbly well played by Catalina Vicens. Really transporting music.
😎🎹
Qué hermosa música y que hermosa mujer, además de un gran sentimiento. Felicidades!.
Gracias por compartir tu talento, saludos desde la Ciudad de México.
Che musica divina, sembra una pastorale natalizia !
Beautiful to listen to and watch
I can't listen to this beautiful piece once. I end up listening to this over and over at least ten times. So much happens. It never sounds the same. This peace is so beautiful! I close my eyes and it's like I am transported to another world. Sometimes I can't help it but weep at the beauty I am hearing.
Manuel Driggs thank you so much!
On the really old organs, there used to be two men in the back of the organ taking turns stepping on an air mechanism that send air through the organ. They had to time themselves perfectly to make sure there was airflow that never stopped.
Vic Wat bellows, are what they’re called
@@anthonydeville5976 haha, ty
The sound feels like it transports you directly back in time.
Wonderful!
I've never seen this intrument played before, I love the sound... thank you so much for sharing....
It reminds me of music/instruments from the game Crystal Chronicles 💖
That sounds awesome!
I’m not sure what’s more gorgeous, the instrument or the musician playing it
Beautiful
Awesome! Never seen that instrument before.
I love it.
Pythagorean temperament is so good on a pipe organ
The variation in bellows pressure to vary the tembre of the instrument by forcing overtones... you'd think she was playing with multiple ranks of full pipes. Absolutely stunning mastery of such an esoteric (to the modern audience) instrument.
Positive Vibes from Brazil!
Thank you so much Catalina, I listened to all your videos, a very nice collection, I am so lucky that I can hear, and that my ears are open to all kinds of music. I love watching and listening to you play, very talented indeed, I also love how you and the instrument are at one with one another, the instrument loves to be adored by you, new subscriber, take care x
I totally adore you…..i wish you all the best from Italy…..take care and keep playing..❤️
What a beautiful instrument. Thanx for sharing
Very special instrument! Great performance!
That is so cool! Instantly mesmerized by the music and the instrument.
Wow, my favorite instrument is the king of instruments, but I never knew it came in a portable version. Thanks for posting!
Magnífico , que arte tan hermoso ,.la Música Medieval es misteriosa hermosa , me encanta ♥️

Oh my god! What a wonderful instrument and music! And how marvelous musician you are.. :)
Uuu... I think i NEED to have organetto..
Мне больше всего понравились искренние эмоции этой девушки, музыка затронула моё Русские сердце ❤😢 Это безупречно!
Amen! to all the compliments contained herein and to the lovely little tremolo effect in the slower section.
Schön, in einer Zeit zu leben, wo man sowas sehen und hören kann. Wirklich inspirierend! Auch das Album dazu ist magisch.
Enjoyed and love the medieval music. Lovely playing! 🌟💕👍🏻
