- I've been planning for a year to post this and I've finally managed to do it. One of the best songs from "The Shape of the Medieval Music to Come" by Vox Vulgaris... In which the flute is absolutely brilliant. I haven't got time to search for all the authors of the pictures I put with the movie so I apologize to any of them if they find their work here.
I work at this Medieval Center here in Denmark. And every time we are having knight-battles, our orchestra is playing this music. Absolutely love it!
I’ve never heard of a medieval center but it sounds really cool!
Its been 12 years now,how’s life ?
Is it moesgaard?
Wow, this song was made in 2009 but people are still listening to it 11 years later. What a timeless song!
So glad to be in the generation that grew up with this!
This song was surely made before 2009 😊 like by a few centuries?
@@moonjavaart This song is an interpretation of the original song. We don't know how it actually sounded, as medieval music was written down in a more vague format than what we have now from the classical music composers. Specially in the case of popular songs like this one. So this version was released in 2003 by Vox Vulgaris. We don't know exactly how the original sounded, so we can only hope it is a good interpretation of teh original.
@@emilioliano9411 interesting, we can only imagine I guess. Unless some songs have been sung by grand parents and kept alive that way
Bro this song is from 1340
This music helps me when I feel bad. It makes me feel again, makes me go on, reminds that every problem I have people faced and coped long before I was born.
You are going to overcome all the darkness that tries to enter your path! You got this!
This just shows me the medieval world more than any film or painting ever could. Simply astonishing to listen to.
It brings a tear to thine eye.
Life was bitter and hard so the parties had to be even harder. A lot of overdoses and murder, like college.
That age often is underestimated for the art that they produced. Like their music. It great to still have pieces from that time. Even without the romanticism of it.
Especially as by that time, plate-armored men-at-arms were being made obsolete with improving tactics and firearms.
@@LandersWorkshop Knights were not just soldiers. They were the protectors of the commonwealth. One of the codes of chivalry was to give your cloak to a woman when it was raining to shield her, or to lay your cloak on the floor in areas that women could not pass due to mud puddles, etc. The reason women walk on the left side of the side walk was so that the knight would receive the mud splash from the horses and carriages that road by. If only we European Aryans still held unto these values.
So many masterpieces like this one are lost. But they will be found one day, one way or another.
fantastic sounds. So uncommon to our ears. just wonderful.
Maybe so
The paradox is that now more people listen at this compared with then...
Love your choice of imagery. Authentic medieval illustrations. No wizards and dragons
But you know in the medieval mindset wizards and dragons use to exist. Dragons are the representation of the devil, and they were sometime inquisition and judgement against witch and wizards, which was some marginalized people beeing accused for some pagan behaviors in rude time. If you find a true medieval representation of it, so why not? For example Saint-Michel against the dragon in the apocalypse is a common representation in medieval era.
Fun fact, this song is taking directly from the manuscript Llibre Vermell de Montserrat.
but without lyrics...
+MrHestichs was this a real medieval music?
Karl Hans Yes.
How is this funny?
@@kagtkalem7115 i guess because nofuckingbody knows about catalan culture 🤷
I don’t know how many times i have listened to this music, marvellous!
True chivalry means being a good man - not for reward, and not in spite of consequence, but simply for the sake of doing what is right.
Top ten bangers of the 1500s
Takes me back to the summer of 1350...ah, those were the days, with all those plague victims rotting in shallow graves.
Close enough. This song appears in a codex written at 1399 (and probably it's older).
I still remember when we met at the tavern😅
I love the drum solo during the song, very well done
This song is from "Llibre Vermell de Monserrat" (Catalonia) in Spain in the Middle Age. There was a war for 800 years between Moors and Christians, do not go so far. Is very Spanish this song.
Aaaah yes the reconquista ,one of the greatest achievements of Christianity
@@georgegera5708 Not really its greatest achievement was creating a sort of unity among Europeans and destroying tribal lawlessness and savagery that is until the reformation by those Lutheran dogs...
@@NapoleonBonaparde i said one of the greatest not the greatest
@@inmortalimperioespanol-spa7461, Bonaparte is right, he only explained some of the effects of christianity in the western world and the damages done by luther. I dont think you understand witten english very well my dude.
@@inmortalimperioespanol-spa7461 Oh and best spain is Bourbon spain.
listening to this kind of music makes me travel trough time, i can't put in words what i feel... just so beautiful
Imagine how much more is there to explore. I'm sure that not all of the medieval songs were written down. To the New World!
Shout out to that one kid in the 12th century who was "born in the wrong generation"
this warmed my heart for some reason
@@ngastakvakis4425 you're ancestor was that kid and he got humbled hearing he got a shout out 8000 years later
@@tomh4754 shhh, shhh, SHHHH
Ayyy, dying of the plague sure is a better alternative than this 1984 hellscape.
@@liamhart1202 :)))))))))))
I'm glad I wasn't born in the Middle Ages, but this music almost transports me back in time, I feel like going to a Medieval ball or something!
Eastern Roman Empire = Greece & Western Europe = Friends ❤
Notwithstanding the arguments below, a truly sublime play list evocative of a simpler time long ago. Close your eyes and be transported to a tavern or a great house banquet of the 13 th century. Thank you.
This is the best performance of this piece I've ever heard! So much improvisation.
The first time i heard this song was in the cathedral of Vic, sung by a choir. Magical, great song
3:28-5:51 is epic *_*
These drums take u on a trip
This tune is the one used by Blackmore's night in their classic piece and video,
" Locked within the crystal ball"
This tune was also used by French group Tri Yann in song "Arthur Plantagenêt" (also known as "Arthur Plantagenest")
corvus corax have performed it as well, and i think it's the most majestic/epic version yet
It's also used by a medieval black metal band called 'Obsequiae' in their album 'Suspended in the brume of Eos'
It just gives me goose bumps just thinking how would it feel to be a patron in the 14th century.. I mean the times may've been crappy at some points, but the opportunity to see the middle ages of the civilizations is just plainly put fascinating. :)
The perfect combination of melody and the right instruments makes this song amazing, also great to throw into a game of Dungeons and Dragons!
The 19th century would have been great to live in in terms of music. But one benefit of living now is that we still get to listen to much of it, and - even better - we get to listen to such masterpieces as the Grosse Fugue in its true virtuosity - something that one wouldn't necessarily be able to dream of being able to do more than once or twice in your lifetime if you were lucky. I get to listen to it every day!
Stella Splendens ("Splendid Star") is a polyphonic song (fol. 21v-22), with two parts voices from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat
Eastern Roman Empire = Greece & Western Europe = Friends ❤
I love this old times like a travel , I close my eyes and ❤❤❤
Splendid. Beautiful. Comforting. I feel like exploring.
I can't.....can't...not to listen to these masterpiece's . I like liquid DnB and maybe this even more. Remember playing stronghold and this kind of music in the background. Ah....
That bass dropped harder than the walls of Constantinople in 1453
You're laughing ? Constantinople just fell and you're laughing ?
Maco13 The turkodox stank, mmmm, oof
Yes indeed hahaha
verily!
Too soon...
That time is so beautiful !
I love this. ..thanks for uploading, am really getting addicted to medieval music.
This has no business slapping as hard as it does
thank you.. Vox is the best
seeing what people are capable of i can only but agree , peace is , like gods , something unearthly and reserved for simple souls
Absolutely brilliant!
Felicitarile mele pt toate postarile.si eu iubesc muzica medievala.Numai bine!
Such a beautiful tune!
1.6 million views. Holy fuck! I fucking love all of you for this. These are some of my most favourite songs. Nice to meet so many brothers and sisters.
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of early music on youtube, in my opinion. It reminds me of all that we have lost in the nihilistic march forth into modernity. Music like this makes a soul that has even the faintest evidence of a warm coal left in it yearn for the simplicity and order, however brutal, of a former era.
So edge. Such soul. Much deep.
@@dustyjuiceboy Nice dead meme, almost as old as the song. Impressive.
@@dustyjuiceboy I remeber those days of order and faith, and service to the doge of venice.
@@John--Silver Yeah now Doge is a racist with a foot fetish
Wow, you're so profound. Wish I could die of an infected wound malnourished at age 40 after giving half my harvest to the lord like my ancestors 😤😤😤
One of the best rendition of this song!
Ritchie Blackmore lifted a lot of medieval melodies and "made them his own," to put it politely.

True Renaissance tradition. "Locked into a crystal ball"
Virelai/danse: Stella Splendens (fol. 22r) ("Splendid Star") is from The Llibre Vermell de Montserrat which was compiled in, and is still located at, the monastery of Montserrat outside Barcelona.
The manuscript was prepared in approximately 1399.
It originally contained 172 double pages, of which 32 have been lost. Six folios contain music.
The title "The Red Book of Montserrat" describes the red binding in which the collection was placed in the 19th century.
No composer is identified for any of the songs it contains.
One day I'd like to create a medieval game with futuristic elements. Whenever I see beautiful castles, like the cathar castles, then my heart thrives to recreate them. But my lazyness + the need to earn money to survive is killing me... Very ironic that those activities that keep me alive actually kill me inside.
i feel you bro
Enjoy the music regardless of any culture it truly is magical.
Orgulloso de mis raíces españolas, nací en Chile, pero no puedo negar mi etnia y mis antepasados, que probablemente eran conquistadores y llegaron a las Américas...
Regarding the bagpipes, they are an ancient instrument. The Hittites are the earliest people known to have used them (and they existed as contemporaries with the New Kingdom of Egypt...so roughly 3000 years ago and well before the years of Arabic influence). The most famous country to use them, Scotland, is first recorded using them in the 1300's...so that might have been an Arabic influence, but even that is uncertain. There is always the possibility of simultaneous invention.
When you begin a new run of your favourite RPG.
" In which the flute is absolutely brilliant." YES!
thank you for some intelligence and all praise be to the All Father and the Goddess
You're about 1,500 years late, pal
Absolutely fabulous; if music were food, this would be a large piece of tiramisu. Made from scratch by someone's Italian grandmother.
The first illustration is from Theodor Baierl. Don Quixote with Death, based on 'The Knight, Death and the Devil' by Albrecht Durer
Thanks! Helpfull
Amazing medieval vibes... I love it
simplesmente maravilhoso !thanks for sharing !
@SoldierofMetal1 The piece is believed to have been written by the 14th C. French poet and musician Guillaume De Machaut, who was pretty heavily influenced by the Arabian instruments imported to Europe following the Crusades. The stringed instrument that Stella Splendens was originally intended for was probably the uud/oud, a Middle-Eastern predecessor of the lute. This recording could well have been performed on a lute accompanied by the bagpipes (another Arabian import), and a flute.
For some reason this music inspires me to create a medieval/fantasy world for a video game :D
For some reason?^^
thank you so much for uploading this wonderful song!!
I think it actually refers to the "Voice of the people" - which is also vulgar. I think the word has several senses.
Espectacular!! estudiando historia del arte medieval con ésta música!!
This is my favourite version of Stelle splendens. One might even call it splendid
"I behold at thee all seeth loveth th're yond's slumbering while mine lute gently weeps"
Dear Medieval Musicians and Scribes who wrote down the music,
I AM FROM THE FUTURE AND I BRING YOU..... TIME SIGNATURES!! Please use! We have no idea if we've got this music right, but it sure sounds good this way, so we're gonna roll with it.
Sincerely,
Your great,great,great,great,great,great,.... great, grandchildren.
First picture is called "Don Quixote Knight and Death" by Theodor Baierl

No you don't. Trust me on that.
Medieval music and andean music is great.....
I'm really like this music, I found this music from tiktok, I'm Arosha from sri lanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰 AYUBOWAN ආයුබෝවන් 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
this song made me write a whole story... I feel so accomplished and its such a mysterious song i love it
could you link to the story ? :3
This was written 7 years ago and people are asking them for that xd
(share the story if you can :D)
@Lucius Faust Vinland is so good. I never imagined Japanese artists can capture vikings so well.
dude is going wild on the drums
Gorgeous. Thank you.
My knowledge is probably flawed. I've encountered the Hittite origins before, but as Stella Splendens was, to my knowledge, written as a pilgrimage song, I was basing my understanding of Machaut's choice of instrument upon the cultural borrowing which followed the Crusades for the Christian Holy Lands, the first of which preceded Machaut's composition of the piece by 2 - 3 centuries.
Amazing song, amazing period.
Очень красиво 😊
Como português, revisito as minhas raízes, transporto-me para aqueles tempos... BELÍSSIMO!!! LINDO!!!!
Great! 😊
Grandes!! me encanta su música... Algún día espero verlos en concierto y gracias por existir!!!
Esta versión no está mal, pero si quieres oírla en su esplendor, te recomiendo que la oigas a Jordi Savall- Esperion XXI, que son los auténticos especialistas en el medieval español.
Admiro a Jordi Savall por su perfección en la interpretación y he seguido su música desde hace algun tiempo, sin embargo, todo grupo tiene su sello propio aunque hagan tan sólo interpretaciones. El power que tiene Vox Vulgaris, no lo tiene Jordi Savall... y eso me encanta!!!
The fusion of Andalusian and Arabic music with European music, so much beauty, i imagine those times. (not talking about wars, but actual art and culture exchange)
I know it was from a Catalonian manuscript (and that Spain had a lot of Arabic influences regarding art) but I'm curious: what in this song in particuliar can be linked with Arabic arts? To me this particular piece sounds really European-ish and the wiki page don't mention much about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llibre_Vermell_de_Montserrat#The_music
Actually to me it sounds a lot like what was made in France back then. But maybe I just can't notice the subtilities.
I recognize the oud (which came from Arab lands to the East), which started the track off at the beginning. But the melody does sound European.
No busques donde no hay. Esto no es arábico ni andusí. Música cristiana
I always think I wish I could travel to medieval times then realize I'd probably be dead within days.
Himaryous
hmm, well I think you'd be safe considering our bodies are quite adjusted to many different types of sickness. The only thing you'd have to adjust to is the putrid smell of humans and waste. The average person took a bath twice a year in England.
Good song.
Change the playback speed to feel like a king ordering the musicians to play faster or slower...
Hahahahaha! Well played.
1分を過ぎてから曲が盛り上がる。この曲の題名はラテン語で日本語に直せば「星の輝き」。序盤の静かな１分の効果なのか、まるで遥か昔の伝説を語る時のBGMに流れそうな曲。
musique du sud de la france et du nord de l'espagne
Vox Vulgaris is the players. Stella Splendens is one of the "cantigas del llibre vermell " of Montserrat monastery in Spain.
The quest toward inner purification is infinite, and it is scanned by steps that might lead to unknown lands of foolishness. The choice of chevalry was in Middle Age a necessity, something one could not elude. Nowadays, same features are recognizeable: but delayed, betrayed, obstacled or forgotten by ease and solidarity. As Montaigne said in his Essays, children should be left sometimes in the muds to learn the way.

Poetic, thank you
Very nice.
The tune is so beautiful in this song. I love the flute at 5:23.
Amazing music!
"Llibre vermell de Montserrat" there is where compiled this work, you may find interpretations of this theme, very faithful to the original by Jordi Savall.
10 year gem. Dang, this sounds so nice.
it's really beautiful music I really wish I lived in that time:D it was so much better than 20th
Nine years later...hope you are well Ermina.
Boom Dos Naaah this world is a fucking mess 😂😭 🤡
thank you for your labor
Thanks excelent!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
It's just amazing I fell in love with this song
Beautiful! Very inspiring.
Very good song :) Medieval Age
Oh my Sweet God. This just wonderful.

My friend introduced me to this epic song i hope he sees this commenter
Simplemente hermoso.
Thank you so much, I wish you many blessings.
When in the 1500s was this recorded?
late 1500s, early 1500s didn't have this kind of quality
Bitcrusher 😄😄😄
Jarick Caesar
Better quality of pen, ink and paper.
there weren't any cameras or audio tape footage until like early 1900's
Yeah I'm pretty sure I got their EP on Limewire, so that's late 16th century
