    This melody is from a breakup song called “Now, O now I needs must part,” published by English composer and lutenist John Dowland in 1597. The instrumental version is called “The Frog Galliard.” A galliard is a Renaissance era dance that was enjoyed by Queen Elizabeth I. Why is it called “The Frog”? According to my research, no one knows.

    I love that Natalie is getting her money's worth for that harpsichord, and feeding us while doing so no less

    It breaks my heart that with this video I can't say Natalie is "Just like me frfr" anymore as she has become too cool for me to ever possibly be like her 😔

    I feel like I should be sipping absinthe and telling rude stories about Louis XIV.

    as someone with a degree in music theory, I feel qualified to say that Dowland's Final Fantasy IX vibes were off the charts

    I watched this twice and now my home page on youtube is filled with Clavinets, Fortepianos, cembalino and other weirder period keyboard instruments. It's one of the better gifts Contrapoints has given me as a fan.
