- John Sheppard's musical composition (probably of around 1550) of the medieval antiphon (text) "Media Vita in Morte Sumus", which probably dates from about 750 AD.
The English translation of this text approximates to:
"In the midst of life we are in death
of whom may we seek for succour,
but of thee, O Lord, who for our sins art justly displeased?
Yet, O Lord God most holy, O Lord most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour,
deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death."
This performance was recorded by the Gabrieli Consort, conducted by Paul McCreesh, in 2006. It is taken from the album "The Road to Paradise".
The connotation "Healing music" has a reason. In general, music can have healing effects if the following conditions are met:
(1) The composition and arrangement are of an otherworldly quality;
(2) The performing musicians were in perfect flow during the recording;
(3) The engineering and production of the music are experienced to be suitably inspired by the composition and recording;;
(4) The listener feels invited to, so to speak, "letting go & letting come" and become immersed in the musical experience.
I feel this piece of music certainly meets the first three criteria; the fourth, of course, is entirely up to you.
Thank you -not only for this beautiful, inspired piece of music but also for your inspired words about the healing quality of certain music. Warmly, Rita

Beautiful beyond words
wonderfull great to hear this performance
Gorgeous!
Een hele mooie uitvoering Jan Willem .Dank voor de upload .Thuis heb ik die van The Sixteen .Ook heel mooi !
Useful to know this is at written pitch as per Jason Smart Edition ( unlike the Tallis Scholars’ recording which is a tone up)
Thank you! I hadn't realized that...
@@janwillemvanaalst I just came here from the Tallis version, which sounds raw and somewhat strained by comparison
Jason Smart’s edition is already transposed up a tone from the original notation.
INCREDIBLE 😇😊
More info - but not very complete, on the Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_vita_in_morte_sumus . This text has a long and complex history. The music example above was rarely performed - in a liturgical context - in its day. Compline in plainchant/gregorian chant is a short service - no more than 15/20 minutes. This piece is 20 minutes on its own. Not conducive in to a monastic or canonical environment where all were longing to get to bed. After all, matins was only a few hours after compline! It was never performed in a concert environment until the 20th century.
Hermoso !!!
Esta música sublime muestra que incluso en una alcantarilla mental como el catolicismo, pueden florecer hermosas plantas
Aunque no lo quieras reconocer, tu cultura está entrelazada con esa "alcantarilla mental" por dos milenios. Respeta nuestras raices
That "mental sewer" was a blessing to many and keeps being so. Until you show me an organisation that is run by men that is totally devoid of some degree of corruption, keep your hate to yourself.
