Thank you Mirko for another stunning achievement in rendering this 1974 album of which many younger lovers of medieval music would be unaware, as well as older ones like me. This is an astonishing Lute Fest and what a terrific line up of juicy early dance music for these now legendary players to sink their fingers into. This is the Bluegrass of the high medieval, played virtuosically by O'Dette at 21 years of age, Hoppy not yet 30 and even Binkley in his 40s, who must have been a demigod to these pioneers of the next generation. The chittara saracenica seems to be a fretted oud. What a sound! One point - is it a misprint for Binkley to be listed as flute, not lute? Small thing on a big ship but he was renowned as a lutenist and surely taught the younger members. Oh to see a video of this performance. Where Murmur Mori is perfection in the intimate, this is perfection in the grand and a total joy. Thanks again - Martin
I have the original album, and Binkley is listed on the back cover as playing Flöte. (The liner notes, in German, English, and French, make it clear that "Flöte" means "Recorder"). I wish I had a CD of this recording, but as far as I can tell none was ever made. ☹
This is a clear example of why such philosophical discussions raged at the Third Triennial Congress of the Courtly Literature Society, whose meeting was held in Athens, GA in 1976. There were heated debates at that time as to whether or not Arabic influence affected the performance of European medieval music, and the very effective results, as were exemplified by this Studio der frühen Musik an der Schola Cantorum Basiliensis recording under the direction of Thomas Binkley and this 1974 album "Estampie" issued on EMI that took a year of preparation to complete. The exciting results of that project convinced many people at that time of the truth of this hypothesis.
About two centuries later, good old Attaignant published (among many other pieces by several known or anonymous authors), a saltarello named Haulberroys: it just sounds like the lute adaptation of the first track, here, brushed up and adapted to the Renaissance musical taste. Regardless of my anecdotal mutterings, this is yet another precious video released by this more than worthy channel!
It seems strange to speak of music 600+ years old as "fresh", but that's just how these pieces feel: fresh and lively, ready for dancing. Sound quality is very good, and your idea of pairing the music with the manuscript worked out well. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I'll try my best to put timestamps on these... 0:00 Saltarello 5:47 Istanpitta Gaetta 12:03 La Manfredina Und Rotta 14:29 Istanpitta Palamento 22:05 Istanpitta Belicha 30:32 Lamento De Tristano Und Rotta 34:34 Istanpitta Isabella 41:56 Istanpitta Principio Di Virtu Not sure if I made a mistake or not, this is the best I could do.
Thank you so much for this. So much fun to hear Paul O'Dette, Hoppy Smith, and Cathy Lidell in their musical infancy. Any idea what a Chitarra Saracenica is?

Didn't you already post this once before expect here it with the original notes instead of imagery?
Thank you so much for this. So much fun to hear Paul O'Dette, Hoppy Smith, and Cathy Lidell in their musical infancy. Any idea what a Chitarra Saracenica is?
Saracen = an old name for Muslims/Moors. So I would guess it is a Middle Eastern / Arab instrument.
Partee like it's 1099🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
