Cantigas de Santa Maria: 260, 158 & 100 - Alfonso X el Sabio
We start off with a call to faith - #260 'Dized' ai trobadores',
Say, o troubadours: the Lady of Ladies—
Why do you not worship her?
If you know how to sing, and have God in mind,
Why do you not worship her?
The Lady who gives life and is full of goodness,
Why do you not worship her?
The one who never lies to us and feels our pain,
Why do you not worship her?
The one who is more than good and forgives through God,
Why do you not worship her?
The one who gives us guidance in life and death,
Why do you not worship her?
The one who makes the dead live, and who succours us,
Why do you not worship her?
Then we have a miracle, #158 'De muitas guisas los presos solta a mui gloriosa' with a reading in English ~
And finally a chant in praise of the Rose of roses, Flower of flowers, Lady of ladies and Lord of lords, # 100 'Santa maria, Strela do Dia'
Mary, magnified be,
with Daystar beside thee;
show the way where bide we
true to God and thou our guide be.
For thou art light that lost souls driven
near perdition, e'er with sin ill striven,
know that they with guilt sore riven
stand; but through thee are forgiven
and from their pride free
where they ne'er idly
let passion denied be
bout did all sense defied see.
These are recordings from three groups I was fortunate enough to work with as a singer, the last piece on here is one of the most beautiful melodies ever, in my opinion!
Now you know why I post all this music, my plan was, all along, to show you the wonders of our holy mother, Blessèd Mary, so that you too may worship her and be savèd from the burden of reason.

Vera, these are beautiful!
I actually did a pretty detailed assessment of medieval music in my journal. I think it's not given near the respect it's due, since it was pretty much the birth of music as we know it: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4295316/

Great research there! And yeah, the middle ages brought about the beginnings of modern notation, polyphony and melodic rules. Plus the Chantilly Codex has some of the most intriguing pieces of music,some paralleling early 20th century techniques! Sort of, anyway, heh.
Glad you enjoyed them! They were very wonderful to play, now, did I manage to make you see the light? :3

Well that's it, I have seen the light and witnessed the face of God itself. The beauty of these songs is what's done me in, I'm afraid. You promised me I wouldn't convert, Vera, you promised! :(
But in all seriousness, this is some suuuuper amazing work! I don't know what words I can use to describe this that I haven't already used for some of your other music... I might just have to start re-using my praises if you keep this up! Or I could always pull out a dictionary.

There's modern sacred music? I only hear gospel choirs, some simple hymns and some strange sort of Christian rock / rap which I'd hesitate to call music; that's what happens when you fall to the level of the common man rather than try to lift them up into a new state of existence! I wonder if Arvö Part counts as sacred music...
I personally prefer a very energetic recording I have of Machaut's Messe de Notre Dame. It's very silly.
And thank you! I'm glad you think so, heh. This was the people's semi-sacred music, not related to the Mass in any particular way other than in subject. Did you see God after listening? That's the important part.

Lovely performance as always. And theres just something about the brimstone christianity of the medieval that produces such magnificent tragedies, and such subtle satire. I see it comparable to how Franco affected the spanish surrealist movement.
Oh, and forgive my ignorance, but what is that droning instrument in the last piece? I cant make out wether it's some sord of reed or an organistrum.

I only exist to spread the story of our Mother in heaven. It is her will that this music will appease the listener and break him from earthly bonds. I always think that the best art comes from oppression of one form or another, because only then are you forced to express your dissent through allegory. And when viewed through the lens of history then the tales take on a much grander imagery because they not only represent a great period or great persons but a battle for freedom or grandeur, I think, anyway! Sadly I'm not well versed in art history, I know that early music was filled with musical messages - melodies or progressions that symbolized something concrete - and there you find the pleasantries of satire and jokes. Du Fay wrote a Mass over a song that traditionally was a call to arms, maybe it wasn't intended by him, but i find that writing religious music over a war chant means something, haha!
And I don't remember exactly what instrument it was... It was certainly a reed (and not a drone! Listen carefully, it's playing a melody), hearing it again I would say that it's either a crumhorn, maybe a shawm - could have been a cornamuse, but whatevs.
