Hildegard von Bingen: O virtus sapientiae (in 7-limit just intonation)
O virtus sapientiae by Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), performed by Isabela Tanashian, using the following scale:
1/1, 21/20, 7/6, 4/3 (alt. 21/16), 3/2, 14/9, 7/4, 2/1

O virtus Sapientie,
que circuiens circuisti,
comprehendendo omnia
in una via que habet vitam,
tres alas habens,
quarum una in altum volat
et altera de terra sudat
et tercia undique volat.
Laus tibi sit, sicut te decet, O Sapientia.
O Wisdom’s energy!
Whirling, you encircle
and everything embrace
in the single way of life.
Three wings you have:
one soars above into the heights,
one from the earth exudes,
and all about now flies the third.
Praise be to you, as is your due, O Wisdom.

(To hear how the modulation could continue upward: on.soundcloud.com/GV2NjbwRq8s44Ht16) n.b. if this were played in equal temperament, no modulation would take place.

me foaming at the mouth for just intonation
I wish Mr. MacMillan would tell the world what (if anything) this video is intended to demonstrate, and to explain how the final tonic ended up flatter than the initial one. Without this information, as far as the average person can tell, it's just an unattractive and perverse interpretation of a much-loved piece of music.
Temperaments are attempts to tune as many just intervals (simple proportions like 3:2 and 5:4) as possible within a limited set of notes, so as to make performance more practical, as well as to prevent the tonic from drifting. But tempered (i.e. not-perfectly-in-tune) intervals still refer to just intervals. That's why we like perfect fifths, major triads, dominant 7ths, etc., and why we use temperaments that represent these intervals fairly well. The closer you tune to the just version (e.g. 3:2), the more in-tune the interval sounds, generally speaking. My arrangements are experiments of a sort, designed to show the just intonation realization of what these tempered pieces imply. I believe these are the Platonic chords Bach is implying. There is a certain uncanniness, at least at first, in hearing familiar pieces and instruments destabilized, and by how quickly the different chords go by (if it were 5x slower, I suspect very few people would protest) - and it is far from perfect, since Bach often implies multiple just-intonation sonorities/relationships at once, and choosing one does violence to the other. This was the first arrangement of this sort I did - I've since found that other pieces (like the Shostakovich A Major Fugue, or anything by Scriabin, Satie, Debussy, or Pärt) tend to sound more conventionally agreeable.
its very cool but it makes my body churn why does it sound so out of tune😆great work though
beautiful did you play this?
Thank you, yeah I did
ah, my absolute favorite of the preludes and fugues...first time i heard it my whole spirit lifted up...oddly, that was the keith jarret recording. i like his classical piano , and dont care for the jazz..
Unbelievably beautiful. And trance inducing too!
Brilliant intonation, superb!
how do i hold the bass g while pedaling during the musettes section
I love how tonality has just become what we barely percieve shifting in the background still manages to somehow convince us that everything has all the time been kinda still...😂
oh dear, another Scriabin..
You just never expect when the shift of a pitch hits ya.
Love what you’re doing on this channel!
Very cool stuff! I wonder what it would look like in HEJI
was this a 12-tone scale? i like to play his pieces on an old yamaha workstation synth that has 5-limit tunings. I always get a different flavor around the major key changes depending on which scale i pick. I'm curious how you handled the F minor section. I also heard two different B naturals in the beginning when you begin the D minor/D diminished melody.
much more than 12, I think I used at least 3-4 scales to get all the different keys do you mean how I arrived at the F minor section? the 7:6 third from the A minor chord becomes the 3:2 fifth of the F minor. Then the F becomes the 7:6 third of the D, bringing us back from the "septimal" plane to the "normal" plane and yeah, the second D (0:38) darkens to 13:8!
how did you even do this?? did you just recreate the sounds? re-pitch the recording??
the Twin Peaks Archive has a drums + bass version and a drums + clarinets version, which I de-noised to minimize the superfluous drums, then retuned both tracks in Melodyne and added my own vibes, rhodes and organs
@@JustMusic1685 damn, i'd love a tutorial on that. removing drums is something i've tried and given up on plenty of times.
this is so niche 😂
Hmmm Cool!
I wish it's longer. BTW are you into Cardiacs?
I like the color representation!
neat little riff is the soprano voice in m. 11 the 11th harmonic over the bass?
Yeah (sorry I forgot to include that in the accidental key!)
What satisfying and dream-like changes. The arrangement matches the feel perfectly too.
a lovely demonstration of what can be done in JI. thanks!
Beautiful harmonies and intertwined subtle movement!
that 13th harmonic hits soooooo good 🤤🤤🤤
Great Piece!
is this 7-limit?
lol, i just read the description
beautiful!
Incredible! Can you do a video of your workflow for deciding these tunings? I'm interested in doing something similar with a choir I'm part of!
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely consider it for the future!
Fascinating, are you using the 13th harmonic for the bottom note of those trills at the beginning?
Yeah - good ear!
Incredible work!
stunning!!!
Triggers much more emotions than ET. 🍵😇 {["Though I spotted one singular off note lol"]} And best of all: You didn't pitch drift it away!!!! Very wise transcription.
bravo!
My guess is there are some 10/9 lesser whole tones
13/12, with 7/6 minor thirds
Crunchy
Ooooo I love it what is the tuning scheme?
Thanks so much! If you want to see my notes (using Johnston accidentals) drive.google.com/file/d/1BNjFt7STS0nNbOxR88vX2eOmRMHFVu4K/view?usp=drive_link The ostinato goes 1/1, 13/12, 7/6, the rest more or less falls into place
oh that E is so flat
This is just such a colorful piece - even though it’s incredibly awkward to play. Amazingly beautiful 😍
Sounds like gamelan music
so many people doesn't hear music with multidimensional perspective. and I just cope everyone appreciate that.
This is out of tune. Tune it in Pythagorean tuning, you will hear it for the first time.
sounds just awful...
Very harsh!!!
Interesting... that so many people find this music lovely... I find it bordering on a totally empty exercise in insipid and bland arpeggio's. There is no meat on the bones of this composition,... save at one point. I think I read elsewhere about Shostakovich, making up rules for "perfect music" that would only contain "consonant harmonies" within the key, and that for instance in a measure that outlined a "c" chord ,... a "b" note could not occur, but would have to wait for a measure containing say notes in a "g" chord. The results are so vacuously empty, reminding me of those Wyndham hill records ... was that the label? George Winston or some such. This piece could be labeled "Sparkling White Snow on a Crisp New England Winter"..... If You listen to this music long enough, Your brain could evaporate, or melt into library paste.... I hope You realize , I say this with some bemused humor! bla bla bla. For those saying this is beautifully played ,... I am pretty sure this is a quantized midi performance on an "e" piano.
Very nice!
Music in Heaven.
Sorry; I’m not going to watch this, although it was recommended to me. The WHOLE POINT of this music is that the tuning was TEMPERED! Not bland equal temperament as on modern pianos, but asymmetrical so as to slightly favor the more common keys such as C major. Bach himself made many statements against pure thirds (as in meantone), and his music generally does not work in J.I. - not even aesthetically.
Fair enough
Exuberant!
