Murmur Mori 🌹

What would probably scandalize the jongleurs, if they lived today, would not be seeing their lyrics performed, but witnessing a show without Love.
This belief generates the original expressiveness that characterizes the engaging concerts of the murmur mori ensemble where the audience often finds itself having an active role during the performance.
Inspired by the popular Muse and the realities in which she still survives, since 2015 Mirkò Virginio Volpe and Silvia Kuro have been investigating jongleurs poetry and music from the 8th to the 13th century, working directly on the original sources, bringing the earliest lyrics and melodies from Italy back to life.

𓃘 Orientis Partibus: medieval holiday song for the Ass - Murmur Mori
Songs for the holiday season? Here is Orientis Partibus, the ass song!
Which period, if not the Middle Ages, could have generated such an ironic and original song? Behind this composition, which dates back to the 13th century and is preserved within the manuscript "Officium stultorum ad usum Metropoleos ac primatialis Ecclesiae Sennonensis", preserved at the Municipal Library of Sens, lies one of the most incredible feasts of the medieval centuries: the "Feast of the Ass" strictly connected to the "Feast of Fools", probably a Christian adaption of the pagan Roman feast named "Cervulus".
In the Middle Age there was a conception of the sacred and the profane very different from ours, and this feast, which goes so far as to dramatise the religious service itself including the participation of donkeys to the mass, makes an excellent example. It has to be noted that during the medieval centuries churches were multipurpose places in which, other than the celebration of the Holy Mass, gatherings and pacification of disputes took place; in times of need they also became hospitals for pilgrims and the sick, as well as shelters for the persecuted. It often happened that animals found their way inside, so it should not be surprising that, during particular feasts, clergymen danced near the tabernacle, while donkeys were led among the aisles and were adorned in sumptuous caparison.
Why all this happened?
In ancient times animals held great importance, and the donkey, being very much present in people's daily lives, was given many symbolic meanings. The donkey came to be identified as a symbol of "Goodness", being it as wise as Balaam's jennet and a patient mount not only for humble people, but also for prophets and Jesus himself; but the donkey is also a symbol of "Evil" since the times of ancient Egypt, being connected to Seth; Christians contrasted it with the ox, the symbol of Christianity, in Jesus' nativity hut. Because of his enormous phallus, he is also deemed to be pagan and desirous of the carnal pleasures of life, like Apuleius's Golden ass or Dionysus's. Jesus' triumphal entry in Jerusalem by donkey back represents the victory of Christianity over the ancient gods, and the cross the donkey carries on its back hints at the one carried by Jesus to Mount Calvary.
The ass was therefore celebrated during the winter holidays, and in an age of such wealth in art and music, songs were written for the donkey to accompany these processions in his honour. Orientis Partibus is one of them; it is attributed to the French the Archbishop of Sens Pierre de Corbeil, who lived between the 12th and 13th centuries. This is our ass shaking version: enjoy the listen, have a good winter!

This is just so fun, with wonderful droll medieval humor! I would love it to become a regular feature in the Christmas pantheon, especially because it’s 1 million times better than ‘Dominic the Donkey, but also because poor old Dominic needs to be retired….desperately, lol!

This is excellent. I cannot help but notice more than a passing resemblance to "Bacche Bene Venies" in the structure of this song. Was this done on purpose by either the original creators or you?
We stuck to the music reported in the manuscript that you can see at the end of the video. The music has some similarities with Bacche bene venies, which is not surprising because in medieval music these things often happen. Bacche bene venies is in turn a contrafactum of "Jubilemus Regi nostro" from the Ludus Danielis. 🌹
@@MurmurMori Thankyou so much for your answer. I had suspected that what i was hearing was the "recycling" of themes and melodies reworked between musical pieces you are describing. Now i need to track down this "Jubilius Regi Nostro" piece you mention Thankyou again
