@@unkouwnfigure2746 As much as I know people don't like the weather of London and so Yorkshire's I think. I wonder if this is true because I am personally in love with grey skies and wonder whether most of the people really find it boring.
It soothes all my burden of the day. It has deep melancholy notes I always feel tranquility in my restless mind. I listen this magnum opas. Millions of thanks to the uploader.... 😊
I’m going through a phase at the moment of transcribing old medical folk songs into violin, sounds great, remember , there the original pop songs of the day
Amelia Peabody Emerson sings this to her son when he is injured in “He Shall Thunder in the Sky” by Elizabeth Peters. I’m so glad I could hear you sing it. It wasn’t a ballad I had ever heard.
There were three ravens sat on a tree, Downe a downe, hay downe, a downe, They were as black as they might be. With a downe, downe, downe Then one of them said to his mate, Where shall we now our breakfast take? With a downe, derrie, derrie, downe, downe. Down in yonder dear green field, Downe a downe, hay downe, a downe, There lies a Knight slain under his shield, With a downe, downe, downe His hounds they lie down at his feet, So well do they their Master keep, With a downe, derrie, derrie, downe, downe. His hawks they fly so eagerly, Downe a downe, hay downe, a downe, There's no fowl dare him come nie With a downe, downe, downe Down there comes a fallow Doe, As great with young as she might go, With a downe, derrie, derrie, downe, downe. She lifted up his bloody head, Downe a downe, hay downe, a downe, And kissed his wounds that were so red, With a downe, downe, downe She got him up upon her back, And carried him to earthen lake, With a downe, derrie, derrie, downe, downe. She buried him before the prime, Oh derrie She was dead herself ere euen-song time. God send every gentleman, Such hawks, such hounds, and such a Leman

I think about depression and why its more commen all though the comment below is slightly true but when rome left it was not the dark ages we flurished learnt how to write and play new music they had not choice but to fight plague and work hard its what made them a much stronger creative race they dont work they die .. we have everything today and we look at other peoples lives more then our own yes it was hard back then and life was short but least the world back then had some balance now its just outta control whats next THE DAY AFTER ToMMoRROW 😂
I'd watch my wife die in childbirth, then lose my child to the plague and join the crusades where I'd abandon my post and live out my days on the island of Crete writing ballads.
British culture and in particular, English culture is reviled by the "Elites" of our country, how long this will last I don't know, but they are killing what is left of our cultural heritage!
I had always thought of The Three Ravens as a madrigal, but that was because I didn't know until now that a madrigal has to follow a pattern same as limericks have to follow a pattern. So, The Three Ravens is a ballad.
Medieval in the sense the song is old? Medieval in the sense this is a modern recording? Although the lyrics were not written down until the 17th century, the concept and tune probably date to the medieval. To our ears, it has a similar vibe to medieval song

Just try to listen to this music when you see autumn and cloudy weather. Close your eyes, and feel whatever comes to your mind.
Yorkshire, Yorkshire comes to my mind

Yes, the piercing notes of sadness and melancholy fill my soul with the worms of content

Very beautiful! This is enchanting. Your voice is unique

The best Male rendition of the song.
There were three ravens sat on a tree,
Downe a downe, hay downe, a downe,
They were as black as they might be.
With a downe, downe, downe
Then one of them said to his mate,
Where shall we now our breakfast take?
With a downe, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.
Down in yonder dear green field,
Downe a downe, hay downe, a downe,
There lies a Knight slain under his shield,
With a downe, downe, downe
His hounds they lie down at his feet,
So well do they their Master keep,
With a downe, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.
His hawks they fly so eagerly,
Downe a downe, hay downe, a downe,
There's no fowl dare him come nie
With a downe, downe, downe
Down there comes a fallow Doe,
As great with young as she might go,
With a downe, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.
She lifted up his bloody head,
Downe a downe, hay downe, a downe,
And kissed his wounds that were so red,
With a downe, downe, downe
She got him up upon her back,
And carried him to earthen lake,
With a downe, derrie, derrie, downe, downe.
She buried him before the prime,
Oh derrie
She was dead herself ere euen-song time.
God send every gentleman,
Such hawks, such hounds, and such a Leman
What means Derrie down?
@@FilmsTelePat I think it is just to ryme but English is not my first langue so I am not sure.

@@FilmsTelePat Huh, strange.
Thanks!

Where are the last lines: {God doth give every gentleman,
Such hawks, such hounds, and such a leman } ???
Wish i could time travel
C H if i could i would learn all the forgotten music that we don’t have to day

@Christopher viggiano *muslim women got rights
Thee was the music playing whilst the ravens took the dead bodies away in the 1348s
Why it has so little views and likes?! It's awesome!

Amazing!
Why aren't the last four lines sung in this beautifully rendered song?
Yes, it feels unfinished. A beautiful but sombre song.
I'm reminded of Three Corbies. This seems a less dark version of the tune.
Renaissance.
Best rendition I think skimming youtube. Nice song. I want to learn it myself.
Haunting
This type of music is the root of spirituals
damn that bass slaps
when Johnny comes home marching, hurrah, hurrah....
There were three rooks in the picture ... dear, oh dear.
Is this a ballad? I'm asking because school is stressing me, Sorry :')
Yes it is, it's an old English folk song ballad, hope school get a better for you
@@helensmusings thank you a lot!! ✨ Happy New year !
It’s in the title
I had always thought of The Three Ravens as a madrigal, but that was because I didn't know until now that a madrigal has to follow a pattern same as limericks have to follow a pattern. So, The Three Ravens is a ballad.
@@nancysherburne7445 thank you 🌹
So much reminds me one old Ukrainian lullaby 🤍
I hope you're referring to the melody and not the words!
Which one?
Please write text of folk song in inbox . Thanks ! Text is written in comments section Thanks.

The caption lyrics is hilarious
Hola dónde puedo ver la letra en español? Gracias saludos
Lol turned the captions on and got a laugh.
Lol I just noticed😂🤣
How can this be mediaeval? They would be speaking Old English..it would not be understandable.
Three rooks sat in a tree.
they left out the last verse!
I like the song, but man those lyrics are bleak.
This is not mediaeval.
InfernoXV it’s a folk song so it could be but at the same time it could be from any time before modern tec
