Young man, how obscene! In the golden days, which you'd never known, the screams of wild creatures as they were swiftly stabbed by spears was clearly superior music.
I sought out every LP I could find of this style of music after I heard it in a film soundtrack in high school. That was 1971. I have yet to meet another person that considers this their favorite music.
A quartet came to my school in 1970 snd played Tudor music on a Spinnet (mini Harpsicord) as a working class schoolgirl, I was hooked. History thenceforth became my passion and ancient music along with it! Now you Have 'met' someone. It is Sublime! And I'm not a nutter..I'm a very with it, fashionable sixty something who loves rock an pop and ancient music best of all!
Henri wrote Greensleeves did he not? We used to attend plays in an exact replica of Shakespeare's Theater in London. The original in London burned down in 2008. The Bassano's and the Lupo's were artists, instrument makers and musicians who served the Dodge of Venice then became court musicians and instrument makers for King Henry VIII, King Edward, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, King James, etc. Recently I've learned I descend from an Elizabeth Bassano who settled Jamestowne Colony with her husband Lt. Albiano Lupo. Lt. Lupo was deceased in 1624 as was their son William. She remarried to John Chandler whose birth was recorded at St Margaret's, Westminster. John Chandler is said to have been the youngest living survivor of Jamestown.
This is beautiful music & I appreciate it. This is where all your modern music came from. People who don't respect it, don't respect music or the music they listen to now
Gosh! So relaxing classic style of historic famous music compositions of that era of centuries ago. These scores had meanings for the people, places, and events that shaped our world into other events we all actually still carry in some way or another. When I hear these styles of music, I seem to fall back in memories of many movies, TV series or a special show that bring a unique feeling of how good and bad the times of the 1500's & 1600's were for all people. May this style never die in the hearts that recall "some glorious times " of grand style living. One complaint though: some, if not most of this TH-cam show has the commercials that break up the music. That's quite rude to do in videos. Making money for running these "specials" put on by people should be used with respect to the main purpose of the show...not just throw commercials at random in people's minds who want to view someone's work.
Or perhaps thine predicament when the lady you are enamored with, whom hath stolen thy heart, giveth her favor to a rival gentlemen for the reason of possessing 10 more hectares of property and 3 more rams for the tupping season. Believe me, my condolences extend to you greatly, fellow forlorn kinsman. We shall not remain in the throws of pained love for much longer. There are many a maiden in Europe for us to have and keep as long as we shall remain on this mortal coil.
I'm a big fan of heavy metal. The stuff people just call noise. But i have always loved this music. Its a nice change from allot of today's modern crap
everything that has to do with rock or metal i like it but this music....is a special thing for me and i have no shame to tell my friends, i even let them listen to it.
I like Lute music. i feel it's not affecting my emotion too much, unlike some music that will make me sad or going hyper. This kind of music is like a nice breeze blow to our body/mind. It's very calm and relaxing.
Heres a free idea. >>British guy makes movie like (Roots) but about an English family beginning in 1618 going through the entire 30 Years War and the migration of this family to the Americas after 1648 to rebuild theyre war torn lives. (half the men in the family went to the wars! America was a new escape from that memory! England needs a film like that!
This music makes me proud of England and puts ancient images in my head, im gonna have to learn these on my semi acoustic. Greensleeves has remained a beautiful song for hundreds of years...Has music really come a long way?
who ever dislikes this is no class, not to be snobby I mean i'm more of a rocker but I don't dislike any classical music, it's not like it can really sound bad. I'm using this for inspiration for a song for my band
I think all other genres came directly from classical music. It was the only genre around other than folk music before the 17th century, and classical composers invented the whole concept of notes, keys and chords. They also invented the 4/4 and 3/4 rythms used in every song today.
Hello i am asgrath king of the southern elves i have came heae from the frozen lands and i say this music bring me back memory's of thy time i was at a pub
I have been looking for the name of the tune of "Greensleeves" for so long. I am so glad to have found it. I think I originally heard it in a game that I played years ago.
I was once informed ,by someone who ought to have known better, that all that traditional music was crap. I explained to him that music and songs and stories become traditional because people like them and keep listening to them and reading them etc. Just like now, the good music will last while the rubbish will not, because at the end of the day, we, the people of the world will decide what we love, 'not faceless critics who like to appear clever and pretend to like whatever is the latest craze
+Jack Fletcher Those with inferiority issues are usually the same people who stick their noses up at traditional music in a manner of over-compensation and a need for superiority.
How can you compare Rap and Hip Hop as more developed and less cookie cutter. Really as to talent? Can Dr. Dre or any other musical artist produce a set of new music every week, teach it to a choir and have it perfected by that Sunday? You can't even come close comparing 50cent of anyone today to Tallis, Taverner, Vivaldi( and his all girl orchestra, Byrd. You also can't put Mozart into this category since he is not from the Baroque Period. It would be like comparing Stevie Wonder to Bionce or Snoop dog, Two very different styles
I kinda disafree with you... we like old things mostly because they are just old, not because of their value. In "Three Men on a Boat" (wonderful book, by the way) there is a bit where main characters is pondering whether his ugly, porcelain dog figurine he got from his aunt will be discover a century later and touted as priceless artefact. Hell, he even mentioned "visitors from Nippon" watching it - the book was written in XIX century, and he already predicted the scourge of Japanese tourists. So, if you travel to XVI century and told people those folk song people sing in the taverns would be the subject of admiration and studies centuries later, they will probably laugh their ass off. And that's how history work - we often drools upon things that were completely mundane for people who lived in that era.
Comment: The reason I chose this clip is because in class I found this to be one of the more interesting eras of music that we studied. Also, John Dowland was popular during the Renaissance period (from what I had researched) and played an important role throughout this era. His music is still easy to find today.
I like this instrument. I used to like Mozart alot but found when listening to Bach and Handel, that I slowly developed an impression that Mozart was more like a jazz impresario to classic music of his day...
Man, the kids of my generation had it good! We had lute music, poverty, disease, and large scale wars which lasted for years! Todays generation sucks because we have rap, medication, good housing, and better economies! If you can't tell I'm joking, I will find you and gut you with a met hook.
Me too. I got the whole long hair metal stuff together lol but I like all kinds of music. I'm also in marching band and it's funny because sometimes but this kind of Music is some of the best in my opinion. Absolutely beautiful!
Okay... a few of you probably don't believe that I was a vampire. But I assure you, I lived back in those days and I listened to this music all the time and I tell you... these were the time.
I, like you, am a vampire, and I was almost staked in the heart with a broken lute, which lead on to my unfortunate obsession with finding the most skilled lutists and compelling them to play the lute while I fell asleep each morning. Even though it was a near death experience, I was reborn in this new light, and even now, lutes help me fall asleep everyday.
@@rosiechilds7198 See, I must admit that I myself have found little consolation in the benign strummings of the lute, after I was savagely murdered by and therefore converted into a vampire during a wonderful lute concert held by the great Rositiana Childerenais. My great love for the art form simply dissipated at the new morbid prospect of immortality I now had, and only now have I started relearning my true passion for it. I'm glad I found a space to tell my story, vampire to vampire. Lute enthusiast to lute enthusiast.
In days of yore, this was considered beautiful, so melodic, an extension of an artist's soul. Us few whom listen to these songs now still appreciate true skill and the heart warming tones of the spirit of strings, and yet youth now find themselves in the disposition of disdain due to the lack of words or "beats". Truly sorrowful, indeed. The only other instrument, in mine own opinion, that would have as much if not more beauty would be the theorbe (theorbo).
i dont know why im here im searching about the oldest songs and i come up here. how i wish time machines is real so i can go back to the past and write all the happenings before so that i can even meet my grandmoms and granddads oldest grands haha.
I understand your disagreement. It's not a 1 to 1 correspondence of being "same-y." But as far as what modern music has to offer, it's the only genre I've found that uses elements of composition (dynamics, tempo-change/time signaute change, etc...) in a way that is similar to classical stylings; without giving up modern methods such as electric guitars and the aggressiveness of modern music.
Who has convinced you of this? I went back to what inspired me and I found you playing de Falla dance of Molinero. It was a complilation CD with Barrueco whom took me over...but when I listen back your performance on Falla was something remarkable and something I remreber inspiring me...so of ocurse I am conmfused
Seth Lakeman's stuff is in a similar vein. I'm afrais I can't offer any instrumental suggestions (I'm still searching for the like myself). A fair amount of indie/folk songs are also similar (Goodnight Lenin) although somewhat faster paced.
Then, they did not have record producers right? Makes a difference in the music.You can play one instrument well and properly without any fuss. This is so nice.
I do have a question, any can answer, why are these grand musical instruments so expensive. Between 500 to 1000 dollars. I wish to play but do not have the money.
This newfangled lute music.... in my day we beat drums around the fire.
Young man, how obscene! In the golden days, which you'd never known, the screams of wild creatures as they were swiftly stabbed by spears was clearly superior music.
Only 1550's kids will remember
Yeah, those were the days. Edward VI, Lady Jane Grey, Mary I. What a riot.

You’re not alone, I love it too. It’s so soulful.

Studying 16th century Europe, specifically Tudor Englad and I absolutely love listening to lute music while I read.

someone should mod this into skyrim so bards or whomever will play it when your inside taverns. it would fit in perfect.

+Dio A Would sound and fit much better than the current pseudo-medieval music.

This style of playing the Earl of Essex Galliard is awesome! :D

I love lute music! I'm also a fan of heavy metal, but when I have to study a lot, lute music always help in concentration. =)
Right on! How about heavy lute? Now that could be fun...
Sting’s lute album “Songs from the Labyinth” is proof that these two kinds of music can, and should, coexist in our universe.

sounds nice oldfashioned and different also peaceful cool im a fan
oh my, what a big surprise! I never expected greensleeves in this video titled "English Lute Music of the Renaissance" :D
Oh dear God, where hath the mercy gone?
Does anyone know where I can find scores of this? Specifically the 2nd part of Greensleeves (7:26-8:42).
That variation is by Francis Cutting... a google search should find it easily.
I have a printed score - from the '70s I think. Drop me an email at www.davidclyons.com and I'll send you a jpeg
@iWriteUinMyDeathNote And how do you know what people of the time period enjoy? Where you there?
Who has convinced you of this? I went back to what inspired me and I found you playing de Falla dance of Molinero.

Then, they did not have record producers right? Makes a difference in the music.You can play one instrument well and properly without any fuss. This is so nice.
Could somebody tell me the name of the painting in this video?
Tell me if I'm wrong, but isn't Greensleeves composed by King Henry VIII? This must be Francis Cutting's variation on it I guess.
sweet music
Picture; who painted it, when was it painted and what is it called?
Thank you.
I adore this music.
Can someone tell me where to find the picture?
It's an oil Painting of Sir John Suckling(Poet, 1609-1641) by Sir Anthony van Dyck(Artist, 1599-1641).

Classics are always the gold shit. 95 liner!
I do have a question, any can answer, why are these grand musical instruments so expensive. Between 500 to 1000 dollars. I wish to play but do not have the money.
6:25 is a song in skyrim!
Hey, pretty cool. Is Gurney Halleck on baliset?
