About 1980 I purchased an alto for 300 pounds at the Early Music Shop in London. In 1995 I lost it during a move. I've never recovered from that broken heart!
@@christophertsiliacos8958 - agreed - I have a cheap Aulos and it's great - I have a nice Pallisander Moeck Rottenburgh too but it requires much more precision to play the high notes well!! You can get the Aulos Haka soprano pretty cheap too
For anyone else who was unable to find the medieval playlist referred to in this video, the good folks at Primephonic tracked it down for me (took them three tries, but they found it, which was more than I managed to do). “Here you have the playlist you were looking for: play.primephonic.com/playlist/18de5591-2b9f-4b3a-b3f5-ba601a235715. “ It’s listed under Team Recorder, not Sarah Jeffrey. Maybe I should’ve figured that out, but sadly I didn’t.
Hi Kim, thanks for flagging this up! The link to the playlist is right there in the video description, second paragraph- is it showing up for you? When searching on Primephonic you might have to check the spelling of my name - it’s Jeffery, not Jeffrey. Maybe that’s why. Great that the Primephonic folks could help you though, they are super helpful. I hope you enjoy listening!
Thank you, and I apologize humbly for misspelling your name! Believe it or not, until I read your reply I didn’t know that if you tap the title of a TH-cam video, you get a description of the video contents (assuming the person posting it put one there). I’m fairly new to TH-cam channels, and still have much to learn. For kicks, I did try searching on your name (correctly spelled) plus “playlist“ at Primephonic, but it only brought up your Baroque playlist. Also tried “Team Recorder” plus “playlist” and got the same result. So the link in the video description is the best way to go. Many thanks for your patience, Kim
This was fascinating and packed with useful information and ideas-- thank you both. And how infectious are Emily's smile and laughter? I found myself just beaming all the way through this; Emily is like joyfulness in person! 😄🏳🌈
Just in time for the book of medieval dances I've ordered ! 😃 This is my FAVOURITE recorder era/genre btw... 🤩 Edit: The dances arrived today from EMS ! 🥳
I haven't had a chance to finish watching your video yet (I'm 5 minutes in and have to come back later to finish), but I love both medieval & folk music, and I'm loving the history lesson here. Thank you!
The introductory note for the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat is just amazing lol! I love medieval 'reconstructed' music, although I cannot play. But I can sing! I love the Cantigas de Santa Maria, I'd love to find an Ensemble or something like that here in Brasil. Cheers from Sao Paulo!
Wow! Brilliant! Thanks to you and Emily for a thrilling and totally engrossing half an hour. For me its the first step on a journey. Who knows where it will end?
Loved this video. I learnt so much bout' Mediaeval music. ❤️ I'd love to see the next video to this series... I am guessing it's gonna be "How to sound like the Renaissance period." IDK I am actually a Indian Classical Musician, Not very fond of the west... 😅
Interesting, I play several medieval instruments including the medieval bagpipes, medieval bagpipes have identical fingering to recorder fingering so if you can play the medieval bagpipes you can pick up a recorder and almost immediately play it. So like Emily I came to the same playing style and doing most ornamentation with my fingers not tongue. Also I agree the use of drones is very medieval, to accompany a recorder this can be done with stringed instruments and also the frame drum is an excellent droning drum. Another technique not mention here is medieval instruments tended to be much lower in tone than modern ones, so playing much lower is medieval.
@@hunithmusic On a bagpipe you have a constant stream of air so you lift and place your fingers to create gaps in the music, these go from very simply raising one finger while playing a note, to extremely complex combinations of five or six finger lifts on one note. Some of the more simple ornamentation can be done with the tongue on the recorder.
@@Fiddling_while_Rome_burns I know how a bagpipe works, in fact I used to play medieval bagpipe myself, but what you describe as "gaps in the music" wouldn't be called "ornamentation" on the recorder but articulation. We recorder players do ornamentation with our fingers.
@@Fiddling_while_Rome_burns Where did I mention fluttertongue? And, being a modern playing technique, what does it have to do with either ornamentation or articulation? And no, it's not just semantics. Ornamentation and articulation are distinctly different things.
This was great - very informative - I think I met Emily's dad once at a folk song club in Chichester - he sang a trad song called The Mermaid without accompaniment and afterwards we had a chat about Emily Portman's album The Glamoury (still one of my favourite folk albums)
@@Team_Recorder - yes, he was a lovely man and sang very well: unlike myself who forgot the words half way through my rendition of Limbo (after hearing it sung by Eliza Carthy on Anglicana I fell in love with the melody) due to nerves - lol!!!
Hi Sarah thank you very much for changing my life for the better ":)!!! Because of you and your channel. I think outside the box ":)!!!I love the recorder and the recorder community. This episode of medieval music is just what I need. Thank you thank you so much. ')!!!I hope you family and friends are all safe and well from the current situation. Tah.
Medieval romance song: "There were two people. Describe how they met for one verse. Now blather on for 9-20 verses about the horrible things the happened around them, often their own doing. Sometimes it was by other people in response to them being horrible people. Have a verse about how each of them died. Could be two if you're still feeling it when writing. Include a reference to a lover's knot growing up out of their tomb so you can really sell that this is romantic and heartwarming."
In other words, how to sound like what the player believes is authentically medieval, because not enough documentation as survived. Thanks for the informative content.
Thanks for the video. Really interesting (I like the idea of series about styles of music), and it made me want to listen to more medieval music (my first intrument is the cello, so, for playing, I'm thinking about transposing vocal music.) My recorder skills are not sufficient at all for this kind of project : I've had my recorder (a lovely Yamaha alto) for about a week. I've picked it up thanks to you, you give us so much material (and motivation), I decided I wanted this kind of fun in my life. On this subject : can you do a tutorial for an easy piece, for alto recorder?
Hi Sarah, good to see a new video. Hope you're well and safe. I sent you a DM. I'd love to see a video on difference between models such as bressan, denners, rottenburghs, so on... and what they are best suited for. I also made a comment on the reading you shared today. I'd love to talk about it with you.
Thank you so much! I'm only entering into the medieval music 'scene', as it were, with the recorder mainly, and yes, sorry very much, but adapted TAB so I can pick things on the guitar...... I've been in the living history reenactment for the last 23 years and getting rather fed up with the archeaological and authenticity police that want everything proven and set in stone, more or less! I've already encountered critics on the musical front, while like you girls already say, like myself, that very little IS known, especially if it was the lower classes, critics along the lines of 'you can't play that on that instrument, it was written for.....' or 'that instrument isn't appropriate for that place'...... Really strict! So yeah, deep breaths and plough on regardless. Influences did flow over the lands, people did travel, instruments weren't mass-produced to be all the same everywhere, stuff like that....... I'll get there! Again, thank you!
Thank you Sarah, this is such a great channel! I’m a Primephonic member, but I can’t find the medieval playlist you referred to. Could you give us a specific name to search on, please? Thank you!
I find that gymels,meaning terza seems to allude to the name of the third hebrew letters name which is the gymel and has the gematrya numerical value of three.in ancient hebraic music their also were terzas and fifths(quinta)
Askew does nearly the same thing I do when I need some baroque inspiration. In my case, I look for baroque buldings, palaces and another things involving baroque sculptures. Baroque sources coming from a non-musical as main source. Almost the great sculptures from the baroque era presents irregular lines and notions of non-stable things. Pay attention to "The ectasis of Saint Terese" by Bernini. All in this marble sculpture is OPERA, drama, violent constrasts, unquiet lines. There is a explicit sexual connotation here: an angel craves a golden sward inside Terese's heart (really the heart?) and she is almost dead (and orgasm or a divine "extase"?). That is baroque and is valuable issue for the baroque music. it is important to point out that what I wrote is more suitable for Italian baroque. But the procedure of look for scullptures and architecture remains the same for the French baroque but looking for furniture and paiting.
Hi Sarah. I already have Primephonic after listening to you Video on Baroque Music. I can not find your playlist for this video though. Can you help and send the name of the playlist?
Hi Sarah, I'm currently learning the tin whistle and I'm very interested in medieval music. Could I ask if you have any recommendation on what key I should buy if I only can afford one low whistle and my main objective is to play medieval sounding music? 🙏 Your best, Stefan
Hi I used to be Ava hamms student on TH-cam but I just now found u guys. Are hobby lobby recorders good to use or are they cheap imitations are those recorders you buy at hobby lobby good recorders to play cause I just bought 2 recorders for 74 cents at hobby lobby to teach her so are hobby lobby recorders good recorders
Oh, Emily! Couldn't you have played snippets of the actual music you mention, for those of us that are listeners rather than players? Most laymen don't know what Organum is, but many would recognize an example as something that we've always loved but didn't know why. I was asked in a teenage job interview why I love mediaeval music, and didn't have the education to answer. 50 years on that still breaks my heart. Nowadays I know that, in Organum, they are "harmonising in 3rds and 5ths", I recognize the lovely sound, but I still don't know what is actually happening. I lack the musical knowledge and vocabulary. Emily, if you offered an online course in "What's actually going on here, for musical innocents" I would buy it.
Hi Sarah can you recommend actual book of medieval music sheets I can purchase and is there an electronic accompaniment I can purchase to have background music ie soft drumming or harp?? I have no idea but love being an amateur recorder player! Thanks so much from Australia 🇦🇺
Plagiarism of popular and folk music tunes by churches has a fairly long and continuous history right up to today. Modern hymnals (much to my dismay, as a lover of classical and romantic music) are full of appropriated Dvorak, Smetna, Beethoven, Sibelius, and Holst, with religious lyrics substituted for the originals, or added to instrumental music.
Interesting video! However, how can one make a generalisation from one manuscript? Moreover, every European Country has always had different styles of folk music present in it - often differing from region to region! Is it possible to guarantee that there is an unbroken chain of transition in relation to folk music - especially since the arrival of the modern age and the loss of culture due to the fact that we do not sing at home- as was done before the arrival of recorded music and film? Thank you again for the video!
Those are good points! So Emily isn’t generalising from one manuscript- she’s speaking from many years of study and experience, highlighting one example so it’s easier for a new audience to follow. The task of fitting 1000 years of music history into a 25 min video is an impossible one, but we’ve chosen some ideas that can be helpful starting points for thise getting into Medieval music- places to look further. And yes every region (both now and in the medieval era) has its own musical traditions- we had a whole conversation about how to incorporate those but it didn’t make the cut!
@@Team_Recorder Thank you for responding to my comment! Please do not think I did not value and enjoy the video! These were simply questions I had! I agree it would be impossible to condense a 1000 year of performance into one short video. Thank you again.
You can turn on the captions - click on 'English' (not the automatic version) and that's my updated transcription! She says "are we worshipping the ashes, or are we keeping the flames alive"
How do you know that medieval people sounded like that or are you just playing in some trite modern concept of olden days, like people who read Saxon books in some old accent that modern society has just made up as a short hand to show, look I'm a Viking. You don't think that if some 1000 year old person was revived would say the equivalent of -wtf!

She has enough free lessons on YT to learn to play tunes, which is pretty fun. I loved her easy playalongs.
Great info! Connecting Medieval and modern Folk music (primarily English Folk music) is something that I’m very interested in. Thanks! 🌞😎🎻
I love her work with her sister, the English folk stuff. Awesome.
What Emily says about drones and all is very interesting and I really like her rendition of the cantiga.
True, a lot of 'Celtic' style ornaments give music a medieval feel.
