This was written about 900 years ago. Music like this should not be forgotten.

And another...

And, of course, we cannot forget Carmina Burana...


And, er, deflowering virgins - Carmina Burana style.


Just sitting looking at the PC and listening to ancient music (I suppose I could do some tidying up...).

That it is recorded by modern musicians is indication that it isn't forgotten We do have to keep in mind that there's a good bit of interpreting going into these performances.

Some of my favorite performers are David Munrow and his Early Music Consort of London (OG), Patrick Denecker/La Caccia and the Norwegian Cornett & Sackbut ensemble.

This is for medieval rave parties, good for increasing blood flow:

Bogurodzica - Mother of God - Battle hymn of Polish Knights

Marcus Hadrianus wrote:Bogurodzica - Mother of God - Battle hymn of Polish Knights

Wow didn't know about the Polish knights! Hussars, I suppose.

Hussars were elite cavalry from post-medieval period (Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth);
According to some chronicles, Polish knights sang Bogurodzica at the Battle of Grunwald (1410) - biggest european battle of medieval period.

There is also other medieval Polish song - Pieśń Wojów Krzywoustego - The Song of Polish Warriors

That's so cool! I don't think any of our Slavic brethren had knights of that calibre (save perhaps Russians and their bogatyrs), south Slavs didn't for sure

The only surviving fragment of a Middle English song about how much winter sucks:



I wonder how these people would react to being informed that people tend to gain weight during the winter these days.

Anyone for bardcore?
