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...).
I have NO BELIEF in the existence of a God or gods. I do not have to offer evidence nor do I have to determine absence of evidence because I do not ASSERT that a God does or does not or gods do or do not exist.
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.

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
Praecepta Hadrianina vitae iucundae sunt haec: cervesiam frigidam bibere, cannabim sativam nonnumquam fumere, amicos diligere, inimicis digitum medium ostendere, tesseras L-nummarias impendere, feleculas delicatius tractare, mammas sugere.

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
