I know Cantiga's version for years and it was always my favorite rendition of this beautiful tune. I prefer this slower tempo. Some our local medieval bands play "Como podem" like rock'n roll which is bad. And I must say that Cantiga was for me fantastic source of inspiration how to make my music and of course source of big joy. Fantastic musicians.
When I was introduced to ren faires 13 years ago by a friend, who gave me a CD with two episodes of the Renaissance Festival Music podcast, this is one of the first songs I heard, and it remains one of my favorites.
Beautiful version of this song. I would kinda like to hear the beat sped up just a bit, to make it more of a 'get up and dance' type song. I love this, don't get me wrong, I just heard it performed on the tudors and the sped up beat had that 'must dance' effect to it
@@xRuffianx no it's not a dumb comment if u listen to a slightly sped up version...it energises you with it's rhythm and compels u to dance and is an amazing beautiful version equal as the slow one.
@@xRuffianx I bet you when the inventor of the wheel was making the prototype, some amazing person like yourself told him that it's a dumb idea, and we should keep using our feet.
You're the best! I have been a fan of Martha GAY's groups since first hearing them at the Renaissance Festival near Magnolia, TX, from the beginning of that Festival They introduced me to Celtic music along with the Chieftains so long ago.
Es un poco extraño que haya un charango, pero la verdad que queda bien. Y por el asunto de los instrumentos originales que comentaba jewish1972, pues que a falta de los originales, buenos son los "descendientes", ¿no? :-)
I was looking up old music videos and am just now seeing all these comments! Claire... Wow. I am so glad to hear it helped you. Sometimes things get really hard on the road, and the music industry can be so fake and shallow, and sometimes I wonder, why bother? Then every once in a blue moon I hear a comment like this, and it refuels me. This is the best thing anyone could ever say to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We inspire each other!
@bobbielefeld Sorry Bob! I got the story mixed up. I thought it was Mr. Benade who actually made the flute (hence my use of hobbyist). See you in a couple of weeks.
@bobbielefeld (continued) Jameson showed me the flute he had made as a prototype and even loaned it to me for the summer and several summers after. Malcolm, Martha and I fell in love with its sound and the way it blended with the harp and fiddle. He was making me an improved model of the Benade flute when he died. I ended up with the prototype.
@LunaLakshmi My flute was designed by Art Benade 1925-1987, a physicist at Case-Western Reserve University. He greatly advanced the science of acoustics relating to musical instruments. The flute was made by our mutual friend George Jameson who made and played many woodwinds in his day. I wouldn't call him a hobbyist. When I first met him he worked as a repairman in the woodwind shop I frequented in my college days. Years later,I met him at a Renaissance Faire. (to be continued)
@LunaLakshmi it was an experimental model by a hobbyist. Only two were ever made. It is an incredibly unique instrument. Visit their website and send Bob Bielefeld and email. I am sure he would be happy to tell you more about it.
