Mr Hamon is performing the virelai "Puis que ma dolour" by Guillaume de Machaut. A virelai is a form of medieval French verse used often in poetry and music. It is one of the three formes fixes (the others were the ballade and the rondeau) and was one of the most common verse forms set to music in Europe from the late thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries. Guillaume de Machaut (sometimes spelled Machault) (c. 1300 - April 1377) was a Medieval French poet and composer. Just for your information
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful and well done. Brings back the memories of the old medieval times, when the ladies were wearing beautiful gowns of loose cotton and silk, and the chaps of fine English ruff. Freshly baked bread in the morning whilst walking through the eve glory flowered arches of past time gardens. Aahh... Lovely!
I was privileged to attend your solo concert in Bangalore at the United Theological College. Your voice provided the drone for the Estampie you opened the concert with! Still fresh in my memory. You still have that magic Mr. P.H.
This was exceptionally well done (in a cool accoustic space). What is the range of the two tubes? Do they work like a tabor pipe in producing a full scale, or are each limited to the 5-6 notes of the direct fingering (with possible octave jumps) using the thumb hole? Just curious. Lovely instrument and performance.
Hello Pierre, I love this video, your playing is really great! I wonder how the double recorder is tuned (the notes all holes closed), would you tell me? All the best, Max
0:10 Long before time had a name, the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago using four elemental weapons. But when he passed, a dark presence sought out to collect them all: Lord Garmadon. So I, Sensei Wu, his brother, sought out to find four ninja to collect them first.
If making one from two recorders, it is useful to pull out the block of the lower-sounding recorder a little. The white plastic yamahas are good for such experiments. Place a rod inside the head joint (dont touch the labium) and hit it sharply with a hammer. The drop of glue holding it will break and the block should come off, and thereafter you can adjust the block position. Tape holes 0 to 3 shut.
There are specialist makers of medieval flutes and recorders to be found online, including double recorders like this. The instruments are a lot more expensive than a regular plastic Yamaha recorder and often need to be made to order.
First of all, I know a lot of people here in Europe who know nothing about the European middle ages. In addition to that the music in this video is closer to the picture tareynrose painted. 95% of the population never heared such music. So you also painted a picture true to history. And there ae so many possibillities in between, as times weren't so good for the nobility or so bad for the unfree in all of the 1.000 years the middle ages last and it differed also depending on the region.
Actually, medieval music was heavily influenced by islamic scales etc brought back from the Crusades. Early Celtic music was almost exclusively drum and horn based. Melody instruments and bagpipes largely didn't reach the Celts until the early middle ages.
