My dad had this as a vinyl in the 1980s and I would fall asleep as a child listening to it. Imagine my disappointment when I hear other versions! This one is the best by far! Thank god they re-record it and made a CD because I lost that vinyl! :(
magic. this music is magic and the people playing it are magicians and there are no illusions in this magic. we are also magicians if we go and look for music in the world and in people. magic.
For me, it is well and exellently played for l i s t e n i n g , but a bit too slowly for d a n c i n g 😅. It needs to, how shall I say it?, flip somehow to make it really an interpretation to dance to! It would be right, if your knees, your feet, your Body have no choice bit dance and move Boy themselves!
I guess you're sure to like this version... (this is the choir my granddaughter sings with, proud grandpa... :-)) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JwgfYA7ATY8.html
@@Impeccabilistic What more authentic way to enjoy authentic Renaissance music! Ale for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and then to the ale house. Water was literally poison.
MICHAEL PRAETORIUS ( Creuzburg 1571-1621 Wolfenbuttel ) DANCES FROM TERPSICHORE Quelle musique une pure merveille qui nous emportes sur une autre terre merci.
I love these pieces to the nth degree. I have a vinyl recording of the same performance, and haven't t heard it for years. It's all delightfully realised and played. :-)
Ich liebe auch die Musik von Praetorius. Er wurde ganz in meiner Nähe in Creuzburg/Thüringen geboren. Seine Musik wurde weltbekannt und beliebt, sie ist wunderschön.
Music that breathes silence and a grandeur that modern times no longer recognize, times without sources, without truth, without hierarchy, without future !
www.heinrichshofen.de, they have a book by Gertrud Keller, published in 1992, named terpsichore, with subtitle Die Tänze der barockzeit, meant for soprano and alto recorder, in partiture form
These songs are the same CDs as CD cover displayed on video. However, CD of this cover may not already be sold. The information on CD of the same contents as the explanation column was written.
Beautiful of course...but who I wonder are always the few, and I mean few who are the MEAN few that give something wonderful a thumbs down. Maybe they're Umpah Lumpahs!
Ecouter Praetorius, c'est abolir le déferlement de bruits et d'images du quotidien pour entrouvrir l'espace d'un ailleurs où la contingence et la représentation cèdent la place à l'immatérialité du sensible. Une fois refermée la porte sur l'agitation du monde, un silence sous-jacent s'installe, une lenteur saisit, préludes à une dilatation de la perception et de la conscience. Le pouvoir expressif de l'architecture sonore rompt avec toute forme de transcription du réel pour s'attacher à l'expression d'un univers fabuleux où la couleur et le rythme constituent une expiration qui donne voix à l'exaltation !!
Tielman Susato, een Vlaming.....( ik ben vlakbij geboren, net over de grens in Halsteren Nrd-Brabant), nooit van hem gehoord en ook niet van zijn muziek, maar wat klinkt het heerlijk.
Love those Krummhorns ... Anyone remember Bob Kerr on CBC? One of his themes (70s?) was a bransle from Terpsichore but I am having trouble finding it....
Please can you tell me if these songs are from the same CD cover as it's displayed on the video? because there are many Praetorius cds but i like this songs better and i would buy this cd if i knew it is the same!!!!
i prefer Bruno Maderna,Berg,Jonathan Harvey,Missy Mazzoli,Carl Vine,Hector Parra but it must be good to hear such coherent unified compositions since even serialsm,set theory Markov chains can be traced back to the constraints and games (canons,palindromes,retrograde manipulaions etc.of this period! Reading 2 dissertations on Ockgehem in Krenek and Heinrich for Webern tells me I need to look at these early scores and study them as I would Xenakis!
The vibrato used is not excessive, not at all like later uses of it. And just how do you know that there was no vibrato used? Leopold Mozart (admittedly a later period) wrote about vibrato, not altogether approvingly, but thus showing it was used, at least in the second half of the 18th century. I am sure that there were endless variations in musical practices all over Europe in the early 17th century. While certainly not used in a late 19th/20th century sense, I have seen no evidence that proves vibrato was not used at all. I would be careful, having not been there at the time, and having no recordings to go by, in being so certain.
well this collection of tunes is from the early 17th century, a while before the calssical period and mozart. But on the other hand, judging from mozarts comment complaining about excessive vibrato, you can conclude that vibrato might have been used earlier on
If you simply listen to the music, with no "learned" (indoctrinated) preconceptions of what is "proper" for it, it sounds truly wonderful and a million miles away from "ruined".
It doesn't take much musical history knowledge at all to know that this is renaissance music, and this was customary of the time period. Tchaikovsky was a whole other time period, a whole other world, and it is impossible to compare the two musical styles and say that one is more tasteful than the other.
This recording came out in 1976, and my guess is the recorder players had been listening to famous Collegium Terpsichore recording of the same music from the previous decade. Vibrato on recorders was more common then. BTW, Tchaikovsky would have not have recognized the big, continuous vibrato that became part of string technique after WW I.
