Renaissance Music
« on: March 14, 2011, 09:23:18 PM »
I could die in this music.  Seriously.  It's absolutely beautiful... some of the most beautiful music ever recorded.  I would DIE to sing in a group like the Tallis Scholars.  If you have no idea what I'm talking about... they were some of the most experimental composers at the time.  For example.  Spem in Alium by Tallis.  FORTY PARTS.  VOCAL PARTS.  Awesome.  Not just SATB.  But SSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTBBBBBBBBBB.  Palestrina.  GOD.  Madrigals.  Pop music for the time.  But better than today's pop.  Byrd.  Bennet.  Monteverdi.  Josquin.  All amazing.

Here are some of my favorites.  Starred are ones I have been fortunate enough to sing.

* G. P. de Palestrina - Sicut Cervus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5uVEN3lzCQ

* Palestrina - Kyrie (from Missa Papae Marcelli)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIcrgNtyX0U

Victoria - O Magnum Mysterium
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnMYokAsWTI

* Byrd - Agnus Dei (Mass for 5 voices)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePqqoag8s1E

di Lassus - Kyrie (from Missa Bell'Amfitrit Altera)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njWgS_Mx5NM

Tallis - Spem In Alium

I sang Tallis' Lamentations of Jeremiah in college.  Very difficult and passionate piece.  Loved it.

I'm about to write a paper about Ockeghem and either the "Missa prolationum" or the one that can be sung in any mode.

A few months ago I discovered Thomas Tallis and have since fell in love with his amazing music.

Although Vivaldi is by far my favorite classical composer (from the Baroque period), William Byrd is astonishing:

Thomas Tallis is a favorite as well.

Beyond epic.

The name of the video is incorrect obviously.
