For many years now, ensemble Strada has been exploring Mediterranean music which continues to draw from medieval tradition. Strada's rendition of the few scores that have been handed down to us from Middle Ages, which they perform in that most excellent of medieval forums, "nella strada", in the street, makes their music aliveand colorful, and much like the music which rang through southern Europe from thirteenh to the sixteenth centuries.
The selection chosen for this recording were performed by Strada during the first Medievales de Québec festival in 1993 - music that the washerwoman and the court jester once dance to, music that cotribuited to magical atmosphere of the carnival. Every other eyars, for five days in mid-August, an unforgettable celebration of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages takes place against the charming backdrop of the walled city of Old Quebec, with its unique architecture, history and European atmosphere.
In may 1978, in Quebec City, Claude Bernatchez brought together a group of young musicians sharing a passion for Medieval and Renaissance music, and ensemble Anonymous was founded. Ever since, they have continued to bring alive the musical traditions of Medieval Europe with a fervor that never wanes. In seventeen years, through their creativity, their research and by deeping their understanding of history, ensemble Anonymous has created a large number of recitals on a variety of themes, as well as performances comnining music and theatre, which have won audiences in six countries in America and Europe. The pieces they hace chosen for this recording are dances from the middle Ages and Renaissence and are taken from their first two albums recorded in 1982 and 1985.
I wish you happy listening!

Been waiting 800 years for this recording
-
Me and the boys after making it through the year without dying of typhoid
-
love music from the 50's.... 1350s that is....
-
When you're listening to this music and your roommate comes in and asks, "What game is that?"
-
Good old 'Anonymous', doesn't disappoint
-
My grandma: What’s your favorite oldies song? Me: It’s Complicated.
-
Brings me back to the Grammy Awards back in 1308, ah yes those were the days.
-
I live in France in a 16th century old Inn..... so lovely to hear the music they perhaps played when the inn was opened. Soon we will re-open as a Medieval Inn / Bed&Breakfast again. After 450 years or there about...
-
When its finally summer 2021.. upps I mean summer 1350, the plague is over, you and the village dance ecstatic to this tunes!
-
I love music like this because it brings out the humanistic side of history. When we talk about how people lived hundreds upon hundreds or even millennia ago it's hard to imagine these were real people who actually lived. Then when we listen to their music we get the same feelings and respond in the same way they would've. It almost brings a tear to my eye to be able to reconnect with our ancestors like this
-
I put this on and dance outside, in my cloak, at night. Escapism truly at its finest.
-
These songs weren't lost we were just too drunk to write them down half the time
-
I had this CD. I remember listening to it in my car, at night, parked right outside a medieval Italian village, in a time when I was really down and out. It helped me get through the hard times I was undergoing.

中世の音楽はとてもアップテンポでしたね 気分が上がります
-
Plauge, pestilence, famine - yet they made jolly music.
-
Strange how listening to medieval music makes you realize those weren't the dark ages. Listening to their music makes me feel like those were the times when people are capable of enjoying life in the simplest ways, the best way they knew how and they can have joy in their heart whatever the circumstances. And I just love how danceable and wondrously joyful the music is without any allusion to sex, drugs or what have you.

50 minutes of pleasant music without pervert interruptions for advertisements.

Странно завораживающая музыка... Мне нравится...
-
Here in Catalonia, Spain, there's a popular collection of medieval music known as Llibre Vermell de Montserrat (Red Book of Montserrat), dating back to the 1300s. In Galicia, another historical region, the Cantigas de Santa Maria were written between 1270 and 1282 consisting of 417 compositions honoring the Virgin Mary. Both masterpieces are proof of our precious cultural heritage and I hope someday we can enjoy this medieval Spanish music on this channel. Love it by the way.

Imagine an age when this music was the popular music, played by musicians on the markets and streets... The definition of a high civilization, pretty much.
