The Three Ravens - Andreas Scholl скачать видео бесплатно
Traditional English song, written in Early English, from
Thomas Ravenscroft's collection, published in 1611
"There were three Ravens sat on a tree, Downe a downe, hey downe, hey downe.
They were as blacke as blacke could be-with a downe
Then one of them said to his mate,
Where shall we our breakefast take? with a downe derrie, derry, derry, downe, downe
Downe in yonder greene field, downe a downe...
There lies a Knight slain under his shield-with a downe...
His hounds they lie downe at his feete
So well do they their Master keepe-with a downe...
His Hawkes they flie so eagerly, downe a downe...
There's no fowle that dare him come nie. with a downe...
Downe there comes a fallow Doe,
As great with yong as she might go-with a downe ...
She lifted up his bloody head, downe a downe...
And kiss'd his wounds that were so red. with a downe..
She got him up upon her backe
And carried him to earthen lake. with a downe ...
She buried him before the prime, downe a downe...
She was dead her selfe ere even song time - with a downe...
God sent every gentleman,
Such hawkes, such hounds, and such a leman. with a downe

A small point, but the only mistake here worth correcting, in case anyone is using this to learn the words: at 2.58 the transcription gives 'sent', which is wrong [maybe an understandable mis-hearing of this German-native's slight accent]. It should be 'send' - the present subjunctive used to indicate an optative meaning, i.e. "[I wish that] God [may] send [to] every gentleman..." Beautiful singing from a very fine counter-tenor. 10 years назад

He is singing it a minor third lower than the written music. Don't the music fool you!10 years назад

Addressing Suzanne Rider:The doe was the knight's lover, described in metaphor. Lemman means sweetheart. Also, she was pregnant, and given how these songs often go, she probably did die there of grief.11 years назад

If you think it's dark listen to the 'Twa Corbies' version of Scotland: this is quite optimistic by comparison.YT /watch?v=M77zcwXJXcI12 years назад

This is not "early English." This is Early Modern English. Old English was spoken from between at least the mid-5th century and the mid-12th century. Middle English was spoken when the Normans came in 1066. Modern English was spoken after the Great Vowel Shift in the mid 16th century. I'm just a dumb American, and even I know that. Damn, this guy is good!13 years назад

@TobiShinobii There were no spelling rules in 1611; words were spelled in many different ways back then.13 years назад

I have heard a version here in Yt with a boy alto, where is it? It would be cool an interpretation with the boy Connor Burrowes, but I think he made no recordings of that. Best wishes.14 years назад

My choir. Schola Cantorum, is doing two bay area concerts on 3/12 and 3/13/2011 -- and one of the arrangements is of this song.We also have some wonderful, light music too; folk songs from the British Isles, as well as some great arrangements of American folk music by Dawn Reyen, our assistant director.14 years назад

We sang this in a medieval class I took a couple of years ago. It's so nice to hear how it's supposed to sound...haha! We didn't have any recording to listen to--just our professor and her guitar, and no great singers among us. It's a beautiful song, though, when it's done right! :)Похожие клипы
