Rose, Lis, Printemps, Verdure - Guillaume de Machaut video free download

In the second to last bar of the 'A' section there's a B that's almost always flattened, but I've heard a couple recordings where it's natural. I think it's very cool that way, although it's unlikely it's what Machaut intended.

@4372408 Any of Machaut's rondeaux! Unfortunately they're pitifully under-recorded, but you can find a few on the Orlando Consort's album "Dreams in the Pleasure Garden."

OHHHHHHH. The whole thing repeats in complex ways. NOW I GET IT. o_o

Kaylee Jakubowski

And to think that I thought listening to this would help me understand Rondeau form...bah... -_-;

a small snippet of this song is sampled in Panda Bear's "I'm Not." now that i've found it, i can say it's beauty at its simplest. =]

There are lots of beautiful works by Machaut. Start looking!. I recommend his motets, but there are rondos, ballads and other forms in his repertoire. And another beautiful big work is "Le Lai de la Fonteinne". Which is a collection of pure melodies and 3 voice canons.

YEAH BABY!!!

"Dame, de qui toute ma joie vient" IMHO is just as beautiful. That is the first selection on "The Mirror of Narcissus."

Is there any other Machaut that is this beautiful? (please don't tell me the Missa de Notre Dame, I love it, but it is NOT as beautiful as this) Thanks!!

Frank James

Isn't it actually all dudes on the NAWM?? That always freaked me out, hearing that counter tenor, you know?, but this Rondeaux is so beautiful, my favorite Machaut...

The Gothic Voices is the original recording on the NAWM and the album is called The Mirror of Narcisuss. There are several other Machaut pieces that are wonderful on the album. The Gothic Voices also have several great albums with 14th century music. I very highly recommend them!

the great Orlando Consort, the song is really beautiful, i love this great Cd (the Rose, the Lily & the Worthenberry), really thanks!!

NAWM 26 is taken from "The Mirror or Narcissus" by Gothic Voices, which uses two female and two male voices for 'Rose, Liz Printemps, Verdure" (NAWM #26). Gothic Voices is probably the best medieval ensemble of all time. Buy the album, it's honestly my favorite music album across all genres.

If you already know this, sorry... Because of conventions re music notation/performance in the 1300s & later, there is disagreement about what notes to sing as printed & which to sharpen or flatten in performances. Also, at least one edition of this piece (which I have) is printed with an additional harmony line (Contratenor II) that a scholar told me was prob added by somebody else... don't sing it! The Orlando version has the harmonies I am used to. But there are other lovely versions.
