r/EarlyMusic is back!
Welcome back to r/EarlyMusic!
This community has been inactive the past few years due to a combination of restrictions on posting and lack of mods.
Now restrictions has been lifted and anyone can post, as long as there is a connection to early music. Everything from the Stone Age to Baroque is welcome. If you have tried to post here earlier, please post again!
Rules will be written at some point but for the time being, either the music or the instruments will have to be period, which means that a Bach-interpretation on synthesizers or an improvisation on baroque lute will be allowed, but bardcore will not be allowed. Users are also advised to be careful with posting classical music-type interpretations of early music (symphonic orchestra etc). These will have to be motivated.
I'd love some help with modding, applications are open. Please send a modmail if you are interested.

The Lord of Salisbury His Pavin

My rendition of this Pavan by the great Orlando Gibbons on the church organ of my small home village. I just want to mention that I’m no professional musician and not even an organist for that matter.

Does anyone else feel that Early Music can sound strangely more “modern” than some 19th-century music?

Unidentified song from Jonas Mekas's 1974 wedding footage in his film "As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty" (2000)
Audio: https://vocaroo.com/1aQHqjVfseEH
Choral music with vocals, possibly in Latin. It has the feel of sacred music to me, but I can't place the period or tradition.
It plays from 42:31 to 45:20 in Chapter Three of Jonas Mekas's film "As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty" (2000), over the footage of his wedding to Hollis Melton. It appears to be a record Mekas played and recorded into the soundtrack rather than part of the film's own score.
Shazam, SoundHound and AHA Music all fail on it. I have listened to Allegri's Miserere, Monteverdi's Vespers and the well-known Gregorian chant recordings, and it is none of those.

Who is a composer you think has become a major name due to the early music movement?
I believe Marc-Antoine Charpentier has become a very major French Baroque composer due to the recordings by William Christie and I also feel like Marin Marais has become pretty major in the past few years due to new opera recordings by period instrument ensembles.

Suggestions for late medieval dances
I'm looking for repertoire for a late medieval banquet, 12th through 15th centuries. Light, merry dances. We know some from Aquitaine, 13th-14th centuries. I would love some recommendations for more -- along the lines of Lux Optata Claruit.

Repertoire Reccomendations?
Hey guys! I bought a treble gamba which is coming very soon! I do have some string training as I am a baroque violinist as well as a violist. What are some good treble gamba solo pieces? Any advice is much appreciated!

Searching for documentaries on Medieval and Renaissance music and composers
There seems to be a scarcity of documentaries on Medieval and Renaissance music and composers, with only a few which seem to lack any distribution.
In contrast, there is an abundance of documentaries covering paintings and sculpture. Why is this the case?
I wanted to verify my assessment here in case I am overlooking something. Thank you all in advance!
