What are you listening to?

[Harmonie]

Berceuse from the Firebird Suite by Stravinsky.

We played this in orchestra last Spring semester, but only just now has it hit me exactly how beautiful it really is.

[xSilverPhinx]

Lost Frequencies feat. Janieck Devy - Reality

[Asmodean]

The Cure - Burn

[philosoraptor]

I can't get enough of Capital Cities' "In A Tidal Wave of Mystery" right now.  It's such a damn catchy album.

[Harmonie]

Some beautiful music from the Medieval era.

[Davin]

I think some 80's leaked out.

Kavinsky - Nightcall (Drive Original Movie Soundtrack)

[Asmodean Prime]

Oz Metalcore.

Parkway Drive - Writings on the Wall

[OldGit]

Radiant, that mediaeval music is lovely.

Radiant, that mediaeval music is lovely.

Yes, attractive enough, though the odd time signature makes it difficult to grasp a melody.

A little googling on the matter reveals that the everyday street music of the era is lost to history. Mostly, what remains of musical notation is church music and forms the basis of our idea of what 'medieval music' sounds like. Furthermore, much of the annotation of time signatures (mensural notation) is contextual and without any available translation the 'flavour' of the music will probably never be reconstructed for modern ears.

Also, they don't have the old instruments; the mediaeval Griboons, the Scroppits and Whurglers cannot be substituted for by modern kazoos, mouth-organs and bum trumpets.

Me thinks if I have time today I will go and pick up this new release from Sir Elvis Costello.

Unfaithful Music & Soundtrack Album

This certainly brings back memories. Saw Sir Elvis back in the early to mid 80's here in Ann Arbor, MI. at the Hill Auditorium...vaguely remember details about the concert...believe we took some shrooms that evening,...but what a time we had. Must have been 10 of us crowded into a friends van as we drove from Detroit to Ann Arbor.
Spent the night afterward the show on campus at the University of Michigan at a friends dorm...couldn't find our other friends the next day so girlfriend and I had to hitch-hike back Detroit.

Then her and I had to drive back to our university all the way across state...hardly enough money for gas...tired as shit, no food, fucking heater in my car wasn't working, so we had to wrap ourselves in blankets for the 2.5 hour ride .

Best of times.

edited 1x because of fucking grammar.

Mozart's Piano Concerto #20 in Dm.  Very relaxing.

Right, most of the music we have from early music eras are church music, because they kept a much better record of music. (There's also the probably pretty obvious fact that a lot of music was not played by sheet, so no record of it even exists).

Sadly, that limits the amount of instrumental music, too, because for a fair amount of time the church looked down on instruments, thinking that vocals are the only (pardon the pun) voice for God.

The church has always been against everything good. Lol.

Not to say that vocal music is not great, because it is. The majority of early music I have and listen to is polyphonic choral music from the Renaissance. Such gorgeous music.

It's my turn to feel happy...right now...with the aid of Malbec Chile wine. 
I'm sorry if you're not happy as I am...right now.
