Cantemir III. El Doncel del Mar

Two conducti from the Ludus Danielis, a French mystery play of the 12th century. The first is called "Astra tenenti cunctipotenti", the second "simul omnes gratulemur" and refers to many different types of instruments that would presumably have been used in this context.

Astra tenenti cunctipotenti
Turba virilis et puerilis
Contio plaudit
Simul omnes gratulemur,
resonent et tympana;
citharistae tangant cordas,
musicorum organa
resonent ad ejus praeconia.


Astra Tenenti Cunctipotenti

A love song by the troubador Bernart de Ventadorn (c. 1130-1190).

Can Vei La Lauzeta

Villancico from Cancionero de Upsala, 1556. Despite the name it is a Spanish song collection with many great songs usually in 4 parts, which is the case here. I play a combination of shawms and crumhorns, as well as percussion. The track actually starts with another tune, "All Voll", from the German Glogauer Liederbuch, ca 1480. The wonderful lyrics go:
Bist du voll, so lege dich nieder / steh früh auf und fülle dich wieder
das ganze Jahr / den Abend und den Morgen / All voll, all voll, all voll / all voll, all voll, all voll.
Not exactly a song for the teetotaller, since it means:
If you are drunk, then lie down, but get up again early and start drinking again, the whole year, in the evening and in the morning. All drunk, all drunk, etc.

This recording was featured in the soundtrack to the computer game "Dominions 4" by Illwinter Game Design (www.illwinter.com).

Rey Aquien Reyes Adoran

A song about spring, from Piae Cantiones (1582). I play harp and Härjedalspipa in low D (a traditional Swedish folk whistle), made by Gunnar Stenmark.

Lyrics:
In vernali tempore ortu lætabundo,
Dum recedunt frigora nunciat hirundo,
Terræ, marries, nemoris decus adest deforis,
Renovato mundo
Vigor redit corporis cedit dolor pectoris,
Tempore iucundo.

In Vernali Tempore

Originally a 3-part conductus of the Notre Dame school, this tune is also found in the medieval song collection Carmina Burana. I play two shawms and bass cornamuse (a type of straight crumhorn).

Enter an inn warmed with a large hearth and the lively music of a group of minstrels. All appears to be normal, until the regular residents notice a group of weirdly dressed strangers sitting off by themselves. They look like they're in deep conversation and no one intervenes. Things get even more bizarre as more exotic strangers show up to join the secret group. Little do the people of the inn know, that this closed meeting of powerful leaders from all corners of the globe may change the world.

World Fusion Music - Two Moons Inn

War is over; victory is achieved but at a heavy cost. As a mighty warrior and his few comrades return home from the battle, all the towns they pass through celebrate in victory. Still, the hero can never forget the war and he vows never to fight again.
