Testdriving Era II in a Pseudo-Dufay-Ish Motet ('Mon Coeur Détruit' by Fugitempus)

Bought Era II recently and wanted to testdrive it immediately; wrote some 'medieval' things in the past and now I had a chance - finally - to make it sound right. 

This is a motet I wrote in Dufay-style, many years ago. In this testdrive I tested quite some instruments of the Era II library, including a bunch of recorders, bowed strings (viola de roda, nyckelharpa and bass viola da gamba), plucked strings (zither, langeleik and early renaissance harp) and a diverse percussion ensemble. 

Will be sharing more of my Era II exploits soon, but the conslusion for  the time being: like!

Stock crash middle class 
Counterfeit crime of a century
Cutthroat don’t choke
Better him than you on the brink

Cool breeze charismatic
Grave robbing scam of a century
Drill baby thrill baby
Burning up an Anthropocene

It’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony
It’s been a long time since I realized I couldn’t relate
I’ve been craning my neck trying to see if there’s a sign that was meant for me I said it’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony

Bring it back

Pill-poppin priest talkin trash 
Through the crash of a century
Blind luck dumb fuck 
Jamming up the waves on my scene

Flip top shock jock 
Certified creep of a century
I see you don’t know how to read
But you write like you know what it means

It’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony
It’s been a long time since I realized I couldn’t relate
I’ve been craning my neck trying to see if there’s a sign that was meant for me. I said it’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony

Bring it back
