Ensemble: Ordo Virtutum Album: Insula Felix Video: W.7, Reichenau Gospels / Last one from Gero Kodex01 (Anno from the Scriptorium of Reichenau delivers a finished Codex.) http://www.facebook.com/musicamedievale • Insula felix, "augia felix", fortunate island ~ fruitful island. So Walahried Strabo sings in the ninth century in one of his most famous poems, the Metnum Saphicum, longing for his beloved island monastery from afar, while he stays in Fulda for his education, and Reichenau, together with St. Gallen, was truly a stronghold of science and art, a cradle of European culture in the Lake of Constance. In both places chant, poetry and illuminations flourished. In contrast to the Abbey of St. Gall, however, the manuscript treasures, which had in the past been guarded by Reginbert, the famous monastery librarian, were scattered to the four winds. So it is research in recent years which has achieved for the first time an approximate reconstruction of the musical culture of the island monastery. This recording shows for the fist time the at temp to devise a programme solely from music of the Reichenau monastery or music most closely connected with it. To this end many manuscrips have been consulted and newly transcribed. - Prof. Dr. Stefan Johannes Morent • 1 Tropen zum Stephanus-Introitus 'Et enim sederunt principes' 2 Sequenz 'Veni spiritus aeternorum alme' 3 Melodiemodell 'Occidentana' (instrumental) 4 Sequenz 'Pangat ymnum Augiensis' (De Sancto Ianuario) 5 Sequenz 'Sancti martyris festum' (De Sancto Marco) 6 Georgslied 'Gorio fuor ze malo' 7 Melodiemodell 'Cignea' (instrumental) 8 Antiphon 'Venerandi patris Uodalrici' - Magnificat (aus: Historia Sancti Uoda...) 9 Invitatorium 'Adoremus regem Christum' - 'Venite exultemus' (Ps. 94) 10 Responsorium 'Beatissimi pontificis' (In primo nocturno) 11 Responsorium 'Miris magnorum' (aus: Historia Sancti Magni - Ad primas vesperas) 12 Responsorium 'Post sancti patris obitum' (In primo nocturno) 13 Responsorium 'Confessor domini' (In tertio nocturno) 14 Marianische Antiphon 'Salve Regina' 15 Melodiemodell 'Puella turbata' (instrumental) 16 Sequenz 'Cantemus cuncti melodum' 17 Versus in laude felicis Augiae 'Musa nostrum, plange' • ?Please help this channel with a free donation: http://paypal.me/volpemirko #MedievalMusic #MusicaMedievale ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vQ8Il4FM7E

Ensemble: VocaMe Album: Kassia - Byzantine Hymns from the First Female Composer of the Occident Video: Add MS 19352, XI secolo http://www.facebook.com/musicamedievale • About 290 years before the brilliant Hildegard of Bingen was born, Kassia was born in Constantinople, the oldest female composer of whom we have complete musical works today. Of Greek-Byzantine origin, she distinguished herself at an early age for her intelligence and beauty. Many chroniclers, a few years later than her such as Simeon Metaphraste, George the monk (also called George the sinner) and Leo the Mathematician, maintain that she participated in the Parade of Brides in which the Byzantine emperor Theophilus was supposed to choose his bride, delivering to the chosen one, as usual, a golden apple. Fascinated by Kassia's beauty, the young emperor approached her and said: "Through a woman the basest passions are distilled (referring to Eve's original sin)." Kassia responded to him by saying, "But through a woman come the best things (referring to the birth of Jesus)." Out of pride, Theophilus chose another bride, Theodora. Kassia founded a monastery west of Constantinople of which she became the abbess. A letter from Theodore Studite indicates that she was in close relationship with the nearby monastery of Studion which played a central role in the revival of the Byzantine liturgy between the 9th and 10th centuries. This situation has contributed to the fact that Kassia's works have survived intact to the present day. She wrote many hymns for the Christian liturgy, the most famous of which is Kassiani's Hymn which is sung on Holy Tuesday. Tradition, which became legend, holds that Emperor Theophilus, in love with Kassia, asked to see her one more time before dying. He therefore went to her monastery. She was writing a hymn when she heard that the emperor wanted to see her. So she left her unfinished work on the table and hid behind a door. Theophilus entered the cell alone but did not find Kassia. He looked for her in the cell but she wasn't there; hidden she looked at him. Teophilius was very sad, he cried and regretted having, in a fit of pride, rejected such a beautiful and intellectual woman. Then he noticed the unfinished hymn lying on the table and read it. When he had read it he sat down at the table and finished the hymn that Kassia had left incomplete. Legend says that as he was about to leave he glimpsed Kassia but did not speak to her. The VocaMe ensemble is one of the many projects of the German musician Michael Popp, certainly very talented and original in his research, but I have always approached his productions with extreme caution given that in many of his ensembles he does not disdain the use of electronics, even when it comes to early music. In this album, although in the booklet he is mentioned as a director and player of "various musical instruments", I don't seem to have captured any unphilological elements within the album which I really like a lot. Regarding the video: I had been keeping the wonderful images of Theodore Psalter, Constantinople, 1066 - Add MS 19352 for years waiting to find a suitable musical work and I think that the album by the German female ensemble Vocame is definitely perfect both for its time than for the place of origin. The women musicians depicted in the manuscript, in addition to Kassia's works, should make us reflect on how many things there are still to discover about the female repertoire of the past which has always been considered very small, but which certainly requires greater attention and research.
