Daniel Mantey - 'Novo Profusio Gaudio' - (Medieval Carol, English 13th century)
Daniel Mantey - 'Novo Profusio Gaudio' - (Medieval Carol, English 13th century) Tube. Duration : 1.10 Mins.
'Novo Profusio Gaudio' - English anon. 13th century, Medieval Christmas Carol. Performed by Daniel Mantey - Music All Sorts; alto and tenor recorders. A Medieval English 'macaronic' Christmas Carol! Macaronic? No, not macaroni, but perhaps a similar etymology? A 'macaronic' song is one in which many languages are used together; rather hodge-podge if you will? This carol uses Latin, French, and English for each verse: in fact each line, in that order, with the fourth line again in Latin. The Choruses (Burdens, as they were then called!) are all in Latin. To save all the confusion, I use two recorders! I do apologize, I am using two Baroque recorders (as pictured in the video) to play a Medieval piece, and we are not entirely sure they might have had a tenor recorder this early, though certainly an alto might have been around (we are always guessing!)? But the sound is right on, and the Pythagorian tuning just as they would have done. What a wonderful composition! Beautiful counterpoint, and such dynamic, complex rhythms!!! The main melody is the one on the bottom. From my WInter CD.
