It seems like music from 1600-1900 still gets a lot of attention (or at least the most popular composers from those periods do). However music from the middle-ages rarely gets any attention at all. I thought this thread would be better suited to /his/ than /mu/. Post your favourite medieval compositions (or recreations) ITT.
Alfonso X el Sabio - Cantigas Santa Maria
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj5Bc8zwwU0
>The Cantigas de Santa Maria are 420 poems with musical notation, written in Galician-Portuguese during the reign of Alfonso X El Sabio (1221–1284) and often attributed to him.
Richard Coeur-De-Lion - Troubadours et Trouvères
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ_586CLHDM
>Compilation of music written by various medieval french troubadours such as Bernart de Ventadorn and Gace Brulé, as well as some anonymous compositions too.
Chant of the Templars - Salve Regina
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv_2x6JmuaE
>Hymn to the Virgin Mary by Hermann of Reichenau.
I've been listening to a bit of early renaissance clavierchord lately, dislike harpsichord generally but I dig more sparse and open clavierchord composition.
Vox Vulgaris - The Shape Of Medieval Music To Come
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tme4c-p6IM0
>Vox Vulgaris is or was a Swedish group founded in the end of the 1990s, playing medieval music on instruments like bagpipes and percussion
>They neither want to perform the authentic medieval melodies in a purely "academic" way, nor turning into medievalist rock'n'roll kitsch. Instead, they mean that the only authentic way to approach this early music is in an improvising way, allowing for the musicians' own contemporary influences to shine through without taking over - like musicians have done in all times.
Codex Las Huelgas, unbielivably beautiful music of Cistercian nuns from Spain.

Eric Boulanger has literally hundreds of medieval/renaissance songs on his channel.
This is the song I heard first, and it's my favourite on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHqoJoWa2zY

I wonder how accurate these modern renditions are. There was some form of primitive musical notation, but they weren't all that common from what I know.

Because medcucks had shit taste in music and this trend holds true up until the modern day.

honestly they're probably playing too precisely on notation
mongolians have been keeping it real since the middle-ages

I love listening to music by Ludwig Senfl, a Swiss composer and court musician of Maximilian I. I first heard his music on the EU2 soundtrack.

While Old Roman and Gregorian chants are really cool, Mozarabic chants are my personal favourite.

Ockeghem is godly.
You'd actually like the Spice & Wolf soundtrack. It's very faithful to medieval tunes and instruments, and does a fair job capturing the spirit.
