Ye Olde Worlde Music Hit Parade

[Skandinav]

Yes, we really should get permission, perhaps write them a nice letter in Icelandic, AUlë.

 

[Dralion]

There's a ton of period music out there like this

Even if some of the music isn't exactly period, it can help with atmosphere

Thanks kuauik

 

[Skandinav]

What about copy rights on the already included music ?

Btw. could you perhaps remove some of the more electronic, modern music, othr ? I like it quite much but I think it is a bit immersion-breaking.

 

[Aule_the_creator]

hmm... perhaps...

I'll send them an e-mail.

 

[othr]

Some music included is copyrighted and should be removed or permission should be obtained.

Quite a few music pieces are from http://commonwealth.pl/, the music is copyrighted but can be included but not sold.

 

[Pagan]

"I'd like to see more authentic music

This is a tongue in cheek post, but give me REAL music!"

i have a couple ye olde slavic music. The singer/band is Serbian, in old Serb/slavic, So would fit for anyone of balkan/east euro i would think. but i have no info as to who it is or even the song name. took it from a compilation disk of a friend, way way back. 2-3 tracks for memory, ill try and find em if you want. Very beautifull stuff that fits perfect with what you have, Othr.

 

[Amundr]

Music made by Léonin and Pérotin are pretty historically accurate for the time though its church music i think and not worldly music.
Can be found on youtube here and here.

 

[Aule_the_creator]

church music is probably the only historical music that has survived to this day. Not exactly a lot of written sources for party music.

 

[Amundr]

True enough though some have survived by being played until they could be written down(and we have few enough of those) its hard to say if they didn't change in some way in the meantime.

 

[Aule_the_creator]

I suggest that anything from before 1600 that sounds remotely medieval could be used

 

[Amundr]

What! Shouldn't we strive for historical accuracy here ? 

 

[Tancred_de_Houdan]

The Song of Roland must definitely be included as it was the medieval Top of the Pops for centuries.

What about these:

Very famous. Richard's song. I have to say that this version's ending is orgasmic.
-------
And The Palestine Song MUST be included! As in relation to 1257 it only came out a couple of decades ago.
I recommend this version or something similar(if you can find some):

[Turanien]

I spent a good time enjoying 1257, trying it out, that was until I was hit by a throng of electronic beats layered beneath a rather quaint medieval melody. I turned the music off right there. So please, whatever track has the electronic beats, remove it.

 

[Cèsar de Quart]

Try out the "Capella de Ministrers", a chamber of Medieval music re-enactors, or the Cantigas de Santa Maria, musicated by kinf Alfonso the Wise, of Castille. Songs in old Castillian and Occitan. You can't have a true Medieval mod without songs in Provençal, the language of troubadours and minstrils.

From the Cantigas:

Try out several troubadours, like:

Raimbaut de Vaqueiras

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMiNOMEvsAs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZpuzb6cbJU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CHFLYhmqxA

Beatriu de Dia (a trobairitz, a woman troubadour):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt8dWGH7nf0&feature=related

Berenguer de Palou:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkh6LhWj5IA&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxmpfvvGHMA&feature=related

And many others. Peire Vidal, Jofre de Foixà, Guillem de Berguedà, Guillem de Cabestany... Check out Wikipedia's list for more troubadours, many of them have some songs which survived till today and mostly they wrote them between 1150 and 1300:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Troubadours



The worst name for a Medieval music re-enactor group: Mediaeval Baebes. But they have some interesting songs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVKLo9YepUg

What about Scarborough Fair? Isn't it from the XIVth Century? (yes, the version could be better, but the only one besides this I found was Simon & Garfunkel's...)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lTDDf9NoLg

****

Funny thing my language is so close to old Occitan, I can understand most of those songs.

By the way, Thibaut's song sounds a lot like Occitan. Curious how pronunciation changed through the ages, although English is the master of pronunciation mutations with its Great Vowel Shift.

Indeed.

Here's another one: Deus Iudex Iustus, usually related with Justinian for some reason:

[Amundr]

Great stuff Cèsar, especially the  troubadour stuff.

Im abit concerned about the legality of using the music we get from youtube and the like, could it be seen as fair use ? (suppose that depends alot on the country)
How has previous mods handled this ?

 

[Urlik]

if I was in charge of this mod, I wouldn't include any music.
instead I would add a text file with a list of suitable music and the file names of the game music it should replace.
saves a lot of bandwidth and also avoids any nasty legal wrangles

Thanks for those bad dreams kuauik, really!

 

[Skandinav]

Great music Cèsar, and very interesting.

As I've said before I agree very much with Eirikur in regards to the electronic music, any chance of it being removed from the mod, othr ?
