Quelle émotion. Voici l'Europe civile la plus avancée, des jeunes français chantent en galicien médiéval et en latin. Que dire, du jamais vu! Oui mes dames et messieurs, c'est ça l'Europe de civilisations avancées à laquelle nous devrions tous aspirer. Longue vie à notre culture de lumière!
Amen.
Amém
Magnifique; Merci pour cette présentation, tout ce travail, tous ces talents. merci pour ce partage.
Simply MAGNIFICENT!
Merci pour cette belle et discrète performance qui a dû coûter beaucoup de préparation. Cela touche les racines de notre civilisation chrétienne européenne. Salutations d'Anvers, Belgique
Je découvre cette vidéo par un hasard providentiel ! Quelle merveille ! Grâce et pureté, vérité et beauté s'embrassent ! MERCI d'avoir gardé mémoire de ces trésors ! Dans notre siècle chaotique, ces musiciens et choristes nous apportent un air pur, angélique, un avant-goût des beautés paradisiaques dans lesquelles nous sommes tous appelés à baigner ! Dieu, que le Ciel sera beau, tout illuminé de ces cantiques divins ! Que Dieu vous bénisse pour ce merveilleux travail que vous avez assumé. Oui, soyez tous et toutes bénis ! Alleluia !
in these times, is this lovely sacred music from Medieval Spain just the right music for so many people.
Je reste sans voix.
Cet enregistrement est une vraie merveille. La variété des voix, des sons des instruments, nous transportent littéralement. Un médicament pour l'âme à n'en pas douter. Merci pour ce partage.
Beautiful! From Texas, where Spain 🇪🇸 held the territory and the missions are still here built by the Indigenous natives and the monks.
San Antonio Texas?

I am from San Antonio. You hit the history of SA right on the mark.
@@abrahanrodriguez9003 This song are reader is gallega lenguage and a catalan language.
And some "trumpist" polititians and people try to erase all Spanish contribution to the history of the USA. Don't allow this. It's in yours hands. The Spaniards in North America were not "monsters" who exterminated native Americans... (who exterminated them? Guess)
Wunderschön arrangiert, eine Musik die mich schon seit frühester Kindheit sehr angesprochen hat. Ich fühle mich so damit verbunden als wenn ich in der Zeit schon einmal gelebt habe.....besonders auch in Spanien.
Bitte lassen Sie sich nicht von der Irrlehre der Wiedergeburt / Reinkarnation täuschen. Sie fühlen sich damit verbunden, weil sie sich von der Heiligkeit Jesu angezogen fühlen.
Walking the Camino de Santiago I once stopped by an old monastery in time for vespers. Listening to the monks sing is something that will be with me always. As pilgrim, walking a 1000 years old way, l felt I was back in the middle ages as I listen the songs. One of the many wonderful experiences of The Way of St. James.
I am from León...I am sure you remember its cathedral if you got to see it...I live in the USA
@@amparoalvarez9001 YES!!! and I looking forward to do the Camino again in September 2021!
@@crcanassr By 2021 all would have probably subsided and travel restrictions will have been lifted...Enjoy your Buen Camino
The old monastery in time for vespres sing a catalonia songs.
Cantigas of Santa María are Castilian Songs written from the King Alfonso X el sabio (The wise) who was king of Castile and Leon.
What a beautiful performance of music, music much needed for our time. Thank you Spain. Thank you France. Thank you the Christian musical tradition.
@paseante sin rumbo fijo I have never thought of Spain as being culturally underrated. It is indeed rich in culture and history. Granted, for many in Los Estados Unidos, it may not have the cultural clout, let's say, of the UK, but it is a force to be reckoned with.
@paseante sin rumbo fijo Espagne est un mot de lieu. Dedans cette presqu' ille, il y a de differents pays, des royome, de comtés , etc. La Catalonia est un principoté composée de plusieurs comtés, formés dedans les royome-imperial Carolinge. Elle a opteni le royome d' Aragon, a crée le royome de Valence. Les territoires etaient organisés de faison confederée. Chaqu' un avait les lois propes.

@@a1977cantalozella Tu te trompes. L'Espagne est une réalité culturelle riche et diversifiée. C'est bien plus qu'un nom de lieu. Tous les royaumes médiévaux entretenaient des relations et des échanges culturels, des flux de personnes, des mariages, des métissages... Ils n'étaient pas séparés par des barrières comme on le voudrait. Et ils finiraient par former ce que nous connaissons comme l'Espagne de l'ère moderne et comme une nation espagnole du 19ème siècle.
@@a1977cantalozella You're wrong. Spain is a rich and diverse cultural reality. It is much more than a place name. All medieval kingdoms maintained cultural relations and exchanges, flows of people, marriages, miscegenation ... They were not separated by barriers as you would like. And they would end up forming what we know as Spain from the Modern Age and as a Spanish Nation from the 19th century.
Esta música es maravillosa. Gracias por traerla a estos tiempos.Susana.Córdoba.Argentina
merci beaucoup pour cette belle musique, les chants des anges, Continuez de chanter pour toujours, cela fait du bien a nos ames. Dieu vous benisse !
Almost unworldly beautiful music superbly performed...truly healing in these times of stress and turmoil....Thank you.
One of the greatest show of youtube definitly.....Amen. OneLove Thank you x1000
Increible impresionante, bellisimo, gracias !!!!❤
Esto es una reliquia que vivirá en la posteridad muchísimas gracias por subir este video, bellísimo, hermoso sin palabras, saludos de Lima Perú, un amante de la música europea con cultura
Las cantigas de Santa Maria fueron compuestas por Alfonso Decimo el Sabio, Rey de Castilla, escritas en el idioma Gallego, mas dulce al oido que el Castellano, y en aquella epoca, idioma romance mas culto de la peninsula Iberica. Ambos idiomas, absolutamente Españoles.
Three years later, I wonder if these singers and musicians know how much hope and beauty they continue to offer this fraught world of ours.
An oasis of beauty in a world gone mad. Thank you!
Quelle merveille ! Merci à tous, à chacun pour votre interprétation magistrale et tellement vivante, vibrante. Gratitude.
By God, there still is BEAUTY in the world!!! BRAVO!!!!! BRAVOOOOOO!!!
Le choeur et la musique des anges... Absolument sublime. Bravo et merci aux Musiciens de Saint-Julien et à la Maîtrise de Radio France, qui ont su faire revivre cette merveilleuse et ancienne musique espagnole !
Que viva la fé Cristiana para siempre.
La verdadera Fe, es el preámbulo a la felicidad eterna.
Very talented, very accomplished, very worthwhile. May our culture soar to new heights and may this music renew our souls.
Oraciones a España de Católicos Indonesios. Magnifica musica! 🙏🇮🇩 🇪🇸⛪️✝️🎶
Avec cette merveilleuse prestation je ne me sens plus seul à Noël. mercci youtube.
By chance I found this link, how beautiful to listen to over the years the "Cantigas a Santa Maria" by Alfonso XX "the wise", the parallel fifths, the circular canon, and how little by little the polyphony is being put together until reaching the period of early renaissance.
How much medieval music contributed in the 20th century, both in rock music of the 70's, as in modern and contemporary academic composers, is even present in the "new age" music. This music will survive forever, and what relevance it has in our current times. Beautiful concert of ancient music.!BRAVO!
Alfonso X; 10th
Just stunning!
Bellísima música y mejor interpretación ♥ Saludos desde Chile
Stunning performance and atmosphere.
In preparation of my St James de Compostela walk I became involved in an accident and broke my Achilles tendons. It's been 2years ago and I am still recovering. This music blesses me, it gives me peace of mind and make me forget the pain I have in my right leg. The Lord Jesus is been graceful over me.
Espero que te repongas de tu tendon de Aquiles y puedas pronto continuar tu peregrinacion hacia Santiago de Compostela. Buen camino.
Muy hermosos cantos a la Virgen María.
Excelent !
Nice.
From México City.
Concierto grandioso. Una delicia escuchar y observar a los intérpretes, la música y las canciones. Una delicia!
Vaya maravilla!!! GRACIAS!!!
Это неописуемое ощущение. Ангельские голоса. Господи, благослови великими благословениями этих людей.
Слава Отцу и Сыну и Святому Духу
Радуйся Мария Благодатная, Господь с Тобой.
Ты самая Благословенная из всех женщин, когда-либо живших на этой Земле, и Благословен Сын Твой, Иисус Христос, Сын Отца Небесного.
Dès les premières voix , j'ai ressenti une paix infinie, encore tangible malgré le silence.
Merci
Saludos desde Irapuato,Guanajuato,MEXICO,un pedacito del cielo y cantos y música celestial,bellísimo .
Bellas alabanzas del Medioevo, verdaderas joyas, dignas de oír. Llevan a meditar .
Spain is such a beautiful country, culture, and people...Many blessings from America. †
The first part is about The Red Book of Montserrat (1399), written musical notations, adorned with elegant miniatures, at which finds the first choreographic notation, that was still very rudimentary, of what hom has news at the world. It includes a compilation of chants and dances of the pilgrims of varied provenances from langue d'Oc and catalan, translated to latin sometimes.
Spain is beautiful country, but The Red Book of Montserrat isn't spanish.
Las cantigas de Santa Maria, un segle abans, son escrites en galego. Spain es només castellano o español?...
I wish that the culture was kinder to animals. I really wish that they would permanently end bullfighting as well. The music and dance, though, are enchanting.
Pero ha sido destruiído por la mentira, en forma de leyenda negra
@@trenfutur As long as it is catalan, IT IS Spanish or French. Let's do Phylosophy. 17 regions in Spain, each different but united under Spain. You think you're so different or special that makes laugh to the rest of Spaniards. Middle ages Cataluña was part of Aragón. Then, that music is Aragonesa ... hahahaha
Tres beaux. , Beautiful., Bellísimo. Spain is Great.
Bellissimo. 👏
Superbe concert de musique envoutante et psalmodique. Un vrai plaisir pour les oreilles. Merci a tous ces interprètes pour ce moment de grâce.
I sought. I found, thanks to you for uploading this. Simply beautiful, uplifting, transcendent. This might be the best thing I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Christ is King.
Je suis très émue par cette musique et par les commentaires qu'elle suscite...à notre époque.
Elle a un côté sauvage ou méditatif à d'autres moments.
Je me sens reliée aux générations qui nous ont précédés et à leur ferveur.
Merci !
Jamais entendu de si belle voix, quelle sonorité, quelle grâce, magnifique ensemble. Des interprétations des ces deux compositeurs que je ne connaissaient pas, une beauté du thème, du rythme, de la musicalité, une merveille. Merci Arutha Ramiel pour votre si beau partage.
Watching from Philippines I felt like travel back to medieval time , early christian song is so angelic , such a beauty .. Godbless
Indeed, hearing the "beginnings" of my mother tongue just hits different hahaha it must be something similar to you even if a little considering we are "cousings" lol
Godbless from Central América
On the year 722 : there wasn't Portugal, nor Cataluña, nor even Spain , just the Mountain Kingdom of Asturias , and it's the Virgin who appears to king Don Pelayo, and Says : Fight and Resist! , and Indeed resisted !!! , To the overwhelming Power Muslim Invasion, from there on Castilla and Portugal were recovered, during that time Cataluña was praying to Allah on their knees and ass up , until at last they were freed from slavery, 400 years later by the Christian Armies.
What á blow to their Pride! We should be _Forever_ grateful to Spain , never forget , because, otherwise, this music never would be possible .
Best performance of Le Livre Vermeil I have ever seen! Beautiful voices and musicians. This is the third time I am listening to this beautiful perfomance! And not the last time...
I concur with the comments extolling this most gorgeous music. For believers it leads directly to the heart of God. For nonbelievers maybe it allows them/us to gain consolation for the woes of this sometimes heartless world and to contemplate: maybe I was wrong. Maybe, just maybe there is...
Jo soc de Montsserrat...i aquesta és la interpretació mes extraordinària que he sentit mai del Llibre Vermell de Montsserrat,.... moltíssimes gràcies !!!
Ojalá esta música no desaparezca y se publique más, por lo sublime y espiritual
Maravilhoso, etéreo, sublime. Um abraço do Brasil. ❤❤❤❤
Quelle réussite que ce concert, tout y est... Merci pour ce moment de grâce et de bonheur
Música eterna de los reinos de la España medieval para el mundo y los siglos venideros. Magnifico coro y magníficos músicos.
Gracias.
De acuerdísimo.....BRAVO desde San Agustinillo!
@@tiagosantos7968 Of course, it is spanish music, came from Kingdoms that are now part of Spain.
God bless these beautiful young people.
Sublime, sobrecogedor, un llamado al alma, poético, me emociona tan bellas melodías y voces, sin pirotecnia musical , allí esta música de ancestros perdidos en la historia que amaban la vida tanto como a Dios. Gracias por este regalo maravilloso!!!!
Christmas 2019. It's sacred and it's music. I'm listening to this as I decorate my tree. My dog is looking at me like I'm a fool for dancing but she'll soon join. This is incredible. Thank you for posting.
I listen often, the cantiga a Maria is A1
Dogs often look at us like we're fools. I've learned to ignore them. :-)

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSICAL PRESENTATIONS I HAVE EVER HEARD. BRAVO!
Meraviglioso. Esecuzione impeccabile, musiche stupende. Complimenti davvero!
God speaks to us, gently and lovingly, though music like this. He invites us always into his home and into his loving embrace. Inspiring music and beautifully played and sung by talented musicians. Blessings from Florida!
Le "llibre vermell de Montserrat" est un recueil merveilleusement envoûtant. L'interprétation est à la hauteur.
I can listen to this music for hours on end. Peaceful, sacred. Gorgeous.
It's amazing to me that music this old hasn't been lost. That we still have these treasures is such a great blessing. Thank you for making this available for us to hear.
Exactly! It's like time travel, truly wonderful. I love the music of ages past.
It was kept by the monks in Montserrat's abbey (Catalonia)
The scores were gathering dust in libraries. They were discovered by musicology in the 60s.
Masterpiece
Divine,
Music of the soul,
angels voices,
i could listen always&forever.
Merci, extraordinaire, BigLove from Quebec Canada, Montreal : )

Absolutely wonderful. Spanish medieval music with the medieval instruments and human voices. Sacred music, sacred thoughts and actions within the composer, artist and listener. Deo gratias!
To be precise, this is not Spanish medieval but Catalan medieval music, from before Spain existed.
@@perrymanso6841 the Cantigas are not Catalan
@@mrchivanegra the "Llibre vermell de Montserrat" is not Catalan? WTF?
@@perrymanso6841 Cataluña pertenecía al Reino de Aragón, era un Condado, por lo tanto es música aragonesa
@@perrymanso6841 the king alfonso x himself , yes, the same king who composed and compiled las cantigas wrote too the famous book " estoria de España", history of spain, and in this way, with ñ. So, of course, spain did exist since the year 587 and the king recaredo. And Cataluña has been always spain, just a bunch of small counties always under the command of the king of aragón .
This is why I feel European and love Europe from Ireland to Iceland to Portugal all the way to Greece and Turkey and back through Russia to Finland. We are brothers and sisters through music.
With love from the Netherlands 💚

Prayers for Spain. May the healing power of music be with all its people on this Good Friday 2020
Esto es de lo mas bonito que he escuchado en tiempos. Música y armonías sencillas, donde la percusión sigue a la melodía y no al revés como se hace ahora. Sublime.
Many of these songs were taught to us by the Nuns at Saint Ann School, Beaumont, TX, some 70 years ago. I still remember many of the words in English and Latin. The music is as spritual now as then. Most thankful I have found this on UA-cam.
Hello from dun laoghaire

this type of a concert certainly fits well within the walls of an ancient church building.. not those rock concerts and performances often held in holy shrines... thumbs up, hands down and hats off to you guys... may the Lord be praised... make Christendom great again!!!
