@@resourcedragon Some Highland Scots have a 🎵"hurgen durgen" 🎶 kind of accent similar to that you hear in Norway, Sweden, etc. It's beautiful. 🙂👍🏴
I have been transported to 7th century England. There is laughter and song, ale to drink and lasses to behold. Alas, I am not coming back. Thank you, Peter, for another voyage back to a simpler time.
As a German who also understands Low German ('Low Saxon'), I find some of these lyrics quite comprehensible, but the subtitles also helped a lot here and there (thanks for providing them). Another great performance!
@@ThomasVonHerzberg That isn't really correct either. Low German, or Niederdeutsch, originated or is the latest form of Altsächsisch. I called Niederdeutsch "Low Saxon" for good reasons, which might not be conventional, but when you look at it, more correct.
What a precious surprise to be gifted yet another gem of sound by you, Peter. And the story behind the hymn was lovely. It has been such a long time since I last heard Old English spoken,- hearing it sung was a first time. Thankyou.
3:24 "he erst schoop" "Er erst schuf" in modern german. I love old englisch and old german. It allways brings me Joy knowing that back in the day we where so close language and culture wise. :D 🇬🇧🇩🇪✝️✌🏻
Google translate tells me "Er erst schuf" is "He first created". I wonder what schuf/schoop morphed into in modern English. I often find Anglo-Saxon words survive in slang or in some regional dialects, even when they are no longer considered to be "good" English.
@@resourcedragon My uninformed guess is "shaped," given that "schafen" is to work, maybe used as we "work" the clay or the wood (or other stuff/Stoffe) in English. Just a shot.
as a native German speaker, i am awestruck and amazed by how similar some of the Old English words sound. this must date back when the two languages barely diverged. edit: i get it, people, you have all made your points, you can stop commenting on the stupid german's post
"Old English developed from a set of Anglo-Frisian or Ingvaeonic dialects originally spoken by German tribes traditionally known as the Angles, Saxons and Jutes. As such, Old English was a "thoroughly Germanic cousin of Dutch and German", unrecognisable as English today" From the Wikipedia page on Old English. It's a very interesting topic :) especially how it developed closer to the English we know today.
1:21 - I found it strange that an abess led monks, but it seems that the highly skilled and devoted Saint Hilda of Whitby took care of several combined monastic communities, whose lay part included Caedmon. Amazing History.

You truly have the voice of an angel. I adore everything I learn from your videos, & yours is by far my favorite channel. Every update fills me with indescribable joy.
So lovely! My favorite contemporary Christian music group took inspiration from the tale of Caedmon, in fact they took on his name: Caedmon's Call. Their music is simple and folkish with a focus on the humility, contemplativeness and love that Jesus commanded of his followers.
What a very unique place Peter Pringle occupies in the world of music and poetry. As my country's top traditional lyric poet, I cannot recommend this site more highly. What could be more important than a channel that gives us some idea of how the lost world of the past actually sounded? Mr. Pringle, you've earned a subscriber!
Hats off to you Peter, SIR. So much Honor and tradition passed through Music. I'm so glad I found your creation. AMAZING, THE AMOUNT OF WORK YOU MUST HAVE DONE TO BRING THIS TO US. 👏🏻 👍🏻
Peter this is an incredible performance on all counts - the music you wrote blends seamlessly with this very old hymn, looks like the spirit of the Lord gifted you as well, and the playing and voice impeccable. Unbelievable that 7th centure English is incomprehensible to our ears - what will we sound like 13-14 centures down the line - God help us and preserve us.
This was so fascinating to learn about and beautiful to watch and listen to! I find your channel is the most interesting on YT... thank you for entertaining & educating us!! ♥️
There's a lot of German in there. Very fascinating. What's even more fascinating is that this song came to Caedmon in a dream. Why don't these kind of things happen to me?
If you make it a point to remember your dreams, it will happen. Try keeping a dream journal next to your bed - dreams are elusive beasts and fade quickly upon waking. It might also be, that you have been conditioned to disregard the value of dreams.
@@ironbard4901 I have found also that the dreams we are meant to remember happen very cinematically, and possibly quite lucidly -- meaning we are taking conscious action out on the dreamscape, even out in other realms entirely. It is for this reason the Australian aborigines view the Spirit/Dream realm as the real world and life on Earth as the illusion. 😉😁
Peter, you are always pushing forward, but backwards in history. Love the performance, and I love the historical introduction. You are a treasure to historical musical treasures. Thank you again, for diving deep into history to bring this musical gem back to light.
That's a precious performance, even the visual aspects, the ambience and the costume, help us get into that timeless mood. Love your voice pitch as well:-) Thank you so much for this rare moment of refined artistry rescuing ancient treasures.
Thank you for providing the story behind the hymn. Always love the way you combine theatre with history and your voice, your voice and of course the musical instruments you bring to life. More! More!
It's interesting to listen with an understanding of English, German, and Swedish -- like, the brain wants to register it as Swedish when you get the "swa" and "så" sounds ("as"), as German when you get the word for "create" and "creator" ("schaffen," "Schöpfer,") -- and then a random "and" thrown in there just to confuse the English speaking part of my brain. Thanks, Cædmon.
Yeah, I'm Dutch and I feel like we can understand Old English much better than a modern English speaker lol. ''schepper'' too as creator which sound very alike
I translated the Wardruna song Helvegen into OE - far easier to do from Norwegian than it is to work from an English translation. There's a brevity to the other Germanic languages that English lost over time.
Really appreciate the research, production, musicianship and performance of this hymn. Count myself as very fortunate to have found your channel, Peter. Thank you!
I feel so blessed and favored to have found your channel. Your voice is extraordinary and very resonant with my soul. Thank you so much for your devotion and for sharing your knowledge and musical gifts with us. Blessings and gratitude 😊💝🙏🎶

It blows my mind that as old as that Anglo-Saxon chapel is, it's still several hundred years newer than this poem. Thanks again for this lovely interpretation! Now more than ever, I want to try making a lyre and this looks to be a simple enough construction that I would dare attempt it.
How serendipitous. I bought the book called ‘the angels bible’ nine days ago. And I just read about Caedmon Hymn, checked UA-cam for more information and I found this video. Very moving. Thank you very much!
it’s really interesting that as a speaker of modern english, you can still understand some of the words. creator/create sounds like shaper/shape. almighty just pronounces the h. etc.
wow that was really cool! Nice work! There was a pretty popular Christian praise band called “Caedmon’s Call” in the early 00’s that got nationally popular in the US amongst the Christian praise music genre fans. I remember liking their music a lot and singing along with it on the Christian radio stations. I was even briefly acquainted with their keyboardist as we had the same childhood piano teacher but he was basically already a “natural” musician anyways. But I think they have since disbanded as many bands do after a good run. Anyway, I always wondered where that name came from but never took the time to look into it. Now I know!
This is so extraordinairy. Sometimes, when I feel deep piece and satisfaction, I too, hear music in my dreams! Played on different instruments, and its never the same, and ALL ABSOLUTELY NEVER HEARD in our physical reality ! There're often incredibly beautiful, and its a such bitter feeling that I could never recreate or replay them because I have no musical education :( although I sometimes did remembered some notes, or sound sentences when woke up.One time during such a dream I even had a feeling as if I was creating and stearing the music by thoughts, or as if my thoughts were the music itself.I hear it mostly without lyrics, but some interesting and essential frases come often separated, from someone or something..and I write it down. Thank you so much for this story, and a superb performance 🙌 I hope to create a similar piece some day myself 🙏
Dang it. I cry every time I hear ancient music and/or music with a lot of history attached. Thank you so much for resurrecting this, it was so lovely, and you have an amazing voice! 🙏🧡 Happy Chanukah to those celebrating 🕎
This is probably the first time I've ever listened to song I could actually tears to my eyes common I don't think there's any other versions more perfect than this one
