I've always loved to listen to music from the middle age. Most of my friends just twirl their head and look at me as if I deserve to be locked up. This is ten times better than that awful music I have the misfortune hearing where I live. This goes straight to my favorites. Wonderful pictures of castles as well. Splendid.
Luckily we are able to hear beautiful music and view medieval structures without exposure to all that one might want to miss of this period. Thanks for posting this!
Brilliant! Combining black and white photos of ancient medieval architecture, with medieval music…wonderfully brilliant work! Love the selection of music...very well done video!
I've always been fascinated by this music. It's wonderful, haunting melodies with simple instruments. That touches your soul and makes you want to join in the danse with some gallant swaine. Sigh
Je repasse en boucle ces jolies images. En ce temps de mondialisation, les racines essentielles de terre et de chair sont étroitement liées. Encore merci.
Zamykam oczy i widzę - te łaki zielone, lasy, zagrody i zamki. I spokój - mimo wojen, wlki o władzę, zabójstwa itp. I coś we mnie woła - dlaczego żyję w tak szybkich czasach - gdzie nawet zastanowić się nie można nad swoim krokiem. I muzyka KRZYCZY - nawet o miłości.
thankfully, this music has been preserved for us to enjoy. yes, it would have been thrilling to live back in those time; however, the downside is, the majority didn't live that long!
God if I was offered to spend even a day in the middle ages I would go absolutely flippin freaking insane like literally just go back in time that would be the most coolest shit ever!
Beautiful video with impressive castles and music !! we particularly love the song starting at 2'54 : "Tant Que Vivray" by Claudin de Sermisy (c. 1490 - October 13, 1562), French composer of the Renaissance. Along with Clément Janequin he was one of the most renowned composers of French chansons in the early 16th century; in addition he was a significant composer of sacred music. His music was both influential on, and influenced by, contemporary Italian styles.
Thank you for images of Somoska, Filakovo, Spis, Cachtice and Beckov. These are ruins however amazing castles. If I might I would also add masterpieces like Orava, Slovenska Lupca, Zvolen, Trencin, Krasna Horka etc. Naturally the highest number of castles from Hungary appears here, at least I recognize Gyula, Nagyvazszony, Boldogko, Fuzer, Diosgyor :) We have in common admiration to Middle Ages and castles. Szep napo kivanok ;)
@bagshitass most instruments used in european medieval music came from the near east, the shawm came from the zurna, the lute came from the ud, and the rebec came from the rebab.
End of middle age is around 1500, after this period we call it renaissance :) if u like that and are not far from France, i suggest you to visit a city( castle ) called Carcassone. It s a huuuggee castle in the south unchanged from middel age and all the city is still there, people living there =)
I decided that this year i will go to medieval castles around my country with my family! Oh i love the medieval times, but to be true i wouldn't wanna live at that time.
Originally Medieval music was monophonic but it did evolve. Harmony didn't just spring into existence at the onset of the Renaissance; such changes occur gradually. Presumably these pieces date from the late middle ages.
@gajda1984 LOL; true, but when we think of the past, we always tend to romanticize it and focus on the aura, the emotions that get stirred inside, the mysteries of the unknown about that period, etc. Hasn't anyone ever asked you, "if you had a time machine, where would you go?" ^_^
I adore Shakespeare; as for which society is "best," I have created a book set in a realm where it has a reasonable mixture of both our time and that of medieval/renaissance age. In my world of Overon, the cities look much like an olde world village. Much like the images shown here. But they also have some 21st century principles. Women and commoners are treated equally, the land is rich and fertile, the people live clean lives. If only I could make it a reality
God bless Christianitas! Europe awake! During these days of atheism, fighting with our roots, and fighting with all of our monarchist and christian past we must recovere who we real are! Europe means someting more than piece of land! Europe means civilisation!
We are no less barbarous, and cruel than they were then. We still have plagues, famine, disease and wars. 500 years have seen no real progress. But their music was a bloody site better than the crap we are bombarded with today.
@EleganceUntamed do you have a country we can form? it would be totaly possible, if only we had a country. back to farming, hunting and craftmanship and away with motorized transport and heavy industry. my fantasy is running rampage at the moment.
If you take out, the superstition and all the plagues, the middle ages weren't sucking so much! eitherway, the youth of this generation could use some info those great people left us. I for one , born in the 1990's , would just GO CRAZY if i was offered the chance to see the world back then !
Lots of these places are still very stable. The governments should restore even more of them! And this creates jobs in the villages! (Carpenters, wall painters, plasterers, stone masons, and gardeners, historical tour guides, etc.

@bagshitass Medieval music is modal, you'd have to be a musician to understand. Modal music has more of an oriental sound that is the western ear isn't used to, medieval music was greatly influenced by the music of the near east. Renaissance music uses more "western" sounding functional tonality, major minor scales for the most part.
Solo vemos la parte romántica de la Edad Media pero lo cierto es que fue una época muy dura, oscura, infecta y cruel (casi como ahora) para la inmensa mayoría de la población y donde la esperanza media de vida eran los cuarenta. La vida en la Edad Media eran banquetes y justas para unos pocos. Es bueno recordar pero no añoro para nada tiempos como aquellos.
the photos combined with this music give a good impression of the magic from that ages... i like it very much!
Hey Adrian. I love you and your music ❤😊
Through all the fourteen years that this video has existed I still come back over and over for a listen.
Our modern times are more physically comfortable, but older ages were more spiritually rewarding
I really enjoyed listening to this medieval music! It sounds amazing and pretty authentic. :-)

middle ages were hard times... but something beautiful came out of it
Beautiful scenes-and ethereal music. Thanks for posting.

A beautiful series of pictures, I couldn't stop watching allthough I had other things to do.

I would not have wanted to live in the Middle Ages whatsoever but this is some cool music!! :D

I love Middle Ages period and castles!!!!
I really love this kind of music. No matter how much of a metalhead I can be this music is so beautiful and sends me into a serene state. ^_^

Excellent. Brings back fond memories of Gryphon's 1st album.
I love the Middle Ages, Castles & History. My favourite castle is "Rochester Castle". I will be visiting there for the first time this summer.
God if I was offered to spend even a day in the middle ages I would go absolutely flippin freaking insane like literally just go back in time that would be the most coolest shit ever!
My spirit feels at ease with this.
I love this video, I love the renaissance and the medieval, my favourite time periods.
I love old castles and ruins as well.

wow adorable castles
@bagshitass most instruments used in european medieval music came from the near east, the shawm came from the zurna, the lute came from the ud, and the rebec came from the rebab.
From 5:50 onwards is so epic! It's so ridiculously jolly and whatnot.
I live for castles, and I love this music. Thanks for this great video!
absolutely beautiful presentation :)
Obsessed with midieval times gotta love it
Very nice music, nice vibeo!
Such beautiful music, thank you
whoa! amazing music and castles! thank u so much!
@Hisuwashi This song title is "Tant que vivray en âge florissant" by the french Renaissance composer Claudin de Sermissy (1490-1562)
Great video. Thanks for posting it.
there's a reason final fantasy games use this type of music, because it inspires the soul, takes you back... Allows you to feel at peace.
Orford castle is an interesting place to visit, with it's Byzantine architecture & Wild Man of Orford tale
I was born 500 years too late. Sure the medieval ages were dark, but certainly everything that's beautiful has a dark side to it.
i wish we still lived in this age.....
I have recognised two of them: Karlštejn in Czech republic, Beckov castle in Slovakia
Realmente muito bonito, bela postagem!
End of middle age is around 1500, after this period we call it renaissance :)
if u like that and are not far from France, i suggest you to visit a city( castle ) called Carcassone.
It s a huuuggee castle in the south unchanged from middel age and all the city is still there, people living there =)
really nice thanks for posting!
I feel like royalty too with this music :D
wow nice castle there: 6:39 Music is epic aswel
..Gracias,,HERMOSO!!!
how this beautiful music can have dislikes???
Well done,execellent!
@startobe22 Transylvania exists today as a historical region of Romania. Wikipedia has a good article on Transylvania.
I'd love a list of all the castles used in the video, they're great!
I decided that this year i will go to medieval castles around my country with my family! Oh i love the medieval times, but to be true i wouldn't wanna live at that time.
love this video
Just imagine the history being all these castle
the first song was when I played princess or one woman in school play at prom and I was searching everywhere and I did't find it now yes!!!
Originally Medieval music was monophonic but it did evolve. Harmony didn't just spring into existence at the onset of the Renaissance; such changes occur gradually. Presumably these pieces date from the late middle ages.
Grear pictures and video! can you tell us the names of the these castles?
That is true the Middle Ages was hell for the average joe, but the music was great!
Magnífico !..
This type of Music is SO much better than Justina Bieber..... Thank you.
Could you give a list of the music you used.
I love it! :D Thank you so much for sharing this music with the nice pictures.
All the music in this video is from an album called 'Music to Entertain the Kings of Hungary 1490-1526' if this helps.
nice music
@gajda1984 LOL; true, but when we think of the past, we always tend to romanticize it and focus on the aura, the emotions that get stirred inside, the mysteries of the unknown about that period, etc. Hasn't anyone ever asked you, "if you had a time machine, where would you go?" ^_^
Hmm... now i shall Minecraft these beautiful castles!

If only I could make it a reality
nice music :D
ps: Chinon castle still has the very room where Joan of Arc met Charles. And Joan's birth house still stand's in Domremy! In good condition too.
NIce, but I would really like to see graphics telling what/where these are.
God bless Christianitas! Europe awake! During these days of atheism, fighting with our roots, and fighting with all of our monarchist and christian past we must recovere who we real are! Europe means someting more than piece of land! Europe means civilisation!

in the woods? hell, they'd dump it out of the windows in towns and tough luck if you happen to be walking underneath their window
Nice vid ; )
Does any one know where i could get some medieval, baroque, or classic music with vocalits?
Please pray tell me what is the French music at 2:50? It's beautiful.
DAMN NICE!!!
love it!! :D
@EleganceUntamed do you have a country we can form? it would be totaly possible, if only we had a country. back to farming, hunting and craftmanship and away with motorized transport and heavy industry. my fantasy is running rampage at the moment.
after playing assassins creed 2 i am firmly convinced i can climb any of these structures......
The castles in Languedoc took a bad hit in the 13th century. At least the Cathar's stuck with it to the end!

Linda!...Uma lástima que os castelos estejam em ruínas; mesmo assim dá um belo visual artístico!...
Lots of these places are still very stable. The governments should restore even more of them! And this creates jobs in the villages! (Carpenters, wall painters, plasterers, stone masons, and gardeners, historical tour guides, etc.
what's the name of the French music that starts at 2:55 ? it's beautiful
2. Quand je la veulx servir et honorer,

i love this song what is it
Hello!
Is there any picture about hungarian castle among the pictures?
@bagshitass Medieval music is modal, you'd have to be a musician to understand.

Famines, droughts, hateful rulers and plagues have vanished? What fairy tale book did you crawl out of again?

@E1025
It must be some weird slow thrusting then...
Calm down people. We like the music, the dress, everything that doesn't have to do with death..
I recommend a UA-cam channel called "Medieval Richard". He visits/films castles, plus more, and also works in a castle!
Thanks :P
Yeah I miss the days when we lived to our thirties and lived in constant fear..
thanks frenchiecocrico! =D
Muy bueno.
what are the names of the songs? so hard to find good medieval music, i dont know where to look...:P
I don't live in Compton, my weekly police report consists of teens stealing candy. I haven't ever felt fear in my city. (Irvine)
May I know the title of these music? :)
Hi! Can you tell me where is this second "castle"? I don't know even if it is a castle indeed,
The music is from the game simcity4
