The singing here is absolutely marvellous. The music sounds as though it were pulled from the heart of Midgard itself, and the voices singing here are like that of godesses. This song truly serves as a reminder to all of native Europe's beauty.
They are truly astounding live. Saw them a few years ago at Leicester Cathedral, and before then at the Tabernacle in London, and both times were simply stunning, spellbinding, beautiful. Their talents know no bounds, quite simply these ladies are majestic. Their linguistic skills are mind blowing, and their voices are not of this world. Incredible performers and vocalists.
@@leosmith8596 I wholeheartedly agree mate. I'm in my 20s, so caring about this kind of stuff makes me something of an anomaly. Just out of interest, do you live in the UK?
My head is about to explode from Beauty Overload. Amazing version of the classic, great stylization, amazing composition and, basically, an stunning display of talent. Bravo girls, bravissimo.
*Coughs in embarrassment* I saw the description and literally squealed out loud. My throat hurts now. These ladies always brighten my day and bring tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for bringing such beauty to my life.
I am always inspired and delighted with Mediaeval Baebes and the music that succumbs and resonates with the facets of the heart. I will never get enough.
Since people don't seem aware: this song is in Latin, a more "modern" version of the Roman version. The lyrics sound beautiful until you realize what they are saying and you have a very harmonic dance of beauty and death- yes I mean death (there are several lines in which they directly talk about the subject of death.)
The lyrics are beautiful once you see the true meaning. Death is beautiful, it has always been a source of inspiration for countless music, poems and tales.
Actually it's from medieval poetry. Adapted by Carl Orff in 30's in "Carmina Burana". Extremely slow and sad interpretation. I much prefer it as interpreted Qntal "Flamma". They nailed the spirit of this poem. Medieval Baebes are off on this one.
Goodness me, these fine ladies are supremely talented, with gorgeous voices, linguistically exquisite and beautiful. Seen them perform twice, each time was just sublime, wonderful and majestic.
Doesn't matter if they dance or not !!! Smile or not ... simply the song is PERFECT and relax your mind after a hard day work !! Please Mediaeval Baebes come to Mexico !!! I am a fan from you !!! Thanks wonderful ladies, beautiful and intelligence exist together thanks to you !! :D
can't stop watching this video! beautiful song with an amazing video!!! i really can't wait for the new tour. hopefully will have my hand tattoo of the faerie baebe finished off by then, could even try to have the band sign it and have that tattooed on 2!
If you like this, you'll probably like Miranda Sex Garden's album Madra. One of the members of Medieval Bæbes, Katharine Blake was in MSG. All of MSG's music is great, though Madra is the only one with a close sound to this as it's a collection of madrigal songs. The rest of MSG is post-punk music with madrigal influences which is actually really interesting in itself!
Simply wonderful. The clue is in the name, ie, Mediaeval, and that's what I love. I didn't like the foray into more modern sounding songs but all things mediaeval I love! Keep it up girls and PLEASE come back up north (north in this context being Lancashire/Cumbria) sometime soon.

@@avagalaxy4481 No way your mom is Katharine Blake! I'm a big fan of her old band Miranda Sex Garden. I only discovered it this year but I really love the song Fear from the Iris EP. Tell her that her music made my day!
Their voices are beautiful and the scenery is appropriate for the atmosphere this music is creating. The only thing I do not like, and it's the same thing among many English and American singers/groups/choirs is the usage of "Italian" pronunciation of the Latin language. Also, another thing about pronunciation is the usage of æ and there's no such thing in Latin. Other than that, I really enjoyed listening to them.
From a Latin teacher , there is really no correct Latin pronunciation. Latin was a spoken Language for more than a thousand years and continued to be used as lingua franca for another thousand. It continues to be the official language of Vatican City. In nearly 2000 years you can rest assured that pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar changed a great deal. The Latin spoken by Numa Pompilius, was very different from the Language of Ennius and Ennius Latin was different from Cicero's or Caesar's . There was also a significant difference between the Latin spoken and pronounced by educated individuals and the common people; there were also regional variations of pronunciation. The so called classical pronunciation is a reconstructed approximation of what scholars believe Latin was pronounced by the Roman's of the 1st century BC. Ecclesiastical pronunciation on the contrary reflects the pronunciation of the common people in the early middle ages.
The band name is in English. Mediæval Bæbes is the Middle English spelling of the Modern English Medieval Babes. They sing in a variety of languages that include Modern English, Middle English and the vulgar (speech of the common people) dialect of Latin that you are complaining about. That it is not the dialect you want them to use matters not, it is the dialect used by this band of singers. If you really want to be taken seriously, you should learn more about the subjects you choose to comment on before you demonstrate your ?understanding?
The video is as beautiful as the music is in this video especially when you go full screen. I just wish that I could watch the entire video without pauses in the video fee. Also, I want to know if the video for this song will be for sale?
This is so beautiful! I am currently snowbound in the mountains and this is the perfect antidote to my winter doldrums. I am so glad to see them returning to a more acapella based sound and I agree with others that the dancing is beautiful and fits the haunting and ethereal music.

absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! can't wait for the new album. had it pre ordered from ages ago. saw them live last year in Liverpool cathedral crypts, can't tell you how blown away i was! Amazing voices, amazing show and stunning presence. Always brightens even the gloomiest of moods when i listen to them.
My daughter's band. Very proud of her.
So you should be. They have amazing voices.
Amazing singers and all beautiful not surprised your proud
Which one is she?
This is one of my favorite bands!! Thanks for creating her!
I came here because of the loveliness of Emily Ovenden, but I've even more mesmerized because the atmosphere of the music! Superlative!
The singing here is absolutely marvellous. The music sounds as though it were pulled from the heart of Midgard itself, and the voices singing here are like that of godesses. This song truly serves as a reminder to all of native Europe's beauty.
More like olympus,
We are in Midgard.

I used to listen to them on repeat while doing my physics homework in college, it's so relaxing.
Real life faeries.
Fairies rock =)
You're spot on there. We forget our own culture in the UK.
@@joshuastevens5874 Yes! We need more of this kind of culture. British culture is so rich, ancient and beautiful... but most people just don't care...
@@leosmith8596 I wholeheartedly agree mate. I'm in my 20s, so caring about this kind of stuff makes me something of an anomaly. Just out of interest, do you live in the UK?
I saw Mediaeval Baebes back when they toured for "The Rose". Would love the chance to see them again, as it was a pretty amazing show.
My head is about to explode from Beauty Overload. Amazing version of the classic, great stylization, amazing composition and, basically, an stunning display of talent. Bravo girls, bravissimo.
They are just magnificent.
*Coughs in embarrassment* I saw the description and literally squealed out loud. My throat hurts now. These ladies always brighten my day and bring tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for bringing such beauty to my life.
I'd love to sing in a group like this. Just beautiful.
I am always inspired and delighted with Mediaeval Baebes and the music that succumbs and resonates with the facets of the heart. I will never get enough.
I adore this group.
Lovely. They're all beautiful women, but the redhead is a Goddess.
Great Scot I like the black haired woman
Who gives a shit?
Agreed!!
She'd be a good stand-in for Ginger Grant (Gilligan's Island)

and just because its about Death suddenly its not beautiful?

Medizan Yeah, aren't we all just so ignorant for not realising that this is an obscure Latin folk song....
I've only just discovered these fine ladies and their fantastic singing, I'm looking to start collecting their albums, love this!
I love the dancing, so awesome!
Wasn't able to sleep : too much things in my brain. But listening to this song made me so... Quiet, so peaceful.. Thank you a lot for this song !
This video is so subtle and magical... and simple, either!
Goodness me, these fine ladies are supremely talented, with gorgeous voices, linguistically exquisite and beautiful. Seen them perform twice, each time was just sublime, wonderful and majestic.
seen you girls many years ago when i was a Medieval reenactor i think at Warwick or Tewkesbury, always beautiful everything
Great to see them in my playlist on UA-cam. Great Song and Video. August. 2018.
It's amazing to see their evolution from the earliest stuff.
Highly valuable women recognized by their talent and natural beauty instead of their bodies like most do nowadays
how did I get here
My girlfriend told me about these. Fucking LOVE this kind of music!
Beautiful!! from Spain.
Doesn't matter if they dance or not !!! Smile or not ... simply the song is PERFECT and relax your mind after a hard day work !! Please Mediaeval Baebes come to Mexico !!! I am a fan from you !!! Thanks wonderful ladies, beautiful and intelligence exist together thanks to you !! :D
I have been waiting my whole life for this!!! Thank you for posting! Amazingly beautiful! Love the ancient style!

When I first heard them, I loved that we never knew what language they would sing.
Sounds beautiful
Totally ethereal, Love it....
Thank you.

I'm mediaeval.
I love some of the the bands songs but I don't know much about them do could someone tell me what language they are singing in it is truly beautiful
Very very nice.
The Huntress is a great album.
I can't wait till September when they are in the US and at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.
congrats!!
I heard this when I took latin class marvellous
Gorgeous lasses
My mum is in it (not lying)
Katharine Blick is my mum
Idk who that is but great music
Ava Galaxy then you should be proud of having such an amazing mother
Wow, you must be very young or a teenager if your mum is in this clip, well done

Great work on this song. I would love to hear your take on more of Carmina Burana. Especially O Fortuna

I would not go as far as to say that it was intentional, but Latin is not as melodic as Italian.

Beautiful. Need I say more?
Me gusta!
Duede is not Baebe.
They should go on tour with Blackmore's Night!! That would be awesome.

My fantasy obit--Man overwhelmed by beauty, succumbs to harmony, found dead under pile of Baebes...:)
😍😍😍
Reminds me of the song Midgard
, by Therion, for some reason.
Really surprised you don't have many more subscribers.
Mediaeval French this is spoken in! xxxx
I wouldn't say Faeries. I would say Sirens. Each one Beautiful. A temptress. That's why they call the Album Huntress.
