You may find virtuosic instrumental music in this manuscript en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Library,_Add_MS_29987, or the somewhat later Faenza codex.

I bought the sheet music PDF with tab from Lathkill and it's very well laid out. I have been learning 'Lamento di Tristano' because it's my favorite piece here and seems a bit more accessible. I'm an electric player who is new to classical guitar and I'm finding it pretty different and challenging. I'll always love rock and metal, but I think traditional folk (medieval and celtic styles) like this are where my heart really belongs.
Beautiful compilation for the guitar and very well executed. These dances were hitherto confined to Medieval Music Ensembles & it's great that you've added these rhythmically infectious pieces to the guitar's repertoire. Kudos.
ABSOLUTELY BEAULTIFUL.... The Medieval Music is unparalleled, Celtic Heritage trougth out all Europe, its has some magic in it, touches our soul instantly. The solid Spruce top of your guittar also has a magnificent sound in this ancient tower. ...This is pure magic man, thank you so much
Not quite Celtic. All of these tunes come from Italian 14th-century manuscripts found in the British Library. They are more so influenced by Old Iberia, African, Arab, and other Mediterranean styles
But the celts aren't, also, the ancestors of most Europeans? I think all you sad it's absolutely true, but you can FEEL the Celtic heritage in ALL medieval music... Or am I wrong ? Maybe... But the Celtic spirit it's touchtable, don't you thing ? Cheers from Brazil man@@thekingshussar1808
love this whole set of "tunes" .... wow, just that bass note at 1:07 is worth it (sounds so rich and strong... that guitar has a great sound for sure in addition to the great playing, great location, etc!)
wow! Amazing work Stathis! I'm glad I found your channel. These seven pieces are inspiring me to play classical guitar more as well as writing. Thank you.
This is an impressive performance. I had an old disk from Columbia Records which I lost thirty seven years ago. It included these wonderful pieces. Couldn't find it anywhere but it is a relief that now we have this impressive rendering. Thank you so much from Iraq
So beautifully played your selection is the backdrop while I work. An inspiration for my restoration on antique paintings and a Renaissance style frame. Thank you for your incredible talent!
I'd heard, I think, perhaps three of these pieces played by John Williams. Really nice to have a different take on those--as well as the bonus of the extra four. Superb!
Thank you very much! John Williams plays indeed his arrangements of Lamento di Tristano, Saltarello la Regina from manuscript 29987 and a Ductia from an English collection.
what fantastic pieces, and so well played...the backdrop scenery was beautiful also, don't know if it was in a church, or a castle, but it was perfect.
Thank you! That's a church indeed, now a museum, in my hometown Rhodes. It was first build as a byzantine temple in the 11th century, underwent some gothic style modifications in the early 14th century by the Knights of the Order of Saint John, turned into a mosque in the early 16th century by the OttomanTurks who added a minaret. That feature was later removed by the Italians in the 20th century during restoration.
+Stathis Skandalidis Not at all. Well first by John Renbourn for clasical guitar and inspired by John Renbourn, for Renaissance lute by the famous frenchman Alain Veylit who provided the famous " Django " on the internet from the USA as far as I know. I do not know what it became : django.musickshandmade.com/pages/old-site I have an old Django on a computer and it works well. g All the best, Roger
I find it interesting that the verse and opening phrase of Trotto (to trot,gait) lands on the II - B as opposed to the A key of the song. It's unresolved and almost asks a question. Very strange in the modern sense.
Since this video was posted I've seen it around 30 times, each time searching for it manually. Beautiful selection and playing, I hope you post some new stuff!
@@antonius.martinus "Viking metal..." Wow, I haven't heard that term before, but I like it! I'm sure that even back in the year of 750 A.D., they had their ways of hardcore musical expression!
It's indeed a wonderful place. It was first build as a byzantine temple in the 11th century and underwent some gothic style modifications in the early 14th century.
I'm gonna show this to everyone who says that they're fingers are too short for playing guitar.
Magnificent arrangements and playing, Stathis! It was 9 minutes of pure enjoyment for me, thank you! :) Regards!
Thank you very much Lukasz, I am really glad to have discovered your channel through your comment!

I loled.
love the sound of the playing, the location , the specific guitar ... everything about it is something to come back to and listen again !
Listening to this music, I feel like I was living in those times. Great feeling and great technique !!! Splendidly!!!
Mission accomplished then, thank you Zenco!
This is exquisite.
Much appreciated Josh.
Respect. There is something so captivating about music that is this old. Beautifully played!
just started learning on guitar, playing medievel/"dark" folk music is my dream! this is great and I really hope I can do it
All the best for your guitar playing, stay inspired and never give up!
The Marshmellow - ditto. I played electric back in the day. Now formally playing. Goal: flamenco.
me too
@@TheQA247 how is it going, i am trying to learn malanguena. Do you have any tips?
@@CatchyCauchy Sorry .. none that I can give at this time

What else are they going to do?
because music now is made for morons
@@josephgreencoat6311 lmao you're so pretentious. As if listening to music that requires a lot of technique makes you smart in any way.
@@TheBestofJuan spoken like a true idiot
This has become one of my favourite videos ever, so many emotions. You render this wonderful pieces masterfully on guitar. thanks for this, Stathis.
Absolutely agree with you!

You won’t regret it! But don’t neglect your electric, it needs some love too ;)
Lamento di Tristano...my favorite. Beautiful church, amazing music, great player. Please more videos like this. Cheers from Argentina.
Magnifico ..genial
Come here again to say this video is criminally underrated !!! Possibly the best classical guitar medieval playing in the whole game !!!
sounds amazing! really inspiring
Beautiful compilation for the guitar and very well executed. These dances were hitherto confined to Medieval Music Ensembles & it's great that you've added these rhythmically infectious pieces to the guitar's repertoire. Kudos.
Next purchase: Medieval classical guitar tab/ book and guide!
Ottima tecnica e raffinata interpretazione che crea un'atmosfera davvero medioevale.
This sounds soooooo cool. Wish I could play like this!

Woow this piece looks like it requires so much intensity and control of the strings

Really nice arrangements. Thank you for sharing.
Trotto + Saltarello: they're incredible
Very bold and smooth as glass!
SIMPLEMENTE....SENSACIONAL Y CULTO...VERSATILIDAD Y MATEMATICA ARMONIOSA....ELECANCIA MEDIEVAL...UN EJEMPLO..🤩✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴

+e psit Ευχαριστώ πολύ!
Φανταστική δουλειά το λατρεύω!!
Estas melodias se ejecutaban con flautas , aqui la guitarra Española hace la diferencia con su maravilloso sonido , en Saltarello se luce.

Congratulations again ! Yes, most of these enchanting pieces are well known. and we have lute and recorder transcriptions.
Great thanks, indeed !
