What many people may not realize, is the EXTREME difficulty to play in tune with these instruments, which are as beautiful as traitors. The slightest error in air column pressure is immediately punished by an out of pitch note. I am impressed by the quality of these interpreters. Bravo !
Amo la musica, chi la scrive, chi la suona, chi la riproduce. Questo brano, gli strumenti cosí particolari e inusuali, la dolcezza sobria del brano mi incantano. Non mi stanco di riascoltare. Grazie. Condivido con entusiasmo
@@SeekerLancer recorders are "easy to learn, hard to master" type instrument and it can be played with your friends! But clearly people hate recorders somehow as they think that recorders are childish :(
Well, that impression is also logical due to the fact that this piece was written in the period of polyphonic compositions, which were written for choirs in the first place. Instrumental music had not found its independent place yet and was derived from these vocal compositions.
Excellent observations. Indeed the textures of 1500s instrumental music were like the soaring choral music at Basilica San Marco in Venice. - In the subsequent Baroque period textures changed, and these older choral textures faded. First monody, e.g. Monteverdi's "l'Orfeo," and later a more intricate form of polyphony, e.g. Bach, developed. Early Baroque music still had the model system but gradually evolved into the (major v. minor) tonal system. - This Renaissance music wasn't cutting edge past the 1500s, but its antiquarian majesty revives the thoughts and utterances of our ancestors. Through this music our beloved dead thus speak--through us--beyond the grave.
I know this is an old clip, but I only stumbled upon it today. In a word: WOW!! I’ve always found that recorder ensembles can sound very similar to a pipe organ, but never have I heard a recorder ensemble sound *this* similar to an organ. I almost had to watch, rather than listen, to make sure if it was an organ or not.
it's getting better and better and better and better and better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so beautifull.... liebe grüsse aus Salzburg!
As an music historian I am usually a stickler for historical accuracy, but once in a while there comes along a performance which is so satisfyingly beautiful that I just don't care. This is one such performance.
Don't judge the school recorders...that's how they learn. I teach my students more than 10 songs in 9 weeks, and how to improvise and compose. We all have to start somewhere!
I still have my plastic school recorder and like the way it sounds. It's an aulos recorder from 1990 or so. Can't be played very well with a piano accompaniment anymore because it's a bit pitchy but nice as a solo.
Very well done. There's just something about period music that demands it be performed on period instruments, and this performance shows that magnificently.
This is the most beautiful arrangement, performance, and production I have heard. Right here is the perfect place to introduce people to the wonder of the recorder. Any who do not take the instrument seriously, should be led to hear and see this wonderful masterpiece. Congratulations to all involved.
It isn't even an arrangement! Historically, the recorder was used to play polyphonic vocal music like in this video. It is historical recorder music! ;)
TourPanorama People often claim the recorder isn't a real instrument when it is actually a quite historical instrument and can produce such beautiful music
How beautiful! A quiet, restful piece played in the middle and low registers. I've never seen a member of the recorder family as large as the instrument on the right. It must have the equivalent tone of an 8 foot flute stop on an organ. Thank you for this uplifting posting.
A wonderful prayer usind recorders instead voices!! Love it. it gives me calm and peace in my soul, and overall trust in my Lord. So this the text Trombetti used in this composition : "Diligam te, Domine, fortitudo mea. Dominus firmamentum meum, et refugium meum, et liberator meus. Protector meus et cornu salutis meae, Deus meus adjutor meus, et sperabo in eum. " thanks for sharing!
Led quietly into a still place by beauty; what would it be to stand in the burnished centre of that golden sound? To lose oneself in its soft radiance? A brief glimpse of something tender, human and unforgettable.
Much as I love all the technical stuff and triple tonguing, this piece give me peace. My "Ikea" contra bass just doesn't come anywhere near these deep sounds.... but then it is a totally different instrument in comparison. Well done Paul
Dear Rasmus - Thank you very much! We would love to come to Denmark, although we do not have concrete plans yet. And, yes, we do play some Susato on our latest program of Flemish music - no videos yet, sorry! :)
who ever heard of Ascanio Trombetti? Thank you UA-cam for taking me here
THIS IS WHAT HUMANS WERE MEANT TO DO - create beautiful ART!!
❤

I am impressed by the quality of these interpreters. Bravo !
Yeah… and they did it without even putting their lips on’em!!
I never knew. I play stringed instruments.
@@DavidWhy-y7iHuh?
No kidding... I find that most recorder players I've worked with overblow everything and it's soooo sharp. These musicians are primo.
@@leeann4743If you don't overblow, at least in the higher ranges, everything gets shrill and out of tune way fast.
On a vraiment de la chance de pouvoir accéder aujourd'hui à des musiques aussi singulières qui nous ouvrent à de nouveaux univers.
❤yes, it's wonderful
There's something particularly beautiful about low recorders.
Blockflöten?
@@rehgina9903 Ja, genau. Blockflöten sind "recorders" auf englisch.
It reminded me of the sound of a church organ but woodier.
thats because the Recorder is based on the organ pipe.
Great way to describe it
@@JessHull actually its the other way around.
Esiste un registro di organo che suona quasi esattamente così.
@@NoHomerS actually the organ was invented in the 3rd century BC and the recorder was invented in the 1300s soooo...
Every time I need to calm down, I watch this video and everything is fine....
原理はパイプオルガンと同じですが、この柔らかい音色とハーモニーは木製と魂のこもった人のブレスにり醸される音の世界だと思います。このような古楽器と演奏に伝統の深さと推移を学べます。ありがとうございます💕🙏
Amo la musica, chi la scrive, chi la suona, chi la riproduce. Questo brano, gli strumenti cosí particolari e inusuali, la dolcezza sobria del brano mi incantano. Non mi stanco di riascoltare. Grazie. Condivido con entusiasmo
I dont know why, but in my opinion the sound is "holy". Great artwork.
This is beautiful. I love how they sound almost like a choir.
Recorders do operate under the same principles as a pipe organ so you're not wrong.

Merci pour ce magnifique concert.
Quelle émotion.❤
Ethereally beautiful. Thank you for preserving ancient music!
To hear this ensemble is to experience the definition of mellow. Lovely!

I’ve always found that recorder ensembles can sound very similar to a pipe organ, but never have I heard a recorder ensemble sound *this* similar to an organ. I almost had to watch, rather than listen, to make sure if it was an organ or not.
This is very special and beautifull. The hidden sound of an ancient forest.
Considering the sheer size of some of these instruments, you're not wrong. Imagine playing a tree.
@@ambienthangout Exactly.
The ensemble work is astounding, the intonation is miraculous, and the whole piece is transcendent. Thank you for sharing this gift!
My teachers a nerd
Yes getting that many recorders in tune is a feat.
it's getting better and better and better and better and better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so beautifull.... liebe grüsse aus Salzburg!
What a gorgeous sound! Rich and mellow.
Beautiful. Words cannot imitate music. It is a cosmos of it's own.
I'd love to hear the biggest ones live, up-close, just to focus in on what they uniquely sound like.
Wonderful!
There you go ua-cam.com/video/U3CsmeKU2vE/v-deo.html
It's not just the beauty of this wonderful music. it's the intimacy of the photography, that make this a very special piece.
Makes me proud to play this instrument.

me too
Same here. 🎼🎶💕
As an music historian I am usually a stickler for historical accuracy, but once in a while there comes along a performance which is so satisfyingly beautiful that I just don't care. This is one such performance.
Out of curiosity, what is historically inaccurate in this rendition (apart from the female performers, modern setting and accoutrements)?
probably a million dollars very nicely used on a single ensemble
I have no words to describe it. Thank you!
Wow, so many BASS Recorders. I love this.
Beautiful, really beautiful. Gorgeous woody sound and spot on tuning. A big big well done. QUALITY!!!!!!!
Don't judge the school recorders...that's how they learn. I teach my students more than 10 songs in 9 weeks, and how to improvise and compose. We all have to start somewhere!

Extraordinaire profondeur de la composition , chaleur des timbres , c'est impressionnant.

I totally agree!!
It isn't even an arrangement! Historically, the recorder was used to play polyphonic vocal music like in this video. It is historical recorder music! ;)
TourPanorama Yes, I agree! It is not really arranged, but rather the recorders are assigned to the various vocal parts. Some parts would be doubled.
TourPanorama People often claim the recorder isn't a real instrument when it is actually a quite historical instrument and can produce such beautiful music
Superb! My chair shook, the floor shook and I shook to the deep bass.
non lo conoscevo... sublime
I have played a contrabass recorder (second biggest) in concert before. It is fun!!
I live in Africa, my soul moves a few degrees each time I hear such beauty. Deep inside it moves mes me❤❤❤
Sinal evidente que é uma alma sensível!
this is honestly just, Perfect
I love YOU, the Royal wind music!

Phantastisch schön .
Such transcending music. We are fortunate to now have Maestro Leenhouts here in Denton at our University of North Texas!
Great music.Great video. Great audio. Congratulations to the Paul Leenhouts, RWM and the video and audio artists.

Very beautiful and stirring. I love it!
Perfect set in harmony and timbres.
A wonderful prayer usind recorders instead voices!! Love it. it gives me calm and peace in my soul, and overall trust in my Lord.
