Chronos X’s Medieval, Renaissance & Premodern/Early Baroque Music Thread

Well, since I’ve made early music pretty much my standard fare in these forums, I might as well have a thread exclusively devoted to it. Here’s everything medieval and the like I’ve shared with you guys to date:

New stuff added; let me know if the links fail.

Any chance that you could upload samples to youtube or any other site so we can see what we’re getting?

Thanks for these Chronos, I love ancient and medieval music and instruments, so will definitely check some of these out!

It says that the links have to be repaired when I tried it. But thank you for a most unique collection!

Would love MUSIC OF THE CRUSADES, COURTS KINGS AND TROUBADOURS. Links are down. Any chance of a reup?

I’m searching hard for TRE FONTANE (ensemble) discs since years and can’t find any… Any clues guys ?

Thanks for the compliment. I just finished replacing each and every one of the links. Let me know if there’s further trouble.

I don’t know anything about Tre Fontane or their works; would you please elaborate?

Thank you so very much for the wonderful collection!

Unfortunately, me neither. I only have an old tape recorded from a CD I borrowed about 16 years ago. That’s the best medieval music I ever heard (very progressive style) and believe me, I never posted in that theard but I have a whole collection. It’s been 20 years I’m gathering some medieval music. Even infos are hard to find about Tre Fontane, but it seems they have a MySpace since recently. Can’t tell you more.

Thanks a lot for this! Awesome collection 🙂

"Ad�o Espa�a" file changed: most songs now contain lyrics (though some of them are played rather than sung).

New stuff added/restored.

AWESOME!

Thanks so much!

This is an awesome collection.

Excellent collection, thanks. Sound quality of mp3s is very good. Lossless uploads would still be nice though.

There seems to be a problem with the Baltimore Consort Ad�o Espa�a file; the download keeps stalling. Other than that one, everything downloaded fine. Beautiful music, thanks for the share! 🙂

The Boston Camerata’s classic ‘A Medieval Christmas’ should be on your list… takes you back in time.

I met with the same problem, so I scrapped the old file. Just got done uploading a new one; seems to be fine. Let me know if there’s further trouble.

Came out in the mid-70s. The Chicago Classical station played it over and over. If you want your holiday tantamount to an incense chapel, flickering torch light and 10th century readings, works by Chaucer… it remains THE collection of music from the period… X-mas or any other time.

Well, I just tried downloading it on two different computers (1 Mac, 1 PC) and Mediafire is still choking on the file. I know it’s not my internet connection as I tried downloading one of the other files and it came through fine. Oh well, I guess I’m just not meant to have this one. 🙁 Anyway, thanks for trying, I appreciate it.

If you’ve got email, PM me your address and I’ll try sending it to you as an attachment, but I can’t guarantee the file’ll make it over to you or whether you’ll be able to actually retrieve and open it. If this is acceptable to you, then proceed.

As far as I know, none of the mp3’s or attachments are damaged: maybe I’ll just remove the pics, but if that doesn’t work… I’d rather not open up accounts on other upload sites right now, and I’m very busy with my grad thesis, but I’ll make the attempt to get back to you. Again, sorry about the inconvenience: just what’s wrong with the damn file!?

PM sent. 🙂

Believe me, I totally understand not wanting to set up another account at another website; sometimes I feel like I’m drowning in all the various sites I’ve got accounts at for various fandoms/other things. Gah. 😛

A Medieval Christmas by Boston Camerata uploaded; Ad�o Espa�a reuploaded… again.

Hahah! Success! Took nearly five minutes for Ad�o Espa�a to download, but it finally worked this time. Weird that the pics were mucking it up before, but oh well. A Medieval Christmas downloaded in about a minute with no problems. 🙂

Thanks for all your help, Chronos X! *hugs and runs off to play with the new pretties* 🙂

Estampie?

Estampie?

Meaning?

Meaning you have no examples of their work here. I’m looking for a quality version of CRUSADERS. Their sound is curious. Ancient with a splattering of contemporary.., much like the highly recommended PASSAGE 138 B.C-A.D 1611 by the Empire Brass Quintet featuring Rolf Smedvig and a cameo by Mark Isham in the final, haunting track.

This is a truly amazing collection you have put together. Honestly.

I’m amazed. And also very, very grateful!

Quick update: The last disc in the collection has been ‘pulled for a violation’ or something of that sort. It’s Morales, Crist�bal de: Missa Queramus cum pastoribus (2008).

Everything else was fine, except for ‘If Love Now Reigned’, which errored out, and then automatically retried and worked (so, if anyone has the same problem, just wait for it to auto-retry and that should sort it.)

I just deleted and began reuploading the file. Try again later and let me know if it works.

The last disc Morales, Crist�bal de: Missa Queramus cum pastoribus (Hyp�rion, 2008). has again been pulled for a violation … any chance of reuploading it please ?

Very Lovely selection. 🙂

Thank you so much for the lovely music.

Thanks … although they’ve pulled it again for a violation !

I managed to download it just fine around ten minutes ago; I honestly don’t know what the problem is.

Just discovered this thread, thanks for the share, I will discover those music with delight!

Thanks for all the wonderful music.

Thank you ^^ I love them

gonna explore it, thanks!!!

what great stuff…..thank you so much!

New links added. I intend to spend the next few months adding new works and creating new links for older uploads. Please be patient if you can’t access the mediafire set: I’ll have scrapped and replaced it with mirrorcreator links by the time I’m done.

New mirrorcreator links added for Capilla Flamenca and Ensemble Oni Wytars.

Can you re-up the Morales, Crist�bal de: Missa Queramus cum pastoribus (Hyp�rion, 2008) please .. I never managed to get it the last time … 🙁

New links added for the Palestrina set.

Check back in a couple of days: I’ve been having trouble with mirrorcreator lately.

thanks 🙂

New links added for Ensemble Abendmusik.

Crist�bal de Morales: Missa Queramus cum pastoribus set reuploaded.

New links added for Ensemble Gilles Binchois.

New links added for A Medieval Christmas.

thank you for the shares

thanks for these!

so.. the "My Files" link that leads to Mediafire only has a total of 7 files divided among 3 sub-folders
am i missing something?

Replaced some links. I’ll do my best to maintain this thread. Thank you for your patience.

oh, wow. this is still being maintained? i’m psyched!
thank so much for your hard work!

i was just wondering, though.. i initially came here through one of your other threads (ancient music, specifically) but then here it said that all the albums where gathered in the link at the top. Mediafire links are more rarely taken down than other upload sites, so i literally thought i was missing something.
but i guess it’s just that the links got removed?

thanks once again!

I’ve been replacing older MediaFire links lately. Plus, I recently lost most of the files in my computer and I’m still finding out if I can replace them with what I uploaded to MF or elsewhere. I’ll get more files running eventually, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to recover all of them, particularly the ancient music files. Thank you for your patience and kind words; they keep me going.

sorry to hear that man
i got my computer and all my external harddrives stolen so i know how that feels
it sucks, that’s how that feels
i use mega.co.nz these days; some people have reported having had their accounts deleted for violations, but it’s never happened to me, everything’s safe in some server in China. i thought Mediafire was one of the better ones, but if your links keep getting deleted, you might want to check out Mega
i hope you can get back your stuff, man! i really do
best wishes

New links added. Check at start of thread.

awesome, man
thank you so much

New links added; see start of thread.

Two links added: Dowland’s Songs and Iberian Garden.

Thanks for the hard work here!
Is there a password for your files please, I can’t unzip them?

Thanks for the hard work here!
Is there a password for your files please, I can’t unzip them?

None of the files in this thread is password protected. You probably need a program that can unpack RAR files. I use WinRAR myself.

Wow, great collection! Thanks!

Thank you!

Jeez,i also know that feeling, i had about 150 GB of data erased. It’s still taking me time to replace it.

Woaah, amazing! I did not suspect such a thread to exist on FFshrine. I did not expect such a thread to exist at all in the universe. Not that the existence of such a thread was highly improbable, it’s just that I never imagined it and, right now, I am in mode "woah. woah. woah. woah. who(…)" So excited in front of all these treasures waiting to be listened and discovered! Thank you, this huge feeling of excitement does not happen often.

Gobsmacked. Overwhelmed. Elated. Such an impressive collection — gems, each and every one! You’ve done more than could have been asked, what with all the reuploading after deletions and disasters. Please be assured that your diligent efforts have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. My month has been MADE thanks to you! Know that you are my hero today!

Chronos your collection is fascinating. Are there any that are you favorites? I personally would appreciate anything that is mystical or warmingly haunting. If possible to advise. Thanks again.

New links added for A Medieval Christmas. MP3s are 320-quality now; tags revised.

Pretty awesome thread! Many thanks, Chronos X!

Love this thread so much ! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Billions of thanks to you, Chronos X ! 🙂

By the way, i’m looking for "Musique Pour Le Camp Du Drap D’Or" and "Music From The Time Of The Crusaders" both performed by The Florilegium Musicum de Paris.

New links added for Hesp�rion XX: El Cancionero de Palacio and Music for the Spanish Kings.

Thank you very much! :*

A very impressive collection!

Thank you for sharing!! I had a question… if you had to choose just three of these albums, which would you recommend the most? 🙂

Thank you for sharing!! I had a question… if you had to choose just three of these albums, which would you recommend the most? 🙂

I’d definitely go with A Medieval Christmas, the one by Oni Wytars and Ensemble Unicorn, and the Gesualdo set.

yikes. seems like these guys have been taken down:

"19Ballata, 14. Jh." by Collegium Musicum Aldovadensis, Choir Chorlton & Gottfried Breinfalk
"Himno XIX: Pange lingua IV" by Hesp�rion XX/Jordi Savall

maybe the upload name was too conspicuous?

Thanks for the recommendations!
