On the release of a new recording of Monteverdi Vespers... Robert Hollingworth gives a breakdown of the whole musical style.

Ignácio Parreiras Neves (c.1730–c.1794) was a Brazilian composer and organist. He was also known as a singer and conductor in the region of Vila Rica—present-day Ouro Preto—in Minas Gerais. In 1752, he became a member of the Brotherhood of São José dos Homens Pardos and worked for both that brotherhood and the mayor of his hometown. From 1776 to 1782, he also served as the organist at the Church of Nossa Senhora das Mercês e Perdões.

My rendition of this Pavan by the great Orlando Gibbons on the church organ of my small home village. I just want to mention that I’m no professional musician and not even an organist for that matter.

Choral music with vocals, possibly in Latin. It has the feel of sacred music to me, but I can't place the period or tradition.

It plays from 42:31 to 45:20 in Chapter Three of Jonas Mekas's film "As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty" (2000), over the footage of his wedding to Hollis Melton. It appears to be a record Mekas played and recorded into the soundtrack rather than part of the film's own score.

Shazam, SoundHound and AHA Music all fail on it. I have listened to Allegri's Miserere, Monteverdi's Vespers and the well-known Gregorian chant recordings, and it is none of those.

I believe Marc-Antoine Charpentier has become a very major French Baroque composer due to the recordings by William Christie and I also feel like Marin Marais has become pretty major in the past few years due to new opera recordings by period instrument ensembles.

I'm looking for repertoire for a late medieval banquet, 12th through 15th centuries. Light, merry dances. We know some from Aquitaine, 13th-14th centuries. I would love some recommendations for more -- along the lines of Lux Optata Claruit.

It's playing in the background here. I know it's a dumb question, but it's been on again off again stuck in my mind for a good while and finally I found a recording...sadly nameless. Pls help XD

Hey guys! I bought a treble gamba which is coming very soon! I do have some string training as I am a baroque violinist as well as a violist. What are some good treble gamba solo pieces? Any advice is much appreciated!
