4 out of 5 stars A very nice album for SCAdian ears.......2007-04-25

This is a fun album. it's festive, playful, and a real joy to listen to. There is something for everyone in this album--including and especially SCAdians. In fact there's probably at least one piece on this album that every SCAdian dancer, musician, and/or bard will recognize. There's courtly songs, love songs, and get out of your chair dances, even formal pieces you associate with concert halls.

Whether you play in the SCA or just love great historical music, this is one of the better albums I've ever bought--on amazon or anywhere else!

1 out of 5 stars Recording is defective.......2007-04-06

The first one I got had a lot of popping and crackling, and some digital defects that cause the CD player to skip. I liked the music so I bought another copy and it was the same. Both wound up in the trash. Don't waste your money on this disk.

2 out of 5 stars adequate performances but totally inadequate information.......2005-04-27

It is perhaps unfair to judge the performances on this recording (presumably made in the late 1950s/early 60s? - we are not given a date) by modern standards of early music performance. Yes, there are moments when the experimental nature of the approach is all too apparent, both in terms of the [im]plausibility of the interpretations and in the [at times] excruciating intonation (a particularly pertinent example is the shawm playing in track 10). But what is in fact by far the most deplorable feature of this recording is the utter sparsity of information provided - about the performers, the instruments, the composers, the repertoire, etc. Worse still, what little that is provided is often hopelessly inaccurate: sometimes in the form of blatant spelling errors (eg the Coventry Carol becomes here 'Lully Lullary', etc), at other times factual blunders (the medieval 'Estampie' in track 10 is in fact a 16th cent [ie Renaissance] tourdion, 'Quand je bois du vin clairet', whilst John Dowland's 'Frogg Galliard', c.1597, is here given an anonymous attribution...etc, etc, etc).

In short, for those not acquainted with pre-Baroque music, this is NOT a good place to start!!! Seasoned Early Music connoisseurs, on the other hand, may find a perverse pleasure in some atrocious moments, or perhaps take interest in its value as an example of historically informed performance style in the pioneering years - but you have been warned!!

For those interested, here are some alternative recommendations if you are new to this music: firstly, 2 wide-ranging compilations by 2 well-known ensembles -

1. Sinners and Saints - The New London Consort/Philip Pickett (Decca 48559)
2. Portrait ('Moyen Age et Renaissance') - Hesperion XX/Jordi Savall (Auvidis Fontalis 'Portrait' ES9904), or either of the 2 new compilations by Savall and his ensemble(s) on Alia Vox ('Harmonie Universelle', AV9810; 'Harmonie Universelle II', AV9839).

and a compilation (mostly of early music) featuring a number of different groups -

'Pastime with Good Company' (Alpha, A901) [includes groups like L'Arpegiatta, Le Poeme Harmonique, Diabolus in Musica...]

3 out of 5 stars A nice overview of very early music.......2003-12-02

This was one of the first recordings of early music I ever bought. It's a broad survey of styles and periods, from the 12th to 17th centuries. I've become a more sohisticated listener since then, but I still get this one out fairly regularly. The recording is apparently old and the digital remastering was not done extraordinarily well, but those who are more interested in music than in audio equipment should be able to listen through the occasional (minor) vinyl surface noise. My major complaint (why I gave it 3 stars instead of 4) is the lack of documentation--there is no information about the musicians, and many of the composers are uncredited (some because they actually are anonymous, but sometimes out of apparent laziness). Still, at this price it's a bargain.

5 out of 5 stars Don't Be Affraid.......2003-11-19

This cd is worth picking up. Yes the first couple of tracks have pops and crackles in it. And yes it sounds as if the music was transfered directly from a vinyl source. But the performances and selections on this cd are fabulous. And you get use to the flaws in the recordings. Which I find minor.

This cd was actually the first Medieval and Renaissance album I ever bought. I bought it randomly in 1992 to try and introduce myself to these two era's of Classical music. And it was PERFECT. I have been a loyal fan of Medieval & Renaissance music ever since. I currently own 25 to 30 cd's covering these era now. And this album is still one of my favorites......

        There are many recordings whose theme is music for, about, or in praise of the Virgin Mary. This one does a far better job than most--from the outstanding musical selections to the excellent performances to the superb instrumental and vocal arrangements. The choice of tempos and the overall pacing are absolutely right, and the individual voices work well either solo or in ensemble. There's a huge variety of musical selections, from 10th-century Spain to 16th-century England--many are by anonymous composers, but Praetorius, Nanino, and Morales also are represented. These five performers manage to create an atmosphere that captures the energy and spontaneity of a concert. The only unfortunate thing about a recording such as this is that it may not get the wide attention and distribution that it deserves. --David Vernier

        5 out of 5 stars One of the best early music albums available........2003-06-17

        The more you listen to it, the more you hear in it. The small size of the consort give it an intimacy that coupled with the quality of the recording, and
        the power of the arrangements and performance, really grabs you. "Heu, Teneri Partus" absolutely takes me away.

        5 out of 5 stars Superb tone and execution.......1999-09-02

        Maestro Salamunovich does a superb job of blending the Chorale in an unbelievable combination of tones with superlative diction. The great organs and symphonies of the world are something to be experienced, but Maestro Salamunovich brings expression of the music from a brilliantly-tuned instrument of voices and instruments. O Magnum Mysterium is a piece which one must listened.

        5 out of 5 stars Particular interest in the song, "Sweet Little Jesus Boy.".......1998-10-21

        Please note that Sweet Little Jesus Boy is not, as presented, a "Traditional" song. The composer is Robert Hunter MacGimsey, who wrote the song on Christmas Eve in New York City when he observed how the celebration of the birth of Jesus had degraded into shameless drunkedness and commercialism, with the message of His ministry all but forgotten. He went to his apartment and began writing a lament: Sweet Little Jesus Boy, we didn't know you come to save us, Lord, look how we treated you...Our eyes was blind, we couldn't see, we didn't know who you was. My name is Glen Stockton. Bob MacGimsey was my uncle. Throughout his life he wrote hundreds of songs based on the old Negro style, including Shadrach, Jonah and the Whale, Jeri Jericho, Daniel in the Lion's Den, Down to the River, Were You There When They Crucified My Lord, and Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen. If you have ever heard genuine old Negro spirituals, most likely they were songs written and published by Bob MacGimsey. He passed away in 1979; his 100th birthday would have been September 7, 1998. He was also known as the world's greatest whistler, able to whistle in 3-part harmonies with perfect pitch. Most celebrated artists of the 1920's to 1940's sang his songs, and millions heard him whistle on NBC radio during that period. He worked at the Walt Disney Studios on the movie, "Song of the South," and was the whistling heard in many of the Disney classic animated features.

              This is an awesome CD. The quality of the voices that comprise the group Musica Sacra is outstanding! I wish that there were other works by this group. Richard Westenburg must be a genius! I have over a hundred Christmas Choral selections to choose from each Christmas season, but this is by far my favorite!

              5 out of 5 stars Best Christmas vocal cd EVER.......1998-11-24

              Vocal perfection. A treat to listen to on headphones. Each year, I search for stores that carry it and buy a couple for gifts, which are universally appreciated by friends who truly appreciate vocal music. If Amazon gets it in stock, don't wait!
