/r/MedievalMusic
A subreddit to share and talk about medieval music, or music that has a medieval feel to it.
Sît willekomen, herre gast! Be sure to check out /r/MedievalArt, our sister subreddit.
Welcome to /r/MedievalMusic!
This is a forum for the sharing and discussion of medieval music, or music that is evocative of the Middle Ages.
Most genres go as long as it meets one of those criteria, so this may include actual medieval music, but also neo-medieval, classical music, folk and neofolk, folk metal and so forth. As long as it has a "medieval feel/atmosphere", it belongs here - but the mainstay of this subreddit will always be more or less authentic medieval music.
There aren't really any rules other than don't post memes or other low-effort content, do not post Bardcore (medievalised versions of pop songs), do post music and have music discussions, and be civil.
See the guidelines on the wiki if you want to know more. Below are some recommended subreddits, for more subreddits to explore go here.

We recorded songs in a church to get the perfect acoustics for our game, Legends of the Round Table. Played on a real harp, this is a short extract of Ab Joy Et Ab Joven M'Apais sung by Anne Azema - would LOVE to hear your thoughts! 🙏

Kravik Lyre
I have something really special to present to you today!
Kravik lyre, but with nine strings. Lyre is built out of alderwood with birch rosette, brass tailpiece and sycamore bridge. To be able to implement two extra pegs I had to make instrument a little bit wider, but proportions were all the same. Finished with natural wax, linien oil and terpentine mixture.

Reading on Ars Nova
Hello, I am looking for a very good book (or even long paper) on the Ars Nova movement. Can anyone recommend one? I am looking for a general overview of the movement's key features, players, and significance and would love something that lists many pieces of music that I can try and find and listen to.
Context: I heard a piece by Guillaume de Machaut this morning and fell down an internet rabbit hole.
