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.

Pucelete-Je Languis-Domino from the 13th C Montpellier Codex Arranged for Medieval Lute and Gittern. Two simultaneous songs about love over a tenor line about pizza (well, at least Domino).

Hey folks, I need some help with identifying a musical instrument please.

Hey guys and gals, I was listening to this video by Alina Gingertail and I absolutely fell in love with the whistle/end-blown-flute at 00:14. Can you help me identify what it is more precisely? I'm a complete rooky at wind instruments, but I would love to learn to play what she is using there. I did some research and it seems it is either a Wooden Whistle or an End Blown Wooden Flute, in High D.

On another note from what I've seen so far online those wooden instruments usually look quite "classic" for the lack of a better word. How do you get one alike her's? I'll leave some pics for reference.

Thanks for reading folk, I appreciate your help <3

Electro-Euroatavism -- a new genre that merges the traditions of Medieval music with electronic sounds

I like electronic music that's heavily influenced by Medieval music and European folk music (e.g., from the Balkans, Iberian Peninsula) that developed from Medieval traditions.

But, I've long perceived a problem with so-called "Medieval" music that many here have also brought up, before: We actually don't know a lot about what Medieval music actually was. I did a lot of research on this topic to find a more concise way to find authenticity in so-called "Medieval" music. Along the way, I discovered ways in which some electronic music genres have many similarities to electronic music. It's an interesting idea to consider.

I wrote all of this up on an article in Medium (too long to post the details here; it's a free read in its entirety), but I would be interested in others' thoughts.

Enchanted Forest: Elves, Fairies, and Medieval Fantasy Ambience

I've made this playlist and I thought it maybe fits here. It has all the typical instruments and elements of medieval music. I hope I can get some new listeners because im trying to branch out with my music mixes.

Medical or herbal lyrics?

Hey everyone! I’m looking for medieval music that focuses on themes of medicine, healing, or herbs. Are there any songs or bands that explore old healing practices, herbalism, or the role of healers in the medieval era? I’m particularly interested in music from modern medieval or pagan bands, but historical songs are welcome too. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Son me regarde-Prennes i garde-He mi enfant from the Montpellier Codex for Medieval Lute and Gittern. An anonymous polyphonic piece from the medieval Montpellier Codex c1250 here is a clever triple motet.

Looking for a particular song about the sea

I remember at the back of my mind, a song about the sea written but a southern European bard of some sorts. I remember the melody but I only remember the first word which was Quantas??. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but any help would be amazing.

Music video inspired by the old Slavic cult of Svantovit and the historical events of the early medieval pagan Slavs of Central Europe. Reconstructed Proto-Slavic, ritual, battle and a return to the old gods - this all is part of the concept of the music video.

Composed during the transistional period between medieval and renaissance, this chanson was later used by several renaissance composers including Josquin and Capirola in new settings and intabulations
