/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.

How are you supposed to figure out these Troubador songs that have notes with pitches but no time values? This is what I've learned about it so far.

Anybody know some good Bavarian medieval music?
For me, I only know the Landsknecht ones, since the Landsknecht were Swiss-Bavarian, I listen to those, does anyone know some more Bavarian medieval music?

Medieval music and middle eastern instruments
Good morning or good evening everyone. I just found out about this subreddit so I don't know if this very question has been asked before.
So, I ordered a Turkish Cura Saz some days ago. I got it and now I've used it for a couple of days. It sounds wonderful and I'm really enjoying playing it. Now, I didn't really think of actually trying to play middle eastern music, so I asked myself if a middle eastern instrument like the Saz, either a Cura, a short or a long neck, would work well for 'Western style's medieval music.
I did try playing something medieval-esque on it and I honestly think that its' crystalline and middle eastern sound fits really well. I am now thinking of getting a Long neck Saz in the future and try that out, but before I actually get it I need to know if you think it'd be appropriate to use an instrument that is not exactly the kind of instrument that medieval westerners would use (unless I'm mistaken about this whole thing).
Also, mind you that I'm not well educated on the matter so your knowledge will only help me understand more, so thank you, passer-by!

Any songs that sound like the first minute and fifteen of this track?
I hope this is the place for me to ask, if not I apologize. The first minute and 15sec of this song are amazing (the whole song is good) but it switches genres around the 1:30 mark to something completely different. I'm looking for medieval music that resembles the first part. Thank you for taking the time to listen and reply.

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.
