Thanks for letting me be a part of these lectures. I majored in Trumpet, Music Ed., & played Principal Trumpet in Chicago, Denton TX, Milwaukee, Augusta, & Atlanta, GA. 46 years! Michael McClary
Also I LOVE how you scroll the music with a cursor as it plays. Don't know how you go about doing it, but it's incredibly helpful.

Thanks! That was something I HAD to learn how to do in order to make this channel work. It's all thanks to Adobe After Effects!
Love your tribute to Alex. :)
Thank you so much for this, I am a voice major at Lee University and I am sharing your videos with my Antiquity of music history class!
9:54 - i discovered his music about 17 years ago and he is one of my favourites
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for music with us! I've been getting into listening to medieval and renaissance music recently and your videos are helping me understand and appreciate it even more. I love the little touches of humor you add. Thanks again!
I love that you've used the Traditional Latin Mass as your point of reference - but the Mass is not a reenactment of the Last Supper, but a memory and Sacramental repetition of the Sacrifice of Calvary 😁

And we do not receive bread and wine but the body and blood of Christ.

It IS that too. John Williams "borrows" a lot from the classical repertoire!
Merci beaucoup. As someone who works in the French, your accent was, as we say, parfait. Funny this was about church music. I remember attending the mass in Latin, and we had to sing these songs. And I realize that my lifetime of saying that I was born with two left ears. I had several brothers, and they always got in trouble when I sang since they laughed so much. it helped with my comedy chops, but only last year I started studying the piano to make up for lost time. Au revoir.
Thank you so much, Matthew!
4:04 its either star wars or symphony no 5 are my first htoughts
I've discovered the change-speed function for YT videos. It is very entertaining...

Good one Elder!
4:12 i was thinking imperial march tbh
Hi man first of all thank you for this beautiful lesson and video. I am also looking for a book which can help me to understand the writing for Mass and structure, can you recommend me. Thank you
It's always so funny to hear comments from ages ago on the new musics of their time. Humanity's been basically saying the same thing about new music no matter when that occurred or what the culture of the time was.

We get attached to the music of our youth and tend to stick with it come what may.
Save yourselves a LOT of frustration and start at 2:26 unless you want to see five-too-many examples of Alex Trebek, may he rest in peace.
i have to watch this for my music history class cries
8:02
😂😂😂😂 Alex Trebek's face popping up 😂😂😂
That Machaut excerpt of Kyrie sounded out of tune at parts

That´s only because it doesnt always use the diatonic scale. Matthew should talk about the modes at some point.
omg you keep saying you're going to "get into it" but it's like never starting. I have exit exams here to do my man. Let's go!
IDK I pronounce words I the way I know they are supposed to sound. If I don't know how to pronounce it then it goes to butchery
Where are all the "ars nova" jokes? 😀
Horrible - at 4:10: This is *not* the original rhythm. Shame on you. I really can't believe it.
