Almost 40 years ago, I had a dead-end data-entry summer job whose only advantage was that I could wear headphones in my cubicle. Fortunately, the local classical commercial station (WCRB Boston) had a very adventurous programming director who would often play long pieces that would run over the hour mark (whole Mahler symphonies, Tchaikovsky ballets, etc.) One day they played Dufay's Missa Ecce Ancilla Domine by Pomerium Musices (now just Pomerium). I was transfixed for the entire album. I had never heard anything that beautiful in my life. I bought the record in Tower on my way home from work. It changed my listening life.

Gracias a tu comentario escucharé esa pieza musical. Entiendo muy poco el inglés de lo que habla el tipo, solo que habla de DUFAY y de la polifonía.
This is brilliant. Really excited to discover your channel. As a lover of early music, but not a classical musician, it is exciting to have so many of the technical elements of the music explained - and explained so clearly. Thank you!

Thanks for your kind words! Glad you're enjoying the channel so far!
Freakin' ADORE this channel: it's pure genius. Hope it becomes one of the most popular music-related channels on all of KZread. The content is very accurate and well-researched, but not at all pedantic or boring: it's FRESH, clearly-presented and assumes only the most basic knowledge of music theory on the part of the listeners. I'm marathoning ALL the videos here, with the hopes of MANY more to come!!!
Du Fay has ALWAYS (well, since grade 12, lol) been one of my fav composers of all time. It's a crying shame that he's not very well known today.
thanks for the new episodes! just in time for my renaissance music exam tomorrow.

Glad to help! Good luck on the exam!
Dufay - one of my favs.
1:37 is that Dunstable's portrait? I thought it was Henry V?
The effect is even better if the major thirds above the root are tuned purely (i.e., to around 386 cents) rather than as 400-cent 12-tone equal tempered "piano thirds," with their jarring beats.
We found your films shortly and love them all! 🫶👌 super profound, compact and interesting. Thanks so much🏅🙏
