Description
Early Music CDs set 1 (FIXED AND EXPANDED)
CDs ripped, CD booklets scanned and edited and converted to CBR, PDF, EPUB, and MOBI files, and torrent released by Spica-Starhome. This torrent replaces an earlier set 1 by Spica and Sirius that was less well done, adds a torrent that wasn't in the set, and adds four more CDs that weren't released before. It includes:  The A-La-Mi-Re Manuscripts: Flemish Polyphonic Treasures for Charles V by Capilla Flamenca. This is a selection of 17 motets from various illuminated music manuscripts produced by Petrus Alamire, a famous musical calligrapher, between 1497 and 1535. Commentary in English, German, French, and Dutch. Original Latin, Dutch, and French text of the songs is provided, with English translations.  At the Sign of the Crumhorn by Convivium Musicum Gothenburgense. Here you'll find 29 songs and dances from Tielman Susato's music books, 1551. Commentary in English, German, and French. Original Dutch text of the songs is provided, with English translations.  Carmina Burana by Ensemble Unicorn and Oni Wytars. Here are 13 songs from Carmina Burana, a medieval collection.

Codex Faenza: Instrumental Music of the Early 15th Century by Ensemble Unicorn and Michael Posch. Here are 17 songs from c. 1410-1420, performed by Ensemble Unicorn and Michael Posch.

See the notes, in English, by Philip Weller, translated into German by Renate Wendel, and French by Hyperion Publishing. The original Latin lyrics of the sections of the Mass is included, with English translations, only in the English section. Possibly the publishers felt that anyone who reads German or French doesn't need the familiar words of the Latin Mass translated.  [size=150]Guillaume Du Fay: Mass for St. Anthony of Padua.

Musica Reservata: Secret Music for Albrecht V[/green] composed by Orlando di Lasso. Performed by Profeti della Quinta and Dolce Risonanza under the direction of Florian Wieninger. Previously released as an individual torrent but not collected into a set. Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria commissioned Orlando di Lasso, the head of his court chapel in Munich, to compose musical settings of the Penitential Psalms for instruments and voice. The cover of the package for this CD features a painting by Hans Mielich entitled "Albrecht V, Duke of Bavaria, and his Court chapel". Inside, the cover of the CD brochure shows the vocal group Profeti della Quinta and the instrumental group Dolce Risonanza arranged as in the painting, except they aren't in period costumes. Commentary for the CD by Florian Wieninger and Bernard Rainer appears in English (translation by David Babcock), French (translated by Sylvie Coquillat), and the original German. The original Latin text of the psalms is included alongside English translations. The music was recorded in Austria by a German company. The CD was manufactured in the Netherlands.
