Adieu, adieu, by Gilles Binchois (1400-1460), transcribed/arranged by Mark Priest
Secular song by Renaissance composer Gilles Binchois (1400-1460), which I've transcribed for a trio of Recorders: Soprano, Alto, and Tenor, plus optional sopranino and added percussion parts. To listen, click/tap image (below), wait for the wav file to load. (!)
The reason we can perform such ancient music today in the 21st century is due to SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY developed years ago: European musicians of the 15th century had developed a system of music notation, so their musical compositions could be written down on paper, and subsequently widely distributed to a musically-literate public (thanks to the introduction of the printing press!).
We still employ a modern version of that same music notation system today. #classical-music
Technical info: I used Sibelius notation software to export this rudimentary audio track, with a bit of EQ tweaking and reverb added using the free audio production app Audacity.
The composer Gilles Binchois' song "Adieu, adieu" is in Public Domain, but the arrangement for recorders etc.,. is my own. Feel free to share the track; I only ask that you credit both the composer and myself.
