Both my previous “cover versions” this week have taken music and brought it “up to date” – today we go the other way. I have to say that until quite recently I didn’t know that this was “a thing” but it doesn’t take long n YouTube to find many medieval cover versions 😃 It seems that this has gained the name “Bardcore”!
Early Music
Very Old Music
Apart from popular songs like I shared yesterday the King’s Singers also performed a huge range of “classical” music from all of the history of music. A Capella singing has been around a long time!! I particularly enjoyed many of their “early music” songs – but today’s offering would have been a bit beyond six of them. It is Thomas Tallis’ 40-part “Spem in alium”.
Music For Spy Wednesday
I am not intending this series to have much of a theme usually, but it seems right that over the next few days I post some music that fits in some way with Easter.
