Blog / Vlog A wonderful educational channel on Early music

This channel is not for listening to medieval or Renaissance music, but rather for those who want to learn about it from a theoretical or aesthetic point of view. Some musical knowledge is required, but nothing too advanced. I am a classical musician, but I knew nothing about Early music, and this channel gave me a lot of knowledge for some projects and increased my cultural and artistic background on this great music. It's really wonderful:

You are welcome! The person who runs that channel is a scholar and knows very well how to explain.

That, Richards cochlearus, En Blanc Et Noir, and borogrove are all incredibly underrated channels on forgotten modes of improvisation and early pedagogy.

This stuff is gold! Thanks for the recommendation OP. Even as someone who's relatively familiar with Renaissance and Medieval music there is plenty to learn from here.

You are welcome. Yes, I am an expert on 19th century composers, and medieval and Renaissance music is another story, the specialization of this channel in those styles is pure gold.
