#Mediaeval Baebes

[gothiccharmschool]

Music recommendation!

Reposting Cher's "Sanctuary" catalog triggered a sense memory, and I realized many of you may not know about Mediaeval Baebes. Do you need music you to imagine yourself strolling through an enchanted forest at dusk? Do you need music that makes you feel like you're walking through a dusty archive of fairy tales and folklore? Go you want the aesthetic of Gregorian Chants, but more pagan? Go. Go forth and listen to the Mediaeval Baebes. They're wonderful.

13 days of witches: witch of the holy spring

"…a still, bright pool. To men I may not tell / The secrets that its heart of water knows… / Yet this I say to cliff and close-leaved dell: / A fitful spirit haunts yon limpid well." — Henry Kendall

Culture after culture has found the spring, faith after faith, recognizing its power in a thousand dialects and by a hundred titles, time and again declaring it sacred, divinely touched. One after another those cultures pass from the land, those faiths fade into memory, yet the spring remains. Time alters its outlines, changes the notes of its bubbling music, but it is never erased. Just as constant is the spring's attendant witch. Some have called her a fairy, others a ghost, some even believed her the spirit of the spring itself. She is part guardian, part caretaker, part priestess, called to serve and protect the spring until the end of her life when another will take her place. In return the spring grants its keeper a share in its power, an ever-renewing spark of energy from which the witch may always draw. Invigorated with its power the witch serves the spring, the land, and its people for ages beyond her own paltry mortal span. Her days are spent in purification and healing, easing pain, fostering the life of forest and field, and tending to the many pilgrims who come to her for aid or to partake in the spring's life-giving waters-- and in denying all such offerings to any who would threaten the spring or hoard its gifts.

He's ta'en her by the milk white hand And by the grass green sleeve He's led her to the fairy ground And spier'd at her nae leave

Adam lay ybounden, Bounden in a bond; Four thousand winter Thought he not too long. And all was for an apple, An apple that he took, As clerkës finden written In their book. Nor had one apple taken been, The apple taken been, Then had never Our Lady A-been heaven's queen. Blessed be the time That apple taken was. Therefore we may singen Deo gratias!

Day 9 is a dreamy, somewhat haunting retelling. I really like the vocals and simple instrumental accompaniment in this one.

Bardcore took rap songs and made them Mediaeval, while the Mediaeval Baebes take Mediaeval songs and make them into rap! These talented ladies should do a cross over with Beedle the Bardcore sometime in the future.

RINGA RINGA (THE OLD PANDEMIC FOLK SONG) ORBITAL ft. THE MEDIAEVAL BAEBES [OPTICAL DELUSION, FEB 2023]

[english-history-trip]

My choir is rehearsing for the upcoming season; here's our rendition of "Kinderly", a 14th century poem in Middle English set to music by Katharine Blake of the group Mediaeval Baebes.

Kyndeli is now mi coming

in to ȝis werld wiht teres and cry;

Litel and pouere is myn hauing,

briȝel and sone i-falle from hi;

Scharp and strong is mi deying,

i ne woth whider schal i;

Fowl and stinkande is mi roting—

on me, ihesu, ȝow haue mercy!

----

Kinderly is now my coming

into this world with tears and cries;

Little and poor is my having,

brittle and soon I fall from high;

Sharp and strong is my dying

I know not whither shall I;

Foul and stinking is my rotting —

on me, Jesu, you have mercy!
