Marco Cannavò and Steve Tyler - Stella Splendens



"Stella Splendens" is an anonymous polyphonic song written in the 14th century. It is one of the oldest surviving pieces of medieval music still performed today, originally created as a devotional song and dance for pilgrims to sing while they were waiting and resting at the Monastery of Montserrat.​

Marco Cannavò and Steve Tyler - performing regularly in the UK right now!
 

Galdr (The Chanted Spell) | Old Norse Viking Music​




“Galdr (The Chanted Spell)” is an Old Norse ritual song about the force of words when they are no longer spoken, but sung into being. In Norse tradition, galdr was not casual speech - it was chant, breath, rhythm and will, carried through the voice until language became power. The song follows a lone voice calling from the chest, shaped by raven cries, heavy steps and deep ceremonial rhythm. The lyrics move around the idea that a spell is not explained. It is carried, repeated and awakened through sound.​
 
didn't really listen to a lot of stuff in this thread... i've been through a lot of similar international music before and it's not really my vibe.

i thought this Zimbabwe: Shona Mbira Music by the Nonesuch Explorer Series was international. i googled and it is.




i don't want to get into how this music makes me feel, other than i feel strongly about it. i have a few other favorite tracks on the cd, but i would recommend the whole thing.

ehh... here's three of my other favorite tracks upon a quick skim through the album. probably the best ones. i'll definitely be writing my whole review of this album again some where on the internet, not that it's not a straight listen all the way through:
