matteo da perugia

every monday evening, this group plays rennaisance and medieval music for diversion mostly. this evening, we played a canon by matteo da perugia. the difference was that this piece was in medieval notation. this is what we sounded like after two or three attempts. this piece is a round, which means that the group is divided into 3.. the second choir starts playing at the beginning of the piece after the first choir has played eight beats, and the third choir starts at the beginning after the second choir has played 8 beats.. all the parts are played on tenor recorder. this is what music looked like in the early 1400's.
