Product Description

CD Description

If the name doesn't clue you in, the plunging necklines should: Mediaeval Babes are the virgin-vamps of early classicalmusic, their angelic chants perfectly offset by pouty, come-hither stares (not to mention the topless photos of membersthat sprinkle the liner notes). The Babes are the brainchild of Katharine Blake of Miranda Sex Garden, who, along with 11 other female singers and musicians, helped establish a contemporary approach to medieval music.
Interestingly, on their debut album SALVA NOS, the end result is more traditional than you'd expect. The songs draw from traditional sources from the 12th through the 15th centuries, and only rarelyinclude instrumentation, unlike later albums such as UNDENTRIDE and THE ROSE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lashings of pure, vibrato-free singing!, 20 Jan 2001
This is a pleasant little album to listen to. It's a bit hard to categorise - it isn't out-and-medieval/Renaissance music, it certainly isn't pop, but yet it's not really a crossover. What it is though, is a good introduction to a form of singing which has been sorely neglected - old church music, folk songs, and especially something approaching their original language, pronunciation etc. OK, the pedants among you may not appreciate the fact that it is sung by a group of pretty young women, most of whom have little musical training - you must remember that folk sings were sung by normal people; not that I'm knocking the quality of singing - there is something heart-rendingly delightful about the pure female voice - vibrato-free, with no pretensions or yearnings to sing Verdi or whatever. There is a fair amount of Christian music in here, but surely that is because people's Christian belief was a major part of their lives in the period involved, and many composers were in the employment of cathedrals and churches. If you are worried by the Christian content - don't be. This music is chosen for its beauty, not for its religious message. I challenge you to listen to Veni, Veni Emmanuel and not be captivated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant!!!!, 30 Sep 2001
This CD is one of the few in my collection that actually makes me put down my book to listen to it. It's absolutely brilliant, the voices all blend together superbly whether they are unaccompanied or accompanied by atmospheric music.

5.0 out of 5 stars purists may not like it but everyone one else will!, 2 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This is a beautiful albul full of haunting melodies coupled with exiting, rawcous sining. The medieaval excerpts themselves are extremely interesting and entertaining and they helped me in no end with the studying of A Level English! This album may not be as accesible as later Baebes albums but it remains bt far the purist and most overtly classical of the three. I would not hesitate to reccomend this album to anyone - with the exception of the classical purists. I would say however that the first Mediaeval Baebes album a newcomer should by is either their 'Best of' or Worldes Blysse which is the more accesable of the three. By the way I also listen to Hole, My Ruin, Nirvana and Deftones so dont be put off if you dont usually buy classical music. This is a perfect Christmas of birthday present for anyone and the Baebes are particularly captivating and intruiging particularly Audrey Evans who has a beautiful singing voice but is often overlooked in favour of the founder Katharine Blake ( who also has a good voice I'm not saying she's overrated!). Particular songs to look out for are Fowles in the Frith, Miri it Is, Salva Nos, AH Si Mon Moine and This Ay Nicht. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Beautiful
A perfect album for relaxing after a hard day's work at the office.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really quite enjoyable
I'm no expert on medieval music but I really did enjoy this album. A refreshing change and rather soothing too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps one for the completist
I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this as their first Mediaeval Baebes CD. It's nowhere near as accessible as, say, Undrentide. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars The phoney sings baloney...
The Mediaeval Baebes was dreamed up to make someone lots of money by cashing in on the interest in early music. I suspect, and earnestly hope, that this failed. Read more
