I second that. Great 30Q *ig. I don't have any hair left to pull!

Nav, I'll let you take the first crack at guess for the composition (once *ig answers the final 2 questions).

You deserve 1st chance because you came up with the oh so important composer! Good luck!

tough questions guys! I'll have to research the answers.

Was the composition originally attributed to Leonin?

29. no. (or it shouldn't have been).

here's a little explanation about early motets. they were created by adding text to the upper faster voices in the organum compositions, which go against slow notes in the bass singing plainchant. Phillip the Chancellor added text to many of Perotin's works, to update them into the newfangled motets. so I won't answer that question and let you ask another one.

I decided to answer it, since I found the site that led you to ask the question, and I know my answer will lead to right answer.

30. Is it known for a piece of text (which converts into a motet, I suppose) by Philip the Chancellor?
I think it is more well known in the original, but I just found out that it has been perfomed with text added by Philip the Chancellor.

Is it the 4-voice composition Viderunt Omnes?

Is it the Beata Viscera (Blessed Offspring)?

Way to go Nav!

I didn't think this one would get solved, but it did, using all 30Q's!

by **navneeth** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 2:30 am

Whew... That's was a good one, 'naf.

The next 30Q will be up in short while from now.

ty. I hope it inspires you to check out more pre-1600 music. good job coming up with Perotin. I bet you got it from my "Early Music" thread.

Not exactly. I googled for French medieval composers and came across " Choral Wiki", this page to be exact. I had come across some names earlier, so I searched for others here. Perotin came along, and I found his Sederunt... and Viderunt... in your list of Top Ten Sacred Works, and also in other threads, one of which was probably your "Early Music" thread.

Btw, have a ear on today's 4 o' clock Vocal. :wink:

thanks! I hope I can listen. I can't instal anything on this computer, so I hope I don't need anything extra to listen.

I can only listen with real player. is there any way to do that iwthout a radio pass subscription?

Sure, there's the free stream. Open Real Player and open the Radio section (View -> Radio). In the page that appears, choose Classical and United States and you're bound to find the link to B.com in the list.

I'm not really sure about listening to Viderunt Omnes today (at least by what Scott announced) although I sent the request hours ago.
