Medieval Musicians

historical-nonfiction:

Wandering entertainers in the Middle Ages, who kept the huddled masses from killing themselves, had a really bad deal. They were usually dirty, poor, and considered criminals—even if they were never actually accused of a specific crime. By the end of the 1400s, a vagrant could be arrested on the charge of nothing more than “suspicious wandering.”

wait wat.

What about all the court musicians, the viellists, the rebeckers, the citolists, the vihuelans, the lutists, the polyphonic composers, the troubadours, the ars antiquae/nova/sublitor composers who evolved music?

I mean, it is hard to believe that they were thought as criminals and helped people not kill themselves from medieval boredom…

"Whether you are five years old and irresistibly drawn to the piano in your home, or you are an adult..."

“Whether you are five years old and irresistibly drawn to the piano in your home, or you are an adult who suddenly falls in love with music and decides to take lessons, the knowledge that you belong in the world of music is deep and indestructible. It is part of your basic nature, as much as the color of your eyes or the sound of your voice. Even your choice of instrument might feel choiceless; you hear a piano or a cello and somehow know that that is the instrument you must play.”

- Madeline Bruser (from The Art of Practicing)

I might just end up quoting this entire book on here; it’s that fantastic!
