Another piece of music I'm familiar with and like:

Ah Gesualdo and Monteverdi, nice!

I recently bought some Gesualdo works and I found this one quite striking with its at times seemingly modern style, in particular parts of the "Jerusalem surgem":

Les Arts Florissants did a live version of Monteverdi's 8th Madrigal book of love and war which I found absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, it is now only on Youtube in fragments

Supplemental baroque music:

Arcangelo Corelli;





Not quite as good as other composers, but a very important one for his development of the violin’s repertoire and the chamber music in general.

H.I,F, Biber’s “Rosary Sonatas.”



The stations of the cross fused with incendiary violin playing, and some very unusual tunings.

Henry Purcell, composer of the music that kicked off my favourite film of all time:





Although, I freely admit hearing it not on a needlessly complicated Moog synthesizer kind of dulls the edge for me.

I think you may have posted the wrong clip for the second one since it's the same one as the first.

One reason I'm a big fan of Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music is it demonstrates a time when the line between country music, the blues, folk songs, and even jazz or gospel (okay, jazz was already a bit different from the rest at this point) were a lot more permeable than one would have expected. In essence, it's the primordial ooze containing the common ancestors from which all the popular music we listen to today comes from, and I'm legitimately surprised that there's nothing of that primordial ooze in this playlist documenting the evolution of music. Not even a token Robert Johnson or Carter Family track.

It's also extremely western-centric for the first several centuries, with the exception of the second video.

And the Israeli clip.

But yeah I'm with you on this. Any Eastern type from the periods we've already covered that you'd perhaps like to share?

Yeah, I've taken it upon myself to try and rectify the gaps I've noticed. Let's see you try to fill in the gaps you've noticed. I admit that my supplements are Eurocentric, but I have to admit, as encyclopedic as my knowledge of music may seem, I don't have a grasp on the timeline of the evolution of, say, African guitar music (apparently, Ali Farka Toure's music has been playing throughout Mali in some form or another for millennia), or Indonesian Gamelan, let alone anything of Asian music. In this regard, my knowledge consists roughly of "Ambush From All Sides" from a period so long ago it may as well be prehistoric, "Rose, Rose, I Love You" and "Misirlou" from the 1930s (and maybe the Korean/Chinese/Japanese music played on M*A*S*H occasionally a bit later), Ravi Shankar's heyday in the late Sixties, and "Gangnam Style." I'd really be interested to put it all in a broader historical context.

Just went through all the latest clips posted in this thread. Rev, the Purcell piece at the beginning was in A Clockwork Orange, wasn't it? I didn't know it was this old. I actually quite like this piece, though the rest of the clip was back to dull for me.
