One of the shortest episodes of the Antiphonary Walkthrough so far. So if you can't stand too much of the damned thing, this is the one to watch. Quick and easy! Plus: you get to experience the explosive start of the Respond Lapides torrentis. Cool.

Les Beguinages X – Dendermonde [B] – Beghinae by Psallentes
"Béguinage de Termonde. La paix de cet enclos fut troublée par l'incendie de son église lors de la tourmente de 1914-18; seuls les murs extérieurs de l'église actuelle sont anciens." Taken from Mademoiselle Van Bever, Beguinages. Bruxelles, Editions du Cercle d’Art, 1943. Psallentes has made a much acclaimed Beghinae-album. Ask for it in your local... Continue Reading →
[NL] Musica Mediaevalis 20/40 — Tripidium rotundum
Over hoe mensen dansten in de Middeleeuwen zijn we slechts zeer ten dele en zeer onrechtstreeks, of met andere woorden, zeer slecht geïnformeerd.

Les Beguinages IX – Herentals [B] – Beghinae by Psallentes
"Béguinage d'Herentals. Edifice archaïsant, l'église s'apparente aux petites églises gothiques rurales du XIIIe siècle. Les chevets plats des bras du transept ont l'aspect de pignons à gradins du côté nord, rappelant ceux des maisons d'habitation champenoises. Une toiture unique recouvre la nef et les collatéraux." Taken from Mademoiselle Van Bever, Beguinages. Bruxelles, Editions du Cercle... Continue Reading →
