Pérotin [magister Perotinus magnus] (Parigi, 1160 circa – 1230 circa) - compositore francese, appartenente alla celebre Scuola di Notre-Dame a Parigi.
Il musicologo inglese, noto solo come “Anonimo IV” (probabilmente uno studente inglese che lavorava presso Notre-Dame a partire dal 1270), menziona i compositori Pérotin e Léonin all’interno di un suo trattato musicale, assegnando quindi un nome ai maggiori esponenti della Scuola di Notre-Dame che sarebbero stati altrimenti anonimi. Pertanto Léonin e Pérotin sono tra i compositori più antichi di cui sia conosciuto il nome.
Nonostante essi siano morti solo cinquant'anni prima che Anonimo IV scrivesse il suo trattato, egli li descrive come eminenti teorici e parte della tradizione della musica. Assieme ai lavori di Giovanni di Garlandia e Francone da Colonia, il trattato di Anonimo IV, è la principale fonte per capire la polifonia della Scuola di Notre-Dame.
Una delle opere musicali attribuite a Pérotin è il “Viderunt Omnes” a quattro voci.
Fu eseguito per la prima volta nella cattedrale di Notre-Dame a Parigi il giorno di Natale del 1198 e questa è la prima data certa di tutta la storia della musica.
Latin
Vīdērunt omnēs fīnēs terræ
salūtāre Deī nostrī.
Jubilāte Deō, omnis terra.
Notum fēcit Dominus salūtāre suum;
ante conspectum gentium
revelāvit justitiam suam.
English
All the ends of the earth have seen
the prosperity of our God.
Rejoice in the Lord, all lands.
The Lord has made known his prosperity;
in the sight of the nations
he has revealed his righteousness.

there are like some recordings that I think are just so tremendous that genre and taste don’t really come into it when I recommend them, I’m pretty confident they’ll blow people away regardless. Stolen Moments is one of them, the ECM Hilliard Ensemble recording of Perotin’s viderunt omnes (I have no idea why they split that beautiful recording into two tracks, please find it somewhere else) is another, I could maybe go on. These things are amazing and exist (maybe Mingus’ ‘the fisherman’s wife’ is another…)

Rules: Tag 9 people you’d like to get to know better!

Thanks for tagging me! 🥹
Last song: “Viderunt Omnes” by Perotin… mainly to prepare for my music history class but also because that piece is so good! (Also, my students would cringe so hard if they knew their music history prof was on tumblr everyday yelling about danmei and video game characters 😅🤣)
Currently watching: Recently introduced my husband to DBZ for the first time and we’ve been watching it sporadically. Currently in the middle of the Frieza saga!
Currently reading: Okay. So I’m currently reading book two of Erha/Husky and his White Cat Shizun and… that shit is insane! The “romance” is not doing it for me at all, but I am so here for the DRAMA! And I love Chu Wanning……. but WHY does he have to be pining for his underage student who also apparently becomes an irredeemable menace later on??? 😩 Sigh… but like I said at least the drama’s good! Very interested to see how things unfold 😈
I’ve also been reading Babel by R. F. Kuang, and it is amazing! The way the magic works is so cool, and as someone who deals a lot with translating texts, the commentary on language and translation is really neat! If I was a literature/linguistics professor, I’d definitely make this an assigned reading!
Current obsession: MDZS and Wangxian are still fully occupying my brain and probably will be for the foreseeable future. HOWEVER! I just started playing Baldur’s Gate 3, and if I had more time to play it, that’s all I’d be doing!

Oof im so annoying but someone commented on the Perotinus Viderunt Omnes youtube video that it was 'gregorian chant'..and i just couldnt let that go 😔 I replied just to say that it was organum, not gregorian chant. Im sorry.
#gregorian chant is MONOPHONIC. i mean i get that theyre both medieval sacred vocal music#BUT! its completely different#perotinus was not out herr writing 3 and 4 part polyphony for you to call it gregorian chant#oof anyway.

this is why viderunt omnes gets stuck in my head. bc the melody of the upbeat sections of homage to perotin is based on the “vi-hi-hi-hi” part of viderunt omnes
i had to learn bongos for very small parts of this song and i rarely got the chance to play them again in college and now all i want is my own set of bongos

“Viderunt Omnes” by Leonin
“Viderunt Omnes” by Leonin
Viderunt Omnes is an old Georgian chant based on a biblical Psalm XCVII. It is sung as a gradual, which is a liturgical celebration of the Eucharist, mostly in the Catholic religion. The hymn is usually performed at the masses on such catholic and Christian holidays as Christmas and, historically, on the Feast of the Circumcision. Viderunt Omnes has been musically interpreted by multiple…

Kalendae Aprilis | April 1st
You, Roman mothers and brides, worship the goddess properly, and you, too, who no longer wear the long pieces of the fillet of Vesta. Remove the golden ornaments from her marble neck! Remove her riches: the goddess must be washed all over. Return the golden jewelry to her dry neck! Now variated floral garlands, now young roses must be presented to her. She herself entreats you, too, to bathe beneath the blooming myrtle. And the reason she might desire that (Teach me!) is behind certain events which happened by the sea-shore: naked, she was drying her dripping hair. Satyrs, a shameless crowd, saw the goddess. She heard them, and covered her own body with myrtle, with the stuff opposite her. Having been watched in this act she desires you, too, to conceal yourselves.
Now riddle me this, why might you devote incense to Bold Fortune there, in that place which is damp with warm and steamy water? That place admits all, with their clothes removed and set aside, and it sees every flaw on the naked body; Bold Fortune provides the steam so that He might hide by it, and might also conceal the women. And by this little bit of incense He creates what was asked for. Nor would He dislike to take up a bruised poppy with white milk, and honey strained from a crushed honeycomb. When Venus is first led to her eager husband, she drinks this; from then on she is a wife. Soothe her with humble words! Beneath her beauty remains both her character and good reputation.
Rome with the modesty of her ancestors, falters in Her circumstances: you, the ancients, consult the old Cumean woman. She orders a temple of Venus be constructed. By those actions, by her order, Venus held the title ‘Mind-Changer’ from that point on. Always consider Romans with a gentle expression, Most Glorious Goddess, to protect your many brides.
While I speak, the Scorpion, most-feared on account of the stinger high on his tail, falls into green waters.

Rite deam colitis Latiae matresque nurusque
et vos, quis vittae longaque vestis abest.
aurea marmoreo redimicula demite collo,
demite divitias: tota lavanda dea est.
aurea siccato redimicula reddite collo:
nunc alii flores, nunc nova danda rosa est.
vos quoque sub viridi myrto iubet ipsa lavari:
causaque, cur iubeat (discite!), certa subest
litore siccabat rorantes nuda capillos:
viderunt satyri, turba proterva, deam.
sensit et opposita texit sua corpora myrto:
tuta fuit facto vosque referre iubet.
discite nunc, quare Fortunae tura Virili
detis eo, calida qui locus umet aqua.
accipit ille locus posito velamine cunctas
et vitium nudi corporis omne videt;
ut tegat hoc celetque viros, Fortuna Virilis
praestat et hoc parvo ture rogata facit,
nec pigeat tritum niveo cum lacte papaver
sumere et expressis mella liquata favis;
cum primum cupido Venus est deducta marito,
hoc bibit: ex illo tempore nupta fuit.
supplicibus verbis illam placate: sub illa
et forma et mores et bona fama manet.
Roma pudicitia proavorum tempore lapsa est:
Cymaeam, veteres, consuluistis anum.
templa iubet fieri Veneri, quibus ordine factis
inde Venus verso nomina corde tenet.
semper ad Aeneadas placido, pulcherrima, voltu
respice totque tuas, diva, tuere nurus.
dum loquor, elatae metuendus acumine caudae
Scorpios in viridis praecipitatur aquas.

Graduale: Viderunt omnes, medieval chant of the Gradual of Eleanor of Brittany
"Viderunt Omnes" is a traditional Gregorian chant of the 11th century. The work is based on an ancient gradual of the same title. The chant was subsequently expanded upon by composers of the Notre Dame school who developed it as type of early polyphony known as organum. Thought to be written for Christmas, the polyphonic settings would have retained the same liturgical purpose as the original gradual, while being musically enhanced for the festivities. The cantus firmus, or tenor, "holds" the original chant, while the other parts develop complex melismas on the vowels. The various settings of Viderunt Omnes provide context for specific trends in medieval music.
