5.0 out of 5 starsPicked it up for the name, stayed for the sound
By J. Angus Macdonald on April 26, 2002
Format: Audio CD
I love early music. I also loved the line from Bill (...or was it Ted...?), "Whoa, medieval babes!" Based on that, I had to listen to this album.
On the one hand, this is a technically highly proficient group of singers. On the other hand, they are the only people I have EVER run across who can make Latin sound sexy (think about it -- it had to be sexy to someone or else where did all those little Romans come from?).
Most of the work here is a capella, with a smattering of instruments in some of the peices to sort of "move it along". The importance here is the human voice in its glory. Fresher and less "academic" than Anonymous 4 (who are marvelous, don't get me wrong), you get the feeling that this is a group of ladies from, say, the 14th century having a sing-along who all just happen to be multi-lingual (Middle English, Old French, Latin).
There are many things I could say positively about this music, but the best way to judge it is to LISTEN to it. Try the sound clips. Better yet, get the album. Get some headphones. Light a couple candles. Pour yourself a nice glass of wine. Then fall into a dozen magnificent voices singing tales of beauty, sorrow, fear, and love.
Whoa, Mediaeval Baebes...

5.0 out of 5 starsBlysse-ful Baebes
By jessicaelizabeth on April 7, 2001
Format: Audio CD
A longtime Loreena McKennitt fan, I got hooked on the Medieval Baebes halfway through the first song, "Kinderly" -- and that's not even the best song on Worldes Blysse, an honor I'd reserve for "Erthe Upon Erthe", "All Turns to Yesterday," or "Pearl." This album is wonderful.
The thing which astonished me most about it was the congruence between the middle English lyrics and the original melodies to which they are set. Most of the songs on this album are not really medieval compositions, but they partake richly of that tradition. The Baebes keep things simple, letting their choral arrangements and personalities shine. One of the most stunning pieces, "Pearl", combines original music with an excerpt from a long poem (required reading in many medieval lit classes). These lyrics were never meant to be sung. Yet in the Baebes' hands, it sounds seamless and right, complex and energetic, equally appropriate for a Renaissance Faire, a choral concert, or a morning jog.
If you like your medieval music strictly authentic, the Mediaeval Baebes aren't for you. But I'm thrilled that a skilled vocal group is mining the rich, underappreciated lode of middle English poetry and creating something beautiful and relevant out of it. Bravo, Baebes.

5.0 out of 5 starsMore than Madrigal
By B. Ketelaar on July 14, 2001
Format: Audio CD
If you're like me and simply heard a small sampling of one of the Mediaeval Baebes' unearthly choral masterpieces ('Love Me Broughte')and found yourself riveted and shivering with awe, no need to fear buyer's remose for picking up this CD without hearing another note. That's what I did and have had no regrets. Unlike some "New Age" interpretations of medieval music which can be kitschy and artist-indulgent, leaving the listener cold, this women's chorus has a spirit that weaves itself into your conscious. It will change your breath and your pulse to a slower pace of another day, before high technology. On a simpler note, it can make one dream of knights and queens and courtly love. But after a few listenings and paying closer attention to the Middle English innuendo and translations, one experiences not only the tickling joy of a summer festival dance, but also the heavy despair of the days of darkness: of plague, of short lives and long winters, of the average peasant's hard life and yearning for release into a true heaven. It may help to have an interest in things medieval, but the pure beauty and skill of this group of women's voices transcends a simple genre. And while these songs may not be completely faithful to the medieval rendering of music, the spirit is true, and for me that is all that matters. This is one of the best musical purchases I have ever made.It's worth every point of each of the five stars.

5.0 out of 5 starsIf there were gypsies, fairies, and nymphs...
By A Customer on October 8, 1999
Format: Audio CD
If there were gypsies, fairies,and nymphs in the days of old, Medieval Baebes were those spritely spirits who enchanted mortal man with lust and desire. I bought "Salva Nos" while vacationing in Okinawa, Japan almost two years ago and have been mystified by their talent and beauty ever since. Being in the front row of their live performance at Lillith Fair was even more magical! (My only regret being that they were on a minor stage and not on the MAIN STAGE where they should have been! And I'm sure you hundreds of Lillith Fair fans who were gawking behind me and who were trampled by the stampede of those rushing the stage will agree with me. Sorry, my dear sweet husband, but I told you to stand up front with me and hold on to the railing for dear life!) Masters of baroque, chamber, choir, choral, and many other genres of classical music, these twelve goddesses not only possess vocal fluidity in French, Latin, and Gaelic, but also combine haunting melodies and harmonies in the midst of whispers and shouts. I was enthralled by them at Lillith Fair and am a devoted fan who hopes to see these women rise to the acclaim and accolades they deserve. And I am proud to say that I was one of the first mortals to discover their power. And I have the photographs to prove it!
