I used to translate songs into Latin for my Latin class as bonus, and this showed up in my recommendations, so now it's stuck in my head and I want people to do more songs like it.

I'd recommend the channel as well.

It has been some time since I posted the last song here. Seeing as we have such wonderful summer weather (at least in Germany), my choice is "Willekomen summerweter süeze" composed by the minnesänger Neidhart von Reuental and performed by Ensemble für frühe Musik Augsburg. This song, whose title can be translated as "Welcome sweet summer weather", tells of the happenings at a joyous public dance in 13th century Germany.

Classical music ahead!

My choice of the day this time is inspired by the worldwide racism debate. Thus I want to give one example of historical intercultural musical exchange. "Cumbées", composed by 17th/18th century Mexican Santiago de Murcia, is undeniably influenced by the music of the African slaves in colonial Spanish Mexico. Though undeniably an act of cultural appropriation I rather would like to believe in equal cultural exchange, though it was likely not improving the situation of the Africans in the New World. Though I don't believe that the lyrics ("El Cumbe... Paracumbe... Zarambe...") have any deeper meaning and were rather written to sound "African", I am not proficient in any of the West African languages the earfy Afro-Mexicans have spoken and thus cannot rule out the possibility that they are indeed (then likely corrupted) words with meaning. What I can tell you, however, is that "Cumbées" here is performed by The Harp Consort under Andrew Lawrence-King.

My choice today is "Mná na hÉireann", an Irish folk telling of a man who loves all women in Ireland. It is sung in Irish Gaelic by Kate Bush.

When Bach meets Brazil you get something far more Brazilian rather than Baroque. At least this is the case for the "Bachianas Brasileiras" composed by Bazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. Today I have chosen the "Tocata (Desafio)" from the "Bachianas Brasileiras No. 7", here performed by the Nashville Symphony Orchestra with Kenneth Schermerhorn as conductor.

Today I have chosen likely the most ancient music yet. In fact, the "zaluzi to the gods", also known as "Hurrian Hymn 6", belongs to some of the oldest notated music known. The Hurrians were a Syrian and Anatolian ethnicity of the second millennium BC, in other words of the Bronze Age in the Ancient Near East. Their music was preserved on clay tablets dating from about 1225 BC which were found in the Late Bronze Age trading hub of Ugarit where the Hurrians were one of the many ethnic minorities found within the city. This religious hymn in Hurrian language is performed by the Ensemble De Organographia.

Me again. I once already had posted Western Classical Music by Japanese composers, but seeing as it is such wonderful music and we are on a webside dedicated to Japanese popular culture, among others, I will do so again. My choice today is music Ifukube Akira, or Akira Ikufube as he is known in the West, namely the second part of his "Japanese Raphsody" from 1935, entitled "Fêtes" which is French for festivities and musically depicts - what else? - a typical Japanese festival. The piece is performed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra led by the conductor Numajiri Ryūsuke or Ryusuke Numajiri how he is referred to in the West.
