Bardcore / Medieval song covers

So I am loving Hildegard Von Blingin and Agal the Bard.

Hildegard has a nice singing voice and adapts the lyrics to fit the medieval context, which creates some interesting pieces.

Here's "Somebody I used to know":

Agal, doesn't do vocals often, and instead tries to reproduce modern music utilizing medieval instruments.:D

To be honest some songs work better than others since tempo is not affected, so part of it might not sounds like a typical old song even with the old instruments.

This is " Crazy Train"

Quote from Link

Not really medieval or bardcore. But it is Christopher Lee (Saruman, Count Dooku) singing Metal versions of Christmas songs when he was 91.

Certainly not what I was thinking I'd find in this s thread, HAHAHA!

Great find. I wouldn't mind listening to it next Christmas.

I've been listening to the channel Kaynil posted for a good little bit now. I am really digging that chill vibes, ye olde musik stylings.

Glad to hear it wasn't just me, haha!

Quote from _LS_

This one honestly works so dang well

Thanks for sharing that one, I like the little changes to the bridge, and how the lyrics don't really need as much alteration as other songs, haha.

Oh, I also think it interesting to bring this other video of her in which she is singing an actual piece from the 12th century.
I think it is quite interesting. I'll add below what she said about it in the description of her video.

Quote from Hildegard Von Blingin

Today marks the death of my patron Saint Hildegard Von Bingen, who left the world on the 17th of September in 1179. Given that we just hit a big landmark on this channel (700k! Thank you!), it seemed the perfect opportunity to pay homage to my namesake by singing an actual work of hers and drawing a little illumination. She was a prolific writer and extraordinarily talented woman, and a big part of my love for Early Music.
So today I give you some actual Medieval music! Stay tuned for more Bardcore in the coming weeks, since I have a song in the works.

Original Lyrics	Translation
O virtus Sapientiae, quae circuiens circuisti comprehendendo omnia in una via, quae habet vitam, tres alas habens, quarum una in altum volat, et altera de terra sudat, et tertia undique volat. Laus tibi sit, sicut te decet, O Sapientia.	O strength of Wisdom who, circling, circled, enclosing all in one lifegiving path, three wings you have: one soars to the heights, one distils its essence upon the earth, and the third is everywhere. Praise to you, as is fitting, O Wisdom
