Quen a Omagen Dm
STYE961 · Medieval · Joel Negus
1:59·50 bpm·Dm
Soundtrack, FolkDocumentary, Historical, Medieval

A very slow D minor processional built on live fiddle and hand percussion, played in an authentic medieval style with plainly modal melodic writing. The pace is close to a dirge, leaving long sustains between drum strikes, and it stays solemn rather than triumphant across its two minutes.

O Que Casa Gm
STYE961 · Medieval · Joel Negus
1:06·234 bpm·Gm
Soundtrack, FolkDocumentary, Historical, Medieval

The fastest and shortest cue here — a breakneck G minor dance driven by hammering frame-style percussion and sawing fiddle. Its one-minute length makes it a compact burst rather than a full arrangement, ideal for a chase or a raucous crowd cutaway.

Verceppe Dm
STYE961 · Medieval · Joel Negus
2:10·178 bpm·Dm
Soundtrack, FolkDocumentary, Historical, Medieval

An up-tempo D minor estampie-style dance with insistent percussion under lead fiddle, energetic but held in a minor mode so it reads as rough and earthy rather than joyful. Runs long enough to carry a full sequence with room to cut.

Olim in Harmonia Gm
STYE961 · Medieval · Joel Negus
1:37·60 bpm·Gm
Soundtrack, FolkDocumentary, Historical, Medieval

A slow, harmonically simple G minor piece for fiddle and sparse percussion, its title pointing to consonance and old-world calm. Sustained bowed lines and wide space between accents make it a reflective, narration-friendly bed.

Quantas Sabedes Am
STYE961 · Medieval · Joel Negus
2:31·64 bpm·Am
Soundtrack, FolkDocumentary, Historical, Medieval

The most delicately textured cue on the record, adding plucked lute and rainstick to fiddle and light percussion at a slow A minor pulse. Two and a half minutes of intimate, courtly gentleness that stays contemplative throughout.

Lai de Bailemos Gm
STYE961 · Medieval · Joel Negus
2:21·184 bpm·Gm
Soundtrack, FolkDocumentary, Historical, Medieval

A driving G minor lai in dance tempo, with percussion and fiddle locked into a fast repeating figure suited to circle dancing. Its length allows a proper build across repeated strains before it lands.

Isabella Gm
STYE961 · Medieval · Joel Negus
3:54·87 bpm·Gm
Soundtrack, FolkDocumentary, Historical, Medieval

The longest piece here, a mid-slow G minor ballad named for a woman, giving the fiddle room to carry an extended melodic narrative over restrained percussion. Nearly four minutes of steady, wistful storytelling that can underscore a whole scene without editing.

O Maria Deu Maire Gm
STYE961 · Medieval · Joel Negus
2:34·136 bpm·Gm
Soundtrack, FolkDocumentary, Historical, Medieval

A moderately brisk G minor devotional cue distinguished by bells alongside fiddle and strings rather than drums, giving a chiming, sacred colour. The Marian title supports church and pilgrimage imagery; it moves with purpose but without percussive weight.

Pagar Ben Pod o Dm
STYE961 · Medieval · Joel Negus
2:50·94 bpm·Dm
Soundtrack, FolkDocumentary, Historical, Medieval

A walking-pace D minor piece with steady percussion under fiddle, sitting between the album's slow devotionals and its fast dances. Its measured tread and near-three-minute length make it a reliable neutral bed for movement across landscape or through a settlement.

Donna Pos Vos Dm
STYE961 · Medieval · Joel Negus
1:45·92 bpm·Dm
Soundtrack, FolkDocumentary, Historical, Medieval

A courtly D minor troubadour song setting with frame drum giving a clear hand-played pulse beneath fiddle and strings. At just under two minutes and a moderate tempo, it reads as an intimate address to a lady rather than a public dance.
