Lament for Constantinople - Renaissance Hymn by Guillaume Dufay

This video is in remembrance of the Fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453. It is remembered with great sorrow. The other purpose of this video is to showcase the touching hymn of Guillaume Du-fay, the Lamentatio sanctae matris ecclesiae Constantinopolitanae, which is the Lament of the Holy Mother Church of Constantinople. It is modified from a part of the Book of Lamentations on the fall of Jerusalem. I included several images with the music. The song's lyrics and translation are below: O tres piteulx de tout espoir fontaine, Pere du filz dont suis mere esplorée, Plaindre me viens a ta court souveraine, De ta puissance et de nature humaine, Qui ont souffert telle durté villaine Faire à mon filz, qui tant m'a hounourée. Dont suis de bien et de joye separée, Sans qui vivant veule entendre mes plaints. A toy, seul Dieu, du forfait me complains, Du gref tourment et douloureulx oultrage, Que voy souffrir au plus bel des humains. S
