In 1976 the first German medieval rockband OUGENWEIDE recorded "Totus Floreo" on their 4th album called Eulenspiegel. You can find it here The say it dates back to 1300 like most of Carmina Burana. Even today a lot of medieval bands play their interpretation of this song in their shows. The one you recorded sounds very different to all the others I have ever heard. It has a certain arabian touch in it that makes it strange to listen to it when you know it in a different way for more than 3o years. But why not play it this way, who knows how it had sounded 700 years ago. Thanks for sharing it with us all the best menzze
