German band Corvus Corax recorded a version of this tune.

They play ancient and medieval vernacular music on largely self made authentic instruments. Their approach is that at the time, it was probably played by and for young people having a good time, rather than professors in music history, so their shows are loud and energetic.

That was very cool, right up my alley! Thanks for the link.

If you like that, check out Eluveitie's "Evocation" album.
