On the heels of our recent unexpected award, we are writing to announce that Mignarda's new CD, Au pres de vous, is now available. The CD includes 33 chansons and lute solos, and is one second short of 71 minutes. Recorded in the warm and vibrant acoustic of an old country church, our latest release explores the important marriage of music, poetry and dance tunes of sixteenth century France. The recording includes chansons and psalm settings with music by composers inspired by the eloquent grace and the passionate artifice of poets including Marot and Ronsard. Featured are chansons by Sermisy, Janequin, Crecquillon, Lassus, and our favorite, Philip Van Wilder, among others. Notable among the several previously unrecorded chansons are three completely unique settings of 'Pour un plaisir', a forgotten 16th century hit. Lute solos include dances and preludes from the publications of Attaignant and Phalese, and ricercars and fantasias from Marco dal l'Aquila and il divino Francesco da Milano. Au pres de vous can be purchased now directly from the artists at [1]http://www.mignarda.com/cds/aupres/ using PayPal, or it will be available soon at [2]Amazon.com or CD Baby. MP3s will be available from iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, or your favorite download site. Some sample sound clips are up on our newly remodeled site, and more will appear when we figure out how.
