That was very nice, beautiful, clean and without pretension. I'm glad you
took the time to put this together.

To All:
After spending insane hours dedicated to house-building in a mad
attempt to beat the snow and frozen ground, and the usual spate of
December gigs, we took the time to make a new video.

This is a performance of Mignonne allons voir si la rose from the
poetry of Pierre Ronsard, also recorded on our CD Divine Amarillis.
The original is found only as a single melody line in Jehan
Chardavoine's _Recueil de chansons en forme de voix de ville_ (1576).
The engaging melody has often been performed with a drone, unison
doubling or simple arpeggio accompaniment. In searching for a more
interesting mode of performance, we looked to contemporary settings of
Ronsard's poetry, and in particular, settings by Adrian Le Roy.
We discovered that the tune works with only minor adjustments to Le
Roy's Passemeze harmonization and, since LeRoy set several other poems
by Ronsard in a similar manner, we feel our setting is historically
justifiable.
Happy Christmas to all.
Ron & Donna
