I Still Remember
“Reflections of a love long gone, but never forgotten. We all reminisce and wonder what could have been, sometimes. Part of this melody was taken from a traditional Renaissance song called ‘Mon Ami’ – my friend…how fitting.”
“You can travel to the ends of the earth and all that you are searching for will be right at home, awaiting your return.”
Ruby’s Choir credited “live on Home Again” in the album liner notes. The members are listed as Michelle, Anita, John, Cathy, Ken, Robert, Mike, Trish, Scott, Sue, Carmine, Mary, and Pete.
Crowning of the King
“Mainly a Tielmann Sussato song – this is the celebration of majesty and pageantry. Representing a new hope and a new chance with a new royal leader.”
Trad by Tielman Susato
Merlijn:
Tielman Susato: La Mourisque (one of the 12 Dancereys). First published in 1551 La Mourisque – Susato Tielman Susato (c. 1510 – after 1570) was a Renaissance composer, instrumentalist and publisher of music in Antwerp. While Susato’s exact place of birth is unknown, some scholars believe that because of his name—Susato meaning de Soest, of the town of Soest — he may be from the town of that name in Westphalia, or the town of Soest in The Netherlands. Susato was also an accomplished composer. He wrote (and published) several books of masses and motets which are in the typical imitative polyphonic style of the time. He also wrote two books of chansons which were specifically designed to be sung by young, inexperienced singers: they are for only two or three voices. Most important of his publications in terms of distribution and influence were the Souterliedekens of Clemens non Papa, which were metrical psalm settings in Dutch, using the tunes of popular songs. They were hugely popular in the Netherlands in the 16th century. Susato also was a prolific composer of instrumental music, and much of it is still recorded and performed today. He produced one book of dance music in 1551, Het derde musyck boexken … alderhande danserye, composed of pieces in simple but artistic arrangement. Most of these pieces are dance forms (allemandes, galliards, and so forth).
“Bonfires illuminate the darkened hills. Silhouetted figures celebrate the coming of the night. There you stand with the Seven Sisters watching over you as you ponder, in awe, the mysteries of the world.”
Alfonso X del Castille. King of Spain around 1200 Cantiga 353 Also sung version of it. Here is Cantiga 353 (Quen a omagen da Virgen e de séu Fillo honrrar) from Cantigas de Santa Maria, a collection of 420 poems with musical notation dedicated to the virgin Mary during the reign of Alfonso X of Castile El Sabio (1221-1284). The story: Only surviving son of a wealthy man is sent to live in a monastery. He was fascinated by a statue of the Virgin and Child and brought it food every day. The statue spoke to him and said come eat with my father tomorrow (shades of Don Giovanni). That night the boy and the abbott came to the statue, fell ill, died and were taken to heaven. Might have been nice to have lived a full life first, but that’s medieval logic.
