I would love to see someone post "So Ys Emprented", by Walter Frye. Please! If these artists here perform that song, I would love that version, they are outstanding.

Thanks for your very kind words. We are pleased to know someone hears and appreciates our attention to the rhythmic nuance in this music.

It happens that you may get your wish, since 'So ys emprented' is planned for our next CD, which we hope to begin recording in November.

One of the finest voices, in interpreting late medieval/early Renaissance music i have ever heard. Exquisite purity of tone, expression....amazing

The first words seem flemish to me, cfr " Myn Hert altyd heeft verlangen" so it could be a flemish copiist?

Very nice song and well performed too!

Hello Greet:

Thanks for your kind words and for your astute observation. Nothing is known about the copyist of the Mellon Chansonnier, which was probably Burgundian in origin. There are a number of Franco-Flemish chansons in the manuscript, but the text of the few English pieces do seem to have a Flemish flavor.

Very nice song, beautiful singing and playing, thanks a lot for this.
