Mille regretz, of Josquin Desprez (about 1450-1521) performed by Doulce Memoire - www.doulcememoire.nl -
in Haarlem, The Netherlands, conducted by Felix van den Hombergh, April 18th, 2009.


Mille regretz
Mille regretz de vous abandonner
Et d'eslonger vostre fache amoureuse,
Jay si grand dueil et paine douloureuse,
Quon me verra bref mes jours definer.

Duizend maal spijt
Duizend maal spijt van u verlaten te hebben
En van uw lieflijke gezicht te hebben verwijderd,
Ik heb zoveel berouw en smartelijke pijn,
Dat men mij weldra mijn dagen zal zien beëindigen

Yes, it was an encore at the end of the concert!

[IlGattonero13]

Given the mournful text, this is a little too robust and the tempo is too fast. It's also a little ragged around the edges. I've performed this piece and have heard many better interpretations.

[petersdotter1]

Lovely - mix, tempo, diction, balance. Was it an encore?  Some of the singers are clutching their music to their chest.
