"Entre Le Boeuf Et L'Ane Gris" on 10 Theremins (MediEval Melody Style) ;-)

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND HEALTHY 2012 !!!

Tools of Trade:
9 Moog Etherwave Plus theremin parties (the chorus and 1 for the solo)
1 Jaycar theremin party (the melody part in the beginning, the breaks and the ending)
Cool Edit Pro 2.0
;-)

Building theremin chorus stuff actually IS difficult, ESPECIALLY when you notice that I can't play that much live anymore overhere since little Dennis (my neighbor's son) has born only a month ago and his mom also need some rest now and than ;-)

This song is a very ancient (MediEval) French Christmas carol which describes the Nativity scene and I edited this video in this way, that you actually don't need to understand French at all to understand what's all about ;-) Here are the lyrics ...

Entre le boeuf et l'ane gris,
Dort, dort, dort le petit fils,
Mille anges divins, mille séraphins,
Volent alentour de ce grand Dieu d'amour.

Entre les roses et les lis,
Dort, dort, dort le petit fils,
Mille anges divins, mille séraphins,
Volent alentour de ce grand dieu d'amour.

Entre les pastoureaux jolis,
Dort, dort, dort le petit fils,
Mille anges divins, mille séraphins
Volent alentour de ce grand dieu d'amour

Entre les deux bras de Marie
Dort, dort, dort le petit fils,
Mille anges divins, mille séraphins,
Volent alentour de ce grand Dieu d'amour.

Now the English translation ;-)

Between the ox and the grey donkey
Sleeps, sleeps, sleeps the little son,
A thousand divine angels,
A thousand seraphim
Fly around the God of love.

Between the roses and lilies,
Sleeps, sleeps, sleeps the little son,
A thousand divine angels...
A thousand seraphim
Fly around the God of love.

Between the joyful shepherds
Sleeps, sleeps, sleeps the little son,
A thousand divine angels...
A thousand seraphim
Fly around the God of love.

In Mary's arms
Sleeps, sleeps, sleeps the little son,
A thousand divine angels...
A thousand seraphim
Fly around the God of love.

Actually, this version I did is the more ancient version, there's also another version which is a bit more "modern" (Renaissance) ;-) I did this one some while ago too, you can listen to it on SoundCloud: http://soundcloud.com/yeapsystar/entre-le-boeuf-et-lane-gris-vocal-edit

NOTE: Don't mind the bad sound quality of the microphone LOL!

Wow! You've really done a great job this year.

[yeapsystar]

@Chargal4 Thank you! ;-) It's quite difficult to make some theremin choir and it takes quite some time to do, but I still love it! Although I think I still have to go some while before it will even sound better, but I think I will through the time as the best thing for me is to move first off to some better environment than where we live in right now .. Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2012 to you too BTW!
