Petite Camusette : Josquin

Petite Camusette - Josquin.
The Hilliard Ensemble's exquisitely sparkling, crystalline performance, shimmers like musical stained glass.
"Petite camusette, is a saucy ditty about Robin and Marion, who go into the woods to (ahem) fall asleep. The structure here is strikingly lucid: In the center of the 6-voice texture, a perfect canon between Alto 2 and Tenor, accompanied by two additional near-perfect canons between (respectively) upper voices and lower voices. The effect is spry and wry and delightful." (Sonoma State University Singers program notes May 2003
Petite camusette à la mort mavez mis,
Robin et Marion sen vont au bois joly,
Ils sen vont bras à bras, ils se sont endormis,
Petite camusette à la mort mavez mis.
Little snub-nose, youve put me to death,
Robin and Marion go off to the pretty woods,
They go off arm in arm, they go to sleep,
Little snub-nose, youve put me to death.

Josquin: The ORIGINAL master of counterpoint even before counterpoint was conceived of.

He is absolutely among the greatest of musical geniuses.

His compositions have surpassed time itself.

one minute of pure simplicity and beauty
