La Bomba - Matea Flecha "El Viejo" (1481-1553)

This Merrie Companie, performed at the Medieval Festival at Immaculate Conception Church at Cook's Creek, Manitoba, on July 24, 2010. Click on cc for translation.
We start on a stormy sea, and the call for the pump, (La Bomba). Probably sung at a ducal palace for a Chirstmas Pangent, this Spanish ensalada mixes tempo, secular and sacred themes in this allegory for the ship of life. We had a lot of fun learning and performing it, we hope you enjoy it too.
