Pierre Passereau - Il est bel et bon

The famous chanson 'Il est bel et bon' by Pierre Passereau (d. 1547) about two women from the country bragging about their husbands.

Ensemble: Per Passione - http://www.perpassione.dk
recorded at St. Pauls Church, Aarhus, Denmark.

Text:
Il est bel est bon, bon, bon, commère, mon mari,
Il ètait deux femmes toutes d'un pays,
Disant l'une à l'autre avez bon mari?
Il ne me courrouce ne me bat aussi.
Il fait le ménage, il donne aux poulailles,
Et je prends mes plaisirs.
Commère c'est pour rire
Quand les poulailles crient:
Co, co, co, co, de, petite coquette, qu'est ceci?

Is it one or two tones higher? why?

@mouthmouse

Three semitones higher. Because it suited us better.

Great interpretation!

Best I've heard on youtube besides the king singers!

Nice job, good tempo, great blend of clear clean voices. You could take your performance up several notches by getting your heads out of the books and looking at each other. Five people singing together don't really need a conductor,
