ellenkushnerHa! Found the source of the French song I was desperately trying to remember so I could dig it out to play on Hour of the Wolf this morning at 5:00 am (as mentioned in previous post). I knew it was Renaissance-ish, but could hear it in my head sung by a Brit folk group. ?? God bless YouTube, and those who sail on her: I went in looking for "Le Mois de Mai" and somehow found my way to it: Janequin's "Ce Mois de Mai" done by the wonderful Pyewackett on The Man in the Moon Drinks Claret. I thought I owned the album, but it must have belonged to WGBH. So I've just downloaded it from iTunes (thanks to the lovely gift certificate from S-- B--!).
I've pulled a nice stack from my giant CD drawers of all kinds of cool stuff to play that ties into our declared topics one way or another: Greek laments for Sofia (in the story) by Sophia Bilides and Finnish runesongs from Varttina, ditto . . . The Renbourne Group doing a terrific "Reynardine" (animal shapeshifter) . . . May Day/Morris from The Watersons & John Kirkpatrick . . . .
Dammit, I used to do this full-time. And, yeah, I guess I do kinda miss it.
