Wonderful! Such poignant humour!

Wonderful! A strikingly original poem set to strikingly original music!😅

I know it's early but Io Saturnalia! Ave Saturnus!

Still beautiful in 2024.

The horse weeps, hooves clumsily dragging the broken eggshell pieces towards the injured boy. He weeps, for he is unable to save the child's life. "Why, lord?" he cries out with Bahamian hollering. He doesn't understand why the king put him in a situation where he was of no use. He was forced to witness death. You know, writing this, I realized that maybe the horses were there to carry him to safety once the men would put him back together. Am I stupid

The chromatic and multi-metric wandering in the "without guidance or control" guitar-solo are great tone-painting. 👍

Well done, all.

Lovely sound, well played, most enjoyable.

Lovely, David. Congrats to all.

This is the song of my middle school choir, it is so precious💖 Thank you🌹

What a cool piece!

beautifully played

Shout out to magister Clark!!!!!!!

sounds similar to 17th c Spanish organ

O m g. I've just thought about and commented on your flute quartet, how lovely this would sound for clarinet or woodwind quartet. And here it is

Oh, what a great piece. I'd love to hear it for clarinet quartet. Must be a delight to play.

I enjoyed this. Have you ever thought of writing movie soundtracks? Also, I loved the visuals, particularly the animated couples from the late Victorian, or early 20th century,

I'm currently writing a story with two characters, one I associate with a classical guitar and the other I associate with the English horn. This album is really helping me imagine their dynamic together.

Super schön, lieber David! Viele Grüße!

Very nice! Sounds a bit dudukish.

Again, my friend: it's very good!

Aucassin was put into prison, as you have seen and heard, and Nicolete, for her part, was in the chamber. It was summertime, in the month of May, when the days are warm and long and clear, and the nights soft and serene. One night Nicolete lay in bed, and saw the bright moon shine in the window, and heard the nightingale sing in the garden, and she thought of Aucassin, her friend whom she loved so much. Then she thought of the Count Garin de Biaucaire, who hated her to death. Right then she decided to stay no longer, and escape whatever evil death awaited her. Nicolete saw that the old woman who was with her was asleep. So she rose and draped herself in silk that became her so well; then she took bedsheets and towels, and tied one to another, and wove a rope as long as she was able, and knotted it to a pillar of the window, and lowered herself down into the garden. There she took her dress in hand in front and behind and raised it up from the dew she saw sparkling on the grass, and she went through the garden. Aucassins fu mis en prison, si come vos avés oï et entendu, et nicolete fu d'autre part en le canbre. Ce fu el tans d'esté, el mois de mai que li jor sont caut, lonc et cler, et les nuis coies et series. nicolete jut une nuit en son lit, si vit la lune luire cler par une fenestre et si oï le lorseilnol center en garding, se li sovint d'aucassin sen ami qu'ele tant amoit. Ele se comença a porpenser del conte garin de biaucaire qui de mort le haoit; si se pensa qu'ele ne remanroit plus ilec, que, s'ele estoit acusee et le quens Garins le savoit, il le feroit de male mort morir. Ele senti que li vielle dormoit qui aveuc li estoit; ele se leva, si vesti un bliaut de drap de soie que ele avoit molt bon, si prist dras de lit et touailes, si noua l'un a l'autre, si fist une corde si longe conme el pot, si le noua au piler de le fenestre; si s'avela contreval le gardin, et prist se vesture a l'une main devant et a l'autre deriere, si s'escorça por le rousee qu'ele vit grande sor l'erbe, si s'en ala aval le gardin.

👋 🙏

Another beautiful one!

Sounds great!

Burt Kwok, ladies and gentlemen!

Blimey, sang this about 23 years ago in a school hall! I loved this song ❤

I love this as much as the original...songs is more than 110 years old(!) and still is pure awesome!

"Spooky-Cool," as my young students would say. 😶

Super schön, melancholisch wie der Herbst!

Nicely done, David. Very haunting. 👍

Csodálatos... Köszönöm!

my dad always sung this ,back in the 60s,

Du schreibst einfach perfekte Sätze! Leider komme ich viel zu wenig dazu, mir Deine Sachen alle anzuhören, aber ich schaue immer mal wieder gerne rein! Liebe Grüße! 🤗

Beautiful arrangement, so glad I found it.❤

Comforting

Best version is from the British WW2 movie THE WAY AHEAD or sometimes titled THE IMMORTAL BATTALION, Played on ukulele by JIMMY HANDLEY and lead singer STANLEY HOLLOWAY.!! Brilliant film and this song fits in very well to the atmosphere!

Merci

Great!

Very pretty 😊

Super schöne Musik und Kulisse! Du hast das einfach drauf mit den klassischen Sätzen. Wunderbar entspannend!

Ein musikalisches Gemälde. Ich liebe sowas. Viele Grüße! 🤗

Would you put this on spotify? I'd love to listen to it on there!

Excellent!

Fabulous version thanking you

Sehr hübsche Harmonien! Es trägt mich einfach weg, wunderbar!

Very beautiful and nostalgic! I like it! 🌻

This is amazing, dear David! 👋👋👋

Amazing music, as always! Very reliable voicing! 🌻

Aucassin, when he heard of his sweet-bodied love, was stirred at heart; so he left the shepherds & rode his fighting horse into the deep forest & was lost to sight; & he spoke these three words : “Nicolete of the gracious heart, for you I came into the woods; I don’t follow tracks of deer but your heaven-blue eyes & gentle body, your fair laugh, your sweet breath. Not to be heartbroken to death may it please God I shall see you again, my sweet love!”
