Francisco Mañalich - The soldiers song -Tobias Hume

Captaine Tobias Hume (1579-1645) : The soldiers song (Musicall Humors, 1605)
I sing the praise of honor'd wars,the glory of wel gotten skars,
the bravery of glittring shields, of lusty harts and famous fields:
For that is Musicke worth the eare of Jove,
a sight for kings and still the Soldiers love:
Look, for me thinks I seethe grace of chivalry,
the colours are displaid,the captaines bright araid:
See now the battels rang'd bullets now thick are chang'd:
Harke, harke, shootes and wounds abound.
The drums allarum sound:the captaines crye : za za za, za, za
The Trumpets sound tar ra ra ra ra ratar ra ra ra tar ra ra ra,
O this is musicke worth the eare of Jove,
a sight for kinges, and stil the Soldiers love.

Awesome singing & playing. Marching towards the next adventure

[@memomusica]

Great, also the pronunciation! This would go very well in a program with Kapspergers Battaglia for the Chitarrone and some other Battaigles, perhaps Jannequin?

[@bardflaaten3826]

Again, thank you. You must come to Norway. Bravissimo!

[@wj98983]

Very well done! I think putting your viol on the stand enabled you to sing to your best. A most excellent show!

[@mariaa.saturno9211]

I love your playing!!! may I ask what instrument you play? model, luthier?

[@edwardgivenscomposer]

good question. I think that's a "division viol" - sort of a small bass viol. I hope he gets back to you as I'd like to know as well. His playing is superb!
