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 - 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?

Il y a 50 ans j'écoutais déjà ce chef d'oeuvre.... Merci a KZbin de permettre a des artistes talentueux comme vous de se faire entendre.

[@helenasolares]

apart from the King's Singers version (sorry, I'm biased when it comes to them), this is one of the best versions there are of this madrigal here in KZbin . Congratulations!

I love this song, and I heard many versions. This is the best one;) Greetings from Poland:)

[@Shougizgiz]

c maginfique!!!!!! merci de nous le faire partager

[@johngallacher1967]

this version is the best, with the kings singers second

[@PerPassione]

Well, this is one of our regular encores and we therefore prefer the entire group to be represented including both sopranos, and as this is how we usually perform this piece we chose to record it that way. The reason we aren't looking up too much is that this is a recording session with no audience other than the sound technician. The video was sort of a by-product to the recording. Thank you for your comment :)

Lovely performance! By the way, we stole your idea of repeating the last section, hope you don't mind ;-) Greetings from Italy!

[@jeanmarc2B]

"ne me bat aussi" (faire la liaison): bat-aussi (bataussi)

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,

[@violetmcwhirk6475]

For me the vowels were too spread. If you don't speak french it's fine but it sounds empty of the energy the language possesses. As well as they made no eye contact. And why are there two sopranos...? The alto got drowned out. I love the satb voice spread better than when the king singers do it, but they're way more engaged with the audience. But it's really good
