At this time of year we are usually gearing up for the start of a new live season but at the moment we aren't able to enjoy spending as much time with each other as usual. However, a few weeks ago we did manage to get together and record a few pieces for you. • Our first piece is the four-part chanson Mille regretz by Josquin des Prez. The sombre atmosphere this piece creates seems fitting for this difficult time and the poignant text serves as a note to bid adieu to times past. • Original Text: • Mille regretz de vous abandonner • Et d'eslonger vostre fache amoureuse, • Jay si grand dueil et paine douloureuse, • Quon me verra brief mes jours definer. • English Translation: • A thousand regrets for abandoning you • And leaving behind your loving face, • I have such great sorrow and pain, • That soon my days will be seen to be numbered. • . • . • . • We are entering our 60th Anniversary Season in a completely different world from when we entered our 1st season. As for many, this has been a difficult time for us and if you can help support us in anyway we would be very grateful.
