Recorded live on Friday, May 16, 2014, at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Chamber Singers Ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Give us a palette to paint us as we are. Enough of black and white, yellow and red, Those false colors that sham at fact. Coffee chocolate, and cafe au lait Ivoried-saffron and saffroned-ivory, Bronze and brass, copper and rose gold, Tea and pale butter, golden almond, Infinite varieties of browns and tans, Pale rose, pink, and soft rose cream, Mahogany, oak, cedar, and champagne. These are the colors of people I see, Not black and white, not yellow and red. Those false colors no longer will do. Give us a palette to paint us true.  less

They have been featured on BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’ and ‘The Early Music Show.’ The members of the 1607 Ensemble hail from Britain, Canada, and the US, and their diverse musical backgrounds and affinity for a variety of musical styles are evident in their music. Equally at home singing Renaissance music and jazz, they also write their own compositions and arrangements, often combining old and new styles in music tailored to their unique vocal colours. One of the Ensemble’s long-time interests has been the poetry of Clément Marot in 16th-century chanson. Drawn to the poet’s fantastically varied output, they have recently recorded settings of his psalm translations, prayers, courtly poetry, and vulgar comic verse for their first commercial recording, Amour et Foy: Songs of Love and Songs ...    less

Text (Clément Marot): Martin menoit son pourceau au marché, Avec Alix qui en la plaine grande Pria Martin de faire le péché De l'ung sur l'aultre, et Martin luy demande : "Et qui tiendroit nostre pourceau, friande ?" "Qui, dist Alix, bon remede il y a". Lors le pourceau à sa jambe lya. Et Martin juche qui lourdement engaine. Le porc eut peur et Alix s'escria : "Serre Martin, nostre pourceau m'entraine". Translation: Martin was taking his pig to market With Alice, who, as they crossed the plain, Invited Martin to sin with her, One on top of the other, and Martin asked, "But who will hold on to our pig, you saucy girl?" "Who indeed," said Alice, "I know what to do. Once she had tied the pig to her leg, And Martin was heavily grunting away, The pig took fright, and Alice cried out, "Hold on tight, Martin, our pig is dragging me away!"  less
