Beautiful Music in Difficult Times September 8

 

Once upon a time, many long years ago when I first started Sunday Baroque, I remember hearing a charming song that stuck in my mind: IL EST BEL ET BON by Pierre Passereau. It’s a secular chanson from the 16th century, and the text is a conversation between two women about their husbands. Vidita Kanniks gives a lilting performance of the song, from the Voices of Music 2020-2021 online series.
