BUT FIRST .....
I am going to guide four amateur singers in the next Arbonne-weekend in extraordinary repertoire: Anacreontic Odes by a certain Richard Renvoisy (1520-1586)
This canon of Sainte-Chapelle du Roi in Dijon and "master of children", wrote Quelques odes d'Anacreon mises en musique in 1559 (reprint in 1573) Singing these odes in our 'woke'-times a delicate thing to do because his "too free association with his young students made him fall into a crime".
He was subsequently burned at the stake on the 6th of March 1586.
Thanks to Paul Van Nevel we are able to sing the Odes, on texts probably by Renvoisy himself. Paul genereously shared his transcription with me.
Thanks amigo!
