Our new piece for the evening was Tant con je vivrai, a virelai by 13th composer Adam de la Halle.
It will take a few weeks to come together, but the harmonies are sounding lovely already - this is a piece that really needs good 5ths.
When we weren't working on Tant con je vivrai, we continued our efforts to memorise much of the Red Book of Montserrat.
- Tant con je vivrai
- Polorum regina (now firmly memorised)
- Stella Splendens (well on the way to memorised)
- Ad mortem festinamus (chorus and first verse memorised, next few verses coming)
- O virgo splendens (first six phrases)
