[…] of “Dame excellent” (Excellent lady), a New Year’s greeting by the late 14th-century composer Baude Cordier, may have suggested its greater rhythmic complexity: in many measures, duple and triple rhythms were performed simultaneously. Johannes Tinctoris, ca.1430–35-?1511), an influential writer on music as well as an accomplished composer, singer and instrumentalist, provided another vehicle for Laura Jeppesen’s virtuosity by adding a top part to the tenor of a famous song by an older composer, Hayne van Ghizeghem, A sweetly melodious rondeau by Gilles Binchois (ca. 1400-1460) was followed by a rollicking New Year’s song, also in rondeau form, by his contemporary Guillaume Dufay. The dance-like character of “Ce jour de l’an” (On this New Year’s Day) was underscored by its four-square regular phrases (avoided in motets and in most courtly song). Opening with a fanfare motive outlining a major triad in imitation by all three parts, Pamela Dellal, Jason McStoots, and […]

Here the work was freer in style, texts in the vulgate (here, old French), more popular in form. Wishes for a good day and a good year joined with praise of the beloved and longings to see and be with her (Grenon, Cordier, van Ghizeghem, Du Fay). Interspersed were some instrumental pieces: out came vielle, rebec, lute, and harp to join the otherwise a cappella voices. Here, too, some singers appeared in solo numbers. I was intrigued by Cordier’s “Belle, bonne, sage, plaisant et gente” sung magnificently (of course) by Martin Near: a New Year’s song of joy and of love, it is also a sort of moral blazon cataloging the beloved’s qualities.
