[SCA-BMDL] Bardic sing along!

[Kathryn Kane]

Thanks to everyone who helped out singing along last night!  For your further study and enjoyment:

'Bacche Bene Venies' is the name of the piece, it's also #200 in the Carmina Burana set of songs.  The music is available in the fabulous Medieval Songs and Dance Volume 1 (available at http://www.istanpitta.com/cds_books/).  My favorite recording so far is by Philip Picket and the New London Consort, in Sinners & Saints: The Ultimate Medieval and Renaissance Music Collection.  

The entire text of this version is available at http://www.lyrics74.com/PHILIP-PICKETT-AND-THE-NEW-LONDON-CONSORT-BACHE,-BENE-VENIES-LYRICS/483767/.

Some YouTube versions:

(this one is the spoken text, spoken in Classic Latin as opposed to the Church Latin pronunciation that we used last night, thanks to Robert for reminding me that I had forgotten to mention my choices in presenting this.)

(Karaoke version!)
There are more out there, I regret that I could not again locate the cute Canadian boys singing this in a bar.

The chorus that we learned:

Istud vinum, bonum vinum,
vinum generosum,
reddit virum curialem,
probum, animosum.

Any mistakes that I made are all my own, and not due to my fine sources.  I'll have all 13 verses down for Pennsic.

yours in service,
Kathryn
