Now playing - smoky speculation
Fumeux fume par fumee,
Fumeuse speculacion.
Qu'autre fummet sa pensee,
Fumeux fume par fumee.
Quar fumer molt li agree
Tant qu'il ait son entencion.
Fumeux fume par fumee,
Fumeuse speculacion.
Solage (fl. 1380s)
This wonderful setting for very low voices, sung on this favourite CD of mine by Alla Francesca, seems (judging by the notes to the CD) to be a fourteenth-century equivalent of Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience, referring to a Parisian literary group, the Fumeux.
And for something totally non-smoky, a photo from my journey home tonight.

If you try and find a way to upload in your blog all of the music of which you talk about in your posts then that would be a nice resolution!
Please, please, pretty please?
Well, I have used castpost in the past, but there's something to be said for leaving it to the imagination. Anyway, I'll play them to visitors to my flat, on request.
