Coffee Talk with King Francois I

Episode 11 - Connecting with Others

Episode 11:
Bonjour! Welcome to Coffee Talk with King Francois Premiere, episode eleven. In this episode, I will be highlighting a number of Renaissance Festival Facebook groups. I do realize that not everyone is on Facebook. However, these groups do provide a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow Renaissance Festival folk from around the world all year long. You will also learn of a discovery I’ve made as well as hear a very happy memory with a twist ending.

Episode 10 - Festivals, Festivals, Festivals

Episode 10:
Bonjour! In this short episode, I will be highlighting the names and upcoming February and March dates for a number of Renaissance Festivals here in the US. Though passed, there were a few one and two weekend-only Ren Faires in January.
That said, let it be known that at least one Renaissance Festival occurs each weekend of the year. Or, almost every weekend. The one exception would be the weekend right before or after Christmas, depending on what day Christmas falls. That is when you would not be able to find a Renaissance Festival. Needless to say, if you are longing for that Ren Faire fix and are willing to travel many miles, well, you can take a step back in time every weekend if you so choose. As the year progresses, you can often find three or more Renaissance Festivals taking place each weekend, thus providing potential options closer to where you live.

Episode 9 - King Francois I Interviews Theodore Jander

Episode 9:
Bonjour! After a few weeks off, I am excited to bring to all returning and new listeners, episode nine, which is the first episode of 2023. Having completed and released several episodes, I thought I would take the opportunity to share some more in-depth thoughts about why I am doing this podcast and why call it, Coffee Talk with King Francois Premiere. However, to make things fun and interesting, I have chosen to present this episode as a conversation between King Francois Premiere and myself, Theodore Jander. Our chat follows the interview format utilized for upcoming episodes. Although, in this episode, his majesty will actually be the one leading the interview. All that said, enjoy this Coffee Talk with King Francois Premiere and guest, Theodore Jander.

Episode 8 - Holiday Renaissance Episode with music performed by the Greenleaf Singers

Episode 8:
Bonjour! Episode Eight brings you a special holiday Renaissance episode where we will discover the sounds of the Greenleaf Singers, an exciting St. Louis based vocal ensemble specializing in a cappella music of the Renaissance. The ensemble’s main performances each year are at the St. Louis Renaissance Festival, mid-September through early October, and the Eliot Chapel Renaissance Madrigal Theatre and Christmas Rout in Kirkwood, Missouri. In addition, the group presents a Christmas concert the second Friday in December as well as a spring performance.
Where to find more about the Greenleaf Singers:
Website - https://greenleafsingers.org/
Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/greenleafsingers/
Personent hodie by AnonymousWe began our musical journey with a piece Greenleaf performed as their processional during their Christmas 2022 performances, Personent hodie. The original tune comes from Piae Cantiones (meaning devotional songs), a 1582 collection of songs by Theodoricus Petrus of Nyland, Finland. The version the ensemble sang was arranged by Greenleaf’s new Artistic Director, Tristan Frampton. 
Fine Knacks for Ladies by John Dowland (1562-1626)John Dowland is considered one of the greatest song writers of Renaissance England. Dowland delighted audiences and nobility as a fine singer and accomplished lutenist, the Renaissance equivalent of the modern rock/pop star. He gained his greatest success and recognition as an English musician with his First Booke of Songes or Ayres of Fowre Partes. Dowland’s compositions were not only sung in the home but were performed for monarchs, as well.
Fine Knacks for Ladies, a witty, spirited madrigal was one such piece. It is divided into three main sections and made up of three verses. Dowland exquisitely merges music and text to show that love is found in the heart rather than in trinkets and toys, and that love will remain simple and true when it is rooted in the heart.
Following Fine Knacks for Ladies will be Dowland’s Come Again, Sweet Love, included in his First Booke of Songes or Ayres, published in 1597. Come Again, Sweet Love originated as a lute song, performed by vocal soloist and lute. But, like many of Dowland’s lute songs, this delightful, yet bitter-sweet love song was also scored for vocal ensemble, the version of which you will hear today.
El Grillo (The Cricket) by Josquin des Prez (1440-1521)Josquin des Prez was a very influential Catholic-Flemish composer of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance eras. Des Prez has been called the Master of Notes for his masterful composition technique and vast output of sacred and secular works. Josquin worked in Milan, Rome (under the Pope in the Papal chapel), and Paris.
Josquin’s El Grillo falls into the genre of a frottole, a comedic or humorous song scored for three to four voices in a homorhythmic or chordal style. According to some scholars, this piece was about a colleague of Josquin’s, singer Carlo Grillo, who’s last name translates as “cricket.”
El grillo e buon cantoreche tiene longo versoDale beve grillo cantaEl grillo e buon cantore
The cricket is a good singerWho sings for a long timeThe cricket sings just for funThe cricket is a good singer
Ma non fa come gli altri uccellicome li han cantato un poco
But unlike the birds who Fly off when they've sung a little 
Van' de fatto in altro loco, sempre el grillo sta pur saldoQuando la maggior el caldoalhor canta sole per amore.
The cricket just stays where he isWhen the weather is really hotHe sings only for love.
 
Fa Una Canzona by Orazio Vecchi (c.1550-1605)The second Italian selection, Fa Una Canzona, was penned by Orazio Vecchi, a late Renaissance Italian composer known mostly for his madrigal comedies. The light-hearted piece kindly translates itself into English in the second verse.
Il bianco e dolce cigno by Jacques Arcadelt (1504?-1568)We conclude our Italian trip with Il bianco e dolce cigno (The Sweet White Swan), composed by Jacques Arcadelt, a Franco-Flemish Renaissance composer. He is most well known for his madrigals. This particular madrigal is a setting of a highly emotional poem by Alfonso d’Avalos, describing the different fates of “blissful death” involving human and swan.
Il bianco e dolce cigno cantando more,ed io piangendo giungo al fin del viver mio.Strano e diversa sortech'ei more sconsolato,
The sweet white swan dies while singing,and I while weeping reach the end of my life.What a strange and different fate,for he dies comfortless,
Ed io moro beato.Morte, che nel morireM’empie di gioia tuto e di desire.Se nel morir altro dolor non sentodi mille morte il di sarei contento.
while I die a blissful death,a death whichfills me with joy and desire.If I feel no other pain than this in dying,I should be content to die a thousand deaths a day.
 
When Allen-a-Dale by Robert L. de Pearsall (1795-1856)Our final non-holiday selection, When Allen-a-Dale, comes from the English born composer, Robert L. de Pearsall who lived from 1795 to 1856. When Allen-a-Dale is an expressive tale of one of Robin Hood’s trusted compatriots. The text speaks of his father’s origins and travails. Then, the story moves into Allen-a-Dale’s calling as a minstrel. The melismas, dynamics, and articulations create a wonderful story quite befitting the Renaissance style.
This week’s special holiday episode concludes with two Christmas themed pieces. First is, Love Came Down at Christmas. The text is Christina Rosetti's poem of the same name. The piece itself utilizes a contrafactum, or an exchanging of one text for another, a common practice during the Renaissance. In the case of this particular selection, the music is that of O occhi manza mia, composed by Orlando di Lasso, who lived from 1532 to around 1594. Enjoy this recording from Greenleaf’s last rehearsal before their final Christmas 2022 performance.
lullay my liking by Theodore A. Jander (b.1972)Our final selection for this week’s holiday episode is lullay my liking, with the text coming from the Sloane Manuscript 2593, a collection of medieval lyrics. The music was composed by yours truly, me, eight years ago for the women of the Greenleaf Singers. They premiered the piece in December of 2014. You will hear a rehearsal performance recording from seven years ago of the women of the Greenleaf Singers. I hope you enjoy this Christmas musical offering!
