Name: Miri It Is
Duration: P00H02M10S
Description: Supposedly the earliest known example of "English" secular vocal music, this song has always been a firm favourite so it was only natural that I wanted to reinvite it as my own. My a capella arrangement is inspired by the all male voice rendition of the Dufay Collective recorded in 1994 on the Chandos label.

lyrics

Miri it is while sumer ilast (Merry it is whilst summer lasts)
with fugheles song. (with birds in song)
Hoc nu necheth windes blast (But now there threaten windy blasts)
and weder is strong. (And tempests strong)
Ei, ei! What this nicht is long (Ah, but the night is long)
and ich with wel michel wrong (And I, being done such wrong)
soregh and murene and fast. (Sorrow and mourn and fast).
