This is a 16th century "style" video I made with me singing the lovely piece from the movie "Tous les matins du monde ", arragement by J. Savall. The tune has no known original composer, but it is used by many. I put beautiful pictures of 16-17th century portraits

and paintings for you to look at while listening. And remember that I am NOT a classical singer - I fuse styles ;)
Thank you so much for Jean Claude for letting me use his music to accompany me! His original piece is by Pascale Boquet.

The lyrics are quite sad:
(French)
UNE JEUNE FILLETTE
Une jeune fillette de noble coeur
plaisante et joliette de grand valeur
outre son gré on l'a vanue nonnette
cela point ne luy haite
done vit en grand doleur
(English)
A PRETTY YOUNG MAID
A pretty, sweet young maid
of noble heart and of great worth endowed,
was sent against her will to be a nun
such is not her pleasure,
and so she lives a life of sorrow
