Published by David William Flippo (A0.995990). Three songs sung by three supporting characters in the full length musical Roxane of Bergerac Audio for each can be found at www.flippomusic.com/roxane . The pieces include Love is Wasted on the Young - sung by Duenna, The Good Old Days - sung by De Guiche and Almont Tarts - sung by Ragueneau. The first pieces is lyric, flowing ballad in a classical style that is interrupted by a dance section and returns to the original music; the second is a bouncing, humorous , jazzy stride-style piece in which De Guiche complains about the new, polite rules for love; the last is a humorous musical recipie for almond tarts. Roxane is a romantic action-comedy date musical about Roxane's refusal to be merely decorative when it comes to living her life, and this while questing for True Love and her Hero of True Romance.The musical language is a blend of Jazz and Renaissance musical styles that parallels the mash-up of today’s slang with the preciosity (refined speech) of some 16th century Parisians.
