Instrumental duo based on an anonymous 15th century macaronic song about a girl who was made pregnant, and then abandoned, by a cleric. The melody is taken by the guitar in with variations in the middle, while the melody instrument has a countermelody, and then, in the final section, the melody instruments provides a few divisions. The sound sample is an electronic preview For interest here are the words of the original song with my translation of the Latin bits: Up I arose in verno tempore [in springtime] and found a maiden sub quadam arbore [under some tree] that did complain in suo pectore [in her bosom] saying I feel puerum movere [the little boy moving] Adieu pleasures antiquo tempore, [in times gone by] full oft with you solebam ludere. [I used to play] but for my sins mihi deridere [they hold me in derision] with right good cause incipio flere [I start to weep] Now what shall I say meis parentibus, [to my parents] because I lay with quidam clericus [some man of the cloth] They will beat me cum virgis et fustibus [with sticks and clubs] and me sore chaste coram omnibus [in front of everybody] With the said child quid faciam [what shall I do] shall I it keep vel interficiam [or kill it] If I slay it quo loco fugiam [where shall I flee to] I shall lose God et vitam eternam [and eternal life].

The original words of this song (with my translations) :

Tant que vivray en aage florissant
As long as I am in the prime of life
Je serviray d'amour le dieu puissant,
I shall serve the powerful god of love
En faictz, en ditz, en chansons et accordz;
In all I do and say and in my songs and harmony
Par plusieurs jours m'a tenu languissant,
For many days he made me languish
Et puis apres ma fait resjoyssant,
But afterwards he made me rejoice,


Car j'ay l'amour de la belle au gent corps;
Because I have the love of the fair lady
Son alliance, c'est ma fiance,
Her betrothal is pledged to me
Son coeur est mien, le mien est sien,
Her heart is mine, my heart is hers
Fy de tristesse, vive liesse,
Away with sadness, welcome gladness
Puisqu'en amours j'ay tant de biens.
Because I have such riches in love

This is a instrumental duo based on a song that I composed just before my umpteenth appearance at the New Troubadour Club at Follies Wine Bar Manchester back in 1991.
Writer's block was threatening to take over, so I wrote about writer's block, in a sort of mock blues style...


The original words are:
Woke up Sunday mornin' and notes went spinnin' round. (rpt)
What can I sing for the New Troubadours - Troubadours?
Woke up wake up woke up wake up.
What can I sing for the New Troubadours?
Oh! I just godda sing the Blues the New Troubadour Blues
'cos there's nothing they like better than the Blues.

I got those New Troubadour Blues.
'cos there's not a single chord these Blues refuse;
not a single note I cannot choose.

Then it was Monday evenin' with no more words in mind;
notes they still kept spinnin'
but no cause could they find.
What can I sing for the New Troubadours?

So, here's a sad Blues with a walkin' bass.
it'll walk all over you,
leavin' muddy footprints
So here's a sad Blues, Blues, Blues
So here is a walkin' bass.
oh! why am I walkin'
with a muddy walkin' bass
waitin' for words to come?
Blues Blues Blues Blues Blues Blues
waitin' for words to come
Oh those sad Blues
I got those New Troubadour Blues.
New Troubadour Blues 'cos there's not a single chord these Blues refuse!
