Text - FRENCH:
Susanne un jour d'amour solicitée
Par deux viellardz, convoitans sa beauté,
Fust en son coeur triste et desconfortée,
Voyant l'effort fait à sa chasteté.
Elle leur dict, Si par desloyauté
De ce corps mien vous avez jouissance,
C'est fait de moy. Si ie fay resistance,
Vous me ferez mourir en deshonneur.
Mais j'aime mieux périr en innocence,
Que d'offenser par peché le Seigneur.
ENGLISH - translation
Susanne, in a day of love, approached by
Two old men lusting after her beauty,
became sad and displeased in her heart
seeing the interest in her chastity.
She says : 'If, illegitimately,
From my body you take pleasure,
It would be my choice. If I resist,
You would make me die in disgrace.
But I prefer to perish innocent,
Than to offend the Lord with a sin.
this recording has been made on 25-2-2013 in Beaufays (Belgium)
and will be part of a CD-box about the History of Renaissance Music, which will appear at the label Ricercar (part of Outhere) somtime in the end of 2013.
the release of this box will be mentioned, as well as the RIC-nr for ordering, as soon as it will be set.
thank you for your interest!
Merci!
This is wonderful, with impeccable tuning, diction, and controlled passion. I never expect anything less from Vox Luminis. Well done - and I always think a cold, resonant church helps focus the voices!!
What delicious melancholy.
Wonderlijk , prachtig uitgevoerd !!
Uf, no puedo evitar lágrimas de emoción cuando disfruto de esta belleza suprema. ¡Qué interpretación, Dios mío! Gracias, gracias.
Your music is so exquisitely perfect, especially this voice combo < sigh>
Used to sing this one with my choir as well... shivers... sublime beauty!
Bravo ! Remarquable par la lisibilité des voix et l'aisance mélodique.
It is so movingly beautiful, the tears well up throughout.
Wonderful, the best performance I have heard.
Ineffably beautiful. Sublime.
splendide! beaux timbres et belle diction! lyrisme...
Voted: Vox Luminis' usual high standard!
Merveilleuse interprétation. Félicitations à vous !
A pure marvel! It gave me goose bumps!
pure transcendence, perfect tone and union of voice
I consistently prefer your interpretations to most others. Hope to one day catch you in concert.

We recorded about 45mins of music for this collection of renaissance music! I checked quickly, but you might be able to getting this recording via the pages of ricercar or outhere.
Great sound! Congratulations.
Magnifique !
Que c'est beau ! un régal !
This is so beautiful!
hello cuckoo how are you good I hope
Sublime !
The conductor guy is weird - keeps putting his right arm under his left armpit - does it in every video. But that sound. That sound. They're the best. Beautiful.
Inspiring stuff: will have a go at this in our Christmas concert.
S U P E R !
Quelle qualité, quelle diction !
Bravi tutti
hello cuckoo how are you good I hope
Looks so cold in there, but a very beautiful warm sound.
perfect dynamics, intonation and blend of voices...makes your group so fabulous and sublime. Never get tired of listening. and I do love the echo
That's gorgeous!
Bravo
BRAVISSIMI! O.O
Wow, simply fantastic. Just beautiful.
Pure beauty !!!
hello cuckoo how are you good I hope
Tuning, phrasing, dynamics - all A+. Superb.
If I was being ultra-picky, I would have liked a tiny bit less echo in the acoustic, but wow anyway.
+Paul Smith I doubt they can help the acoustics since it's a church.
They're making a commercial recording. Picking a building with the right acoustic is a vital part of that process. They may well have chosen that place for its echo
... but for my taste it was a bit too much. Personal taste and all that.
Paul Smith
I would listen to music in a giant can if I could lol
simply amazing!
bravi!
Bravo, enfin une interprétation qui sort du lot. Si ce n'est la prise de son et d'image un peu lointaines et floues. Si ce n'est aussi la prononciation en français moderne d’interprètes francophones qui font regretter la prononciation en français de l'époque renaissance. Par contre l'équilibre des voix, le contrepoint, le tempo et le style interprétatif en forme de lamento sont remarquables et surtout ne forcent pas le trait dans des nuances expressives exagérées et anachroniques..
Bravo - an absolutely stunning version of Lassus' composition!
By the way, the English translation is not correct:
"C'est fait de moi" means "I'm done for", "I'm ruined" and not "It's my choice".
This would change the whole meaning of the biblical story which wasn't intended by the poet.

Nouvelle génération post Hylliard... Relève assurée
i believe that those, who pressed "dislike", mixed it up with "dis i like"
Hahaha! 100% agree!
beginning 00:11
It is a pity that the English translation is catastrophic. 'C'est fait de moy' doesn't mean 'It would be my choice'.
It means 'This is done to me' or 'I'm finished'
Did the bass forget his folder?
no - he didn't... this .mov-recording was done during a professional sound recording, so nobody cared about the little cam that captured this moment - this is how we record cds.
ma, sono sbalordita, non hanno l'età delle voci bianche
Kan haast niet beter en mooier!
Compare the 1589 Byrd consort song "Susanna fair", same text.
ruclips.net/video/kqE9FStoHvo/видео.html
Susanna fair some time assaulted was
by two old men, desiring their delight,
which lewd intent they thought to bring to pass,
if not by tender love, by force and might,
to whom she said, if I your suit deny,
you will me falsely accuse, and make me die.
And if I grant to that which you request,
my chastity shall then deflowered be,
which is so dear to me, that I detest
my life, if it berefted be from me,
and rather would I die of mine accord,
ten thousand times, than once offend our Lord.
Which contrast of the nice interpretation but dreadful dresscode.
Bugger the dress code - it's the music that counts!
Кто от Виленской?
Я нашёл другую версию, для трубы ruclips.net/video/sutBvFqnKPY/видео.html, и она улётная.
Sublime!
Bravo
