- On Saturday 13th April, visitors to the High Great Chamber at Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire, were in for a surprise...
To celebrate the opening of the 'Virtue and Vice' exhibition, curated by Dr Helen Smith (English and Related Literature) and the 'Conversion Narratives' project team, a York quartet gave an apparently spontaneous rendition of the wooden sheet music that adorns the famous Eglantine Table at Hardwick. 'Les Canards Chantants' - Sarah Holland (Soprano), Robin Bier (Alto), Edward Ingham (Tenor), Graham Bier (Bass) - transcribed and edited the music prior to the performance.

Here's a most gracious prank. How utterly delightful... Just imagine having been fortunate enough to have been calmly walking about the Hall when suddenly, sublimely, these exquisite voices began to bloom, breathing life and love into ages past. Many blessings to Sarah, Robin, Edward & Graham for their lovely gifts to us.
First flash mob that I ever liked.
Gracias!!!!!!
OMG HOW BEAUTIFUL. TEARS IN MY EYES. STUNNING.
So beutiful
I wish I could be there with my lute ! Thank you, it amazes me that 4 youngest in 2022 sing a 16th cent. song still talking directly to our hearts and souls, let's call it "The Bridge of Humanity"
This is so beautiful, It touched my Heart and Soul deeply, since the very first notes of the song. I am sure that I couldn't have held back a tear if I had been there in person.
Thanks! It was a special day and amazing to be singing with the table right there.

Jenny Green Yes, such a fascinating piece of furniture, go see it when you get a chance!
This one gives me chills and brings a tear to my eye every time I watch it, very powerful emotion put into song by these amazing voices.👍😊
Wonderful music, wish I had been there at the time.
Absolutely Beautiful!
Intensely evocative! Music doth indeed have *powers. Thank you for this exquisite example!
This is magnificently beautiful
Wow! Loved this! Such beauty!
I must admit that, because of my poor English, I don't understand all the lyrics, but Beauty has truely no frontiers, nor language! Many thanks to the four of you!
Some serious people back then ! I like this.
They took their furniture seriously.
You guys are fantastic

I can not stop to listen it. I really love this music.

I have watched this three times today and each time was moved to tears - of joy, of sorrow?

Stunning. It is also wonderful to see the expressions on the audiences faces
Mega schön ❤️

Absolutely wonderful........beautifully gifted. jack moran
Really though, check it out. I've been listening to it all week.
Beautiful
great stuff. thanks a lot.
You're welcome, we enjoyed singing it!
Splendid! How I wish to have been amongst the justly amazed crowd. I would have lost myself and found an old self listening to you.
This literally gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing this.
Magnificent !!!!!
Very cool indeed.
Thank you.
Lovely rendition
Not quite what I'd call a mob, but fabulous surprise performance! You do lose something from departing from an intimate madrigal setting, but now I want to see a flash mob version with 200 people. XD
Awesome! I was worried when I read 'flash mob'...
So were we!
❤
Beautifully and quintessentially English..
Is there any full recording of this available? The lack of echo from being performed in something that is not a naked empty stone hall like a church, makes this sound so very warm and cozy
This is so beautiful.
For those, who are interested in sheet music: just google the following
"O Lord in Thee is all my trust" Thomas Tallis cpdl
Thank you! I was wondering what it was.
@@cestmarrant1 Me too. I was near to ask for help because I really love this music. I love music sinze I was three years old but when I heard this in movie I fell in love with John Dowland´s music and similar master pieces.
Thank you.
Cool
genial.
danke
Can somebody translate "shent" for the American audience? E.g. "I shent a package to me auntie in Angleshey" or "Me mates've got on a night out on the beer but I shent be attending"
'Shent' is old English for 'being put to shame'. The word is obsolete in the United Kingdom as well as in the US. This song first appeared in 1565, so close to 450 years ago!
Fantastic!
