If anyone's confused by the duck being stroked, I think this is why... Henry VIII wrote this song, and when he was courting Anne Boleyn, he once sent her a letter saying "I want to stroke your pretty duckies" (no points for guessing what he means by duckies). That might be the reason, but if it's not, it's a fun coincidence.
I think this piece was for Catherine of Aragon, when they were hapilly married and living a life of pleasure, Catherine once wrote saying: "Our life is parties and games"
The interesting thing is... it's not middle-English. She's using modern received pronouncation... but changing company to compan-ey. I'm not sure what the idea is, but it's certainly far from middle-English.
Re-awakened to the beauty of the Madrigal, I came upon this delightful and early Henry VIII production in the loveliest ensemble. Deceptively light and ‘easy’, this spritely version is the perfect music for a summer’s day. Thank you!
I have seen your video a thousand times. Also Dowland's video, 'Can she excuse my wrongs'. It is amazing because of your technique, the interpretive taste, the sweetness that you exude in each phrase, in each note, because of the refined and fine simplicity and because we are not very used to a performer playing two instruments in the same piece. I really love it. Hopefully we can deserve more gifts like this. And until then, truly, thank you very much for your magnificent presents.
Fantastic. I bought an alto recorder a while ago. The last time I played a recorder was when I was 8 as a learner instrument before moving onto flute and oboe. But my heart has always been with the recorder. The alto recorder (even a cheap plastic one) has such a lovely profundo, warm sound, I wondered about trying a tenor recorder?? I was worried that my fingers would not stretch, but looking at Ms Chiu, I am wondering whether I could???

Their recorder runs, even on the bass, are just flawless.
In short, they shred hard.
i was thinking the same.
Now that's what I call good ensemble playing!
The accelerating finale must have been quite something to pull off
Did I really hear this ultra funky bass line in the last vocal chorus? Unbelievable!
Superb. But the staccato sequence at the end was just SUBLIME. Wonderful interpretation.
Love the authentic middle English pronunciation of the lyrics and wonderful playing.
My thoughts exactly! This is such a great version, both vocally and instrumentally.
I believe more Early Modern English but yes! Middle English is more that of Chaucer, etc from 1100-1500
The interesting thing is... it's not middle-English.
She's using modern received pronouncation... but changing company to compan-ey.
I'm not sure what the idea is, but it's certainly far from middle-English.
@@adamjacksonmedia It's probably to preserve the rhyme, while keeping the lyrics understandable
@SquidFan That makes no sense to me.
It would be easier to understand using actual middle-English, than this strange pronouncation.
The breath control towards the end is incredible!
More Rennaisance and Baroque Music please …. you’re all really good Artists.
Your sync with one another during the recorder part at the end was FLAWLESS. 😍
Hello Very good voices. And recorder playing. I love how you interpret this piece and dowland’s “can she excuse my
Wrongs”... bravo!

This group sets the bar very high!
Wow - die letzte Minute Flötenspiel ist ein nie gehörtes Level!
J'adore de voir interpréter ainsi la musique ainsi avec fraicheur, talent et humour.
Just love, love, love this one!!
Amazing performance 🔥
Cheer~~~~an activity that someone does regularly for enjoyment rather than work--- a hobby.😊
Thank you. Great fun! Such skillful playing.
That was FABULOUS!!! Musically AND Visually!!!

What a fun performance with staccato to add spice.
Henry VIII: Paſtyme with good companye... 🎶
duck: Aww yiss!
Blown away.
This is amazing. I love the pronunciation, makes it feel more real!
This music is mesmerizing.
Absolutely wonderful. ❤
I share your evident enjoyment! Great, and thank you!

Lorsqu'un coup de blues survient, cette énergie musicale est vraiment stimulante !
Keep kicking ass...love your ensemble harmony!
So perfect !!
That last section sounded really neat. I wonder if the increasing tempo was difficult to communicate with one another?

Last night we were serenaded at Magdalen College by the Madrigals on the River.
It was quite magical and there were very amusing interludes, lest our emotions gushed forth into Isis herself!
So metal!
A delight
Great
Mamma mía!!!!
Yo, you chicks straight up rock.
nice
Is the large recorder part starting at 0:54 original score or is it a contemporary addition?
It's our own arrangement!
Next level badassery
Recorder shred 🤘
Holy cow... that Asian girl can tear it up like Paganini.
This was an absolutely astonishing version of one of my favourites.
THIS IS FUCKING METAL!!!
