about

Welcome one and all to Week 113 of #TuneUpThursdays, and the 2018 #AtoZ project!

This week's song is brought to you by the letter "I", and I've decided to do a choral piece because I haven't done one in a while.

Plus, the piece is also in French, which I haven't done since the 2016 Acapella Advent Calendar.

This is one of the pieces I learnt as part of the SaskExpress Musicology school tour show, and coming from a choral background, as well as a Francophone background, quickly grew to be one of my favourite pieces.

The fact that it was also done by the King's Singers at one point didn't hurt either!

Please enjoy my cover of "Il Est Bel Et Bon", which was recorded at our billet's home in Loon Lake a few weeks ago.

And as always, if you like what you hear, please share with your friends and family.

Side note: I love to collaborate!!! If you'd like to record a Tune-Up Thursdays track with me, just drop me a line at Aerhyn.Lau@gmail.com and we'll work on something together to record! Or if you have an acapella arrangement of a song you've been working on, please share it with me and I'll do a recording of it! Or, if you have a song request, message me and I'll try my best to make it happen!

Join me next week for #WindBackWednesdays, and next Thursday for the letter "J".

lyrics

Français:
Il est bel et bon commère, mon mari.
Il était deux femmes toutes d'un pays,
disant l'une à lautre:
ave bon mari.

Il ne me courrouce,
ne me bat aussi.
Il fait le ménage,
il donne aux poulailles,
et je prends mes plaisirs.

Commère, c'est pour rire,
quand les poulailles crient:
Petite coquette,
qu'est ceci?

English:
My husband is a good and handsome fella.
There were two village women,
saying one to the other:
you have a good husband.

He doesn't scold me,
or beat me either.
He does the cleaning,
he feeds the chickens,
and I take my pleasure.

You have to laugh,
when the chickens cluck:
Little flirt,
what's this?
