But Nonesuch is not a unique title, it's even a record label. Without something more to go on there's no answer to the question. |

15 Apr 99 - 10:59 PM (#71216) Subject: RE: Nonesuch lyrics and midi From: Lucius Richard Thompson plays the English Country Dance tune "Nonesuch" on his Strict Tempo album. Bare Necessities does the same tune on their "Take a Dance" recording. Bare Necessities also plays it in its traditional minor befor going to the major "a la mode de France". The Barnes Book of English Dance has it notated both ways. I would be happy to send along a MIDI file, but I don't know how to post it here. If you want, send me your e-mail address and I can send it directly to you. |

I was always told it was a 16th century English country dance tune. MMario |

De raising of de Parliament have quite pull'd down de Court De king and queen dey separate, and rule in ignorance. Pray judge ye gentlemen if dis be a la mode de France. A vise man dere is like a ship dat strike upon de shelves. Dey prison all, behead and vip all viser dan demselves. Dey send out men to fetch deyr king who may come home perchance: O fy, fy, fy it is be gar not a la mode de France. Dey raise deyr valiant prentices to guard deyr cause with clubs; dey turn deyr bishops out of doors and preash demselves in tubs. De cobler and de tinker too, dey vill in time advance; Gar take dem all, it is (mort Dieu) not a la mode de France. Instead of bowing to dayr king day vex him vith epistles; dey furnish all deyr souldiers out vith bodkins spoons and vhistles; dey bring deyr gold and silver in, de Brownists to advance, and if dey be cheat of it all 'tis a la mode de France. But if ven deyr vealth be gone dey turn unto deyr king, dey vill all make amends again, den merrily we will sing. Vive le Roy, vive le Roy, ve'll sing, carouse and dance, de English men have done fort bon, and a la mode de France. |
