[cantabile] Report on the May 24 meeting

We did:

• O Portsmouth
• Vive la serpe
• Dowland, Thou Mighty God
• Slaves are they that heap up mountains
• Now is the month of Maying

It looks like the Memorial Day cookout in Fall River will include
Laura, Bonnie, Anne, Barney, and Paul, but Ishmael is a maybe.

I propose for a program:

• Now is the Month of Maying (Anne on Altus and Laura on Quintus,
  unless Ishmael shows up. Paul should bring the Rackett.)
• Changeons Propos
• Vignons, vignons
• Quand je Bois. All these with the “old” route of 4-foot, French,
  English. Paul, you’re playing and singing bassus; use your judgement
  about whether to do it on recorder or cornetto.
• After that, pass out the drinking songs books to any audience and
  invite participation in some of the rounds. Based on last night, we
  do “Slaves are they” only if the audience is very friendly and
  supportive, but we can do “Anacreon in heaven” in honor of Memorial
  Day in any case.

We’ll be working out schedules and rides when we know more about
the schedule in Fall River. Please remember that it’s a pot-luck
event.
