Bon Bon Si l’Amour Vous Gène is a rather cocky traditional Belgian song, in which the narrator boasts of his conquest of his lover to his rivals. We have arranged it as an instrumental, on two sets of German hummelchen small pipes, with Penny on lead. The intensity builds as we move into the 16th-century French dance tune “Scottish Bransle”, then finally erupts into L’Homme Armé featuring the shawm. L’Homme Armé is a late medieval secular song, warning the listener to fear the armed man – possibly a reaction to the 15th-century fall of Constantinople to the Turks. The tune became quite ubiquitous in Renaissance sacred music, famously used as a cantus firmus for masses by composers such as Josquin des Prez, Guillaume Du Fay and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.
