A song that sounds older than it really is. François-Auguste Gevaert’s are 1828-1908, so this song is Victorian, not Renaissance. Gevaert calls it a ronde villageoise, a ronde (about a?) village girl. SATBB a cappella. The melody has lots of dotted quarter notes—not the beat and a half kind, but the quick and light kind. The Lala Singers sing them with a sort of “plop”.
