These are the songs that Vashti Bunyan recorded in the sixties, before the release of her first album, Just Another Diamond Day, in 1970. Beautiful voice, and beautiful songs. Here we can hear a cover of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil's The Coldest Night of the Year (first performed by Nino Tempo and April Stevens), where she is accompanied by Twice As Much, from an unreleased Immediate single produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. I think that this is one of the best winter songs, and a kind of answer to Baby It's Cold Outside. Like Carole King sings, some kind of wonderful.

DE MARTIN, ET ALIX
CLÉMENT MAROT
Pig with bagpipes, gargoyle at the ruins of the Melrose Abbey (Scotland)
DE MARTIN, ET ALIX
Martin menoit son Pourceau au marché
Avec Alix, qui en la plaine grande
Pria Martin luy faire le peché
De l’un sus l’autre : et Martin luy demande :
Et qui tiendroit nostre Pourceau, friande ?
Qui ? dit Alix, bon remede il y ha :
Lors le Pourceau à sa jambe lya,
Puis Martin juche, et lourdement engaine :
Le Porc eut peur, et Alix s’escria,
Serre Martin, nostre Pourceau m’entraine.
De este poema de Clément Marot (1496-1544) hicieron canciones Claudin de Sermisy y Clément Janequin. Una traducción, con un añadido:
DE MARTIN, Y ALIX
Martin y Alix llevaban al mercado
su cerdo, y en mitad de la llanura
Alix pidió a Martin que aquel pecado
del uno y la otra hicieran por ventura.
“Amiga, ¿y quién del cerdo se asegura?”
Alix le respondió: “Remedio hay cuerdo.”
Y luego de una pierna se ató al cerdo.
Martin se acopla, la envainó, suspira;
el cerdo se espantó con desacuerdo.
“Empuja,” gritó Alix, “que el cerdo tira.”
...
Martin y Alix volvían del mercado.
El cerdo correteaba en la llanura.
Martin se lamentaba: “¡Gran pecado
fue no vender tan puerca criatura!”
Alix le respondió: “Mayor locura
sería deshacernos de él. No es cuerdo.”
Y luego de una pierna se ató al cerdo.
Martin la comprendió, envaina, suspira;
y Alix perdió el sentido y el acuerdo
en tanto que uno empuja y otro tira.

DANIEL PURCELL
The Masque of Hymen
The Scholars Baroque Ensemble
The Indian Queen is the last of Henry Purcell's semi-operas. His brother Daniel later added a masque celebrating Hymen to end the work in a merry way. Here we hear What flatt'ring noise is this (14), sung by the Envy and his two snaking assistants, the conjurer Ismeron bass air By the croaking of the toad (20), the singing of the jolly Aerial Spirits (25, 26, 27), queen Zempoalla's song I attempt from Love's sickness to fly in vain (27), the plaint of captive princess Orazia They tell us that your mighty powers (29), string wind symphonies, trumpet tunes and more. Hark, rejoice and wonder.
