Il est bel et bon (He is good and handsome) for flute quartet by Pierre Passereau Flute Quartet - Digital Sheet Music

Instrumental arrangement of Pierre Passereau's fun madrigal about two women extolling the virtues of their husbands.The sound of their voices gradually begin to sound like the chickens that their husbands are feeding.(Original words - [my English translation is below])Il est bel et bon, commere, mon mari.Il etait deux femmes toutes d`un pays.Disans l`une a l`outre: Avez bon mari?Il est bel et bon, commere, mon mari.Il ne me courousse ne me bat aussi;Il fait le mesnage,Il donne aux poulaillesEt je prens mes plaisirs.Commere, c`est pour rireQuant les poulailles crientCo co di co co daPetite coquete, qu`est cecy?Il est bel et bon, commere, mon mari.He is good and handsome, my husband is,There were two gossiping women in the village,Saying one to the other, do you have a good husband?He doesn`t scold me, or beat me either.He does the chores, he feeds the chickensAnd I just enjoy myself.Really you have to laughto hear the cries of the chicks and hens:Co, co, co, co, dae, little flirt, what`s this?He is good and handsome, my husband is.
