The GALLIARD is a courting dance where the best dancer (mark that I am he), wins the hand of his fair maiden through great skill, grace, and perfect mastery of the dance! And now, a winning of toasts and talk, where all the voices have a fine time with a drinking butler. The tenor proposes toasts to the Sopranos who enjoy weak and watery wine and thoroughly nice wine; to the Altos who enjoy the heavy drinker wine; and the basses who drink a sweet cordial wine. The basses toast atutta la compagnia, (to all of the company). The butler asks what they think of the wine to which the company answers in faith, it's GOOD! Anybody who wants fun again, I invite to the lovely flowering. Young lovers, gay and gallant; Sweethearts—Return with them. Singers will be heard, venting their ardors in a new style, tasteful and beautiful. In the meantime; Go and be happy! I want to finish by saying again: Anybody who wants more fun, come again to our rich festival!!

FESTINO The Chamber Chorale and String Ensemble presented a Renaissance Dinner Theater on November 1 and 2, 1974 in the Student Union. The Chorale members, wearing costumes of sixteenth-century style, served to over 200 persons a delicious dinner of Cornish game hen and wild rice, prepared by cafeteria personnel, while Chorale director Stan Engebretson played the harpsichord. After the meal, the Chorale members took their places around the head table from which they performed an Italian Madrigal comedy entitled Festino” originally written as Party on the Evening of Fat Thursday.” The jester, Steve Nicolai, guided those present through the evening with the narration below. MASQUERADE OF THE COUNTRY GIRLS A maiden sings beautiful verses to the accompaniment of a Jew’s- harp and lyre. Everyone tells me that I am very beautiful—Some compare me to the star Diana, Some compare me to the Infant Cupid. All the peasants say that I carry the flower of beauty before me.” Yesterday morning a young man said to me: “Why don’t I have such a flea in my Bed?” THE MODERN DELIGHT AS INTRODUCTION: Anybody who wants amusement and pleasure, Come to the party for a little while. Outbursts of high spirits, In a good humor before supper. Jests and masked dancing; Entertainments, ardent sighs; Festivities, games and fun of all kinds are there to be enjoyed. We return to say: Anybody who wants amusement and pleasure, Come in to the party for a little while. MASQUERADE OF THE LOVERS They enter the party, accompanied by a harpsichord- toned lute. LOVERS IN A MOORISH FASHION We are here to give delight, moorishing the Spagnoletto, All the young lovers dance on their legs nimble and pleasing! Do it this way, do it that! Well done, cu cu ru cu! Long live Cupid! Long live Venus in this company! Do it over there, over here, Good Evening, Fa La La La! CAPRICCIATA FOR 3 VOICES Noble spectators, now you will hear four spirited ones: A dog, a cat, a cuckoo, and owl, for a joke, figure counterpoint over a bass! THE FRENCH BRANSLE” 0, 0, 0. To No No No — Since no more masks appear, Let’s go out to eat supper. Since the clock has struck three, Let’s finish up in good humor. There's the table: for a little while, We’ll sing long live, long live the Wonderful Party!
