It's a beautiful poem and I'll try to put it in contemporary french:

Tant que je vivrai, mon coeur ne changera
Pour nulle vivante, tant soit elle bonne ou sage
forte ou puissante, riche de haut lignage.
Mon choix est fait, autre ne se fera.

As long as I live, my heart will not change
for any living woman, even if she is good or gentle
strong or powerful, "rich" of noble descent.
My choice is made, no other shall be.

Just a quick correction: the recent recording on Focus of works by
Hildegard of Bingen is a reconstruction of the Office  of Lauds for the
Feast of St. Ursula with a few additional works.  It is performed without
instruments, but I do wonder where the psalm-tones came from?
If there are people interested in recordings of medieval music, I would
strongly recommend the numerous recordings on Hyperion by Christopher Page
and the Gothic Voices (there are now about ten releases).

mike@uhunix.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu (Mike W. Burger) asks about Michala Petri.

As others have already mentioned, she's technically very good, but has no
expression to speak of.  She goes for a harsh, shrill tone quality too.
The rumor mill claims that if she could get out from under the influence
of her mother (who does most of her harpsichord accompaniments, and
dictates much else) there may still be hope for her some day.  At least
she records a lot of the standard amateur pieces like the Telemann Duets
and van Eyck, so I can have some idea of what the fast movements can
sound like at a decent speed :)

Another much recorded recorder player that I can't seem to tolerate much
is Clas Pehrsson.  He plays with a very harsh tone, and his ornaments are
intended to impress everyone with his virtuosity, not to embellish the
music.  (I know, it was a common complaint even when the music was
written, so he's right in period style!  Doesn't make me want to listen
though...)

To better hear what a recorder can do, look for Kees Boeke, Walter van
Hauwe, Franz Bruggen.  Unfortunately, Boeke has mostly switched to gamba
these days, and most of his old recordings haven't shown up on CD yet as
far as I can find out.  Even most of Bruggen's stuff is out of print.

In any case, rush right out and buy _A Little Consort Music_ (Etcetera
KTC 1005)  with van Hauwe and a little of Boeke (three cuts on recorder).
Wonderful selections beautifully played (not all recorder though).  The
Purcell Chaconne that opens it is to kill for.

Yes, she's technically awesome.  I haven't heard a lot of her
recordings, but those I've heard have seemed to me to sacrifice any
semblance of feeling on the altar of technical prowess.  Two years
ago, at an ARS workshop, I and a roomfull of other recorder players
were played recordings by two different people of the same Baroque
concerto passage; I'm pretty sure we were not told in advance the
names of the performers.  Almost everybody in the room described one
of the performances (Petri's, as it turned out) as technically
flawless, but the other (I've forgotten his name) as more interesting
to hear.

Anything by "Gothic voices" (Hyperian):
        A feather on the breath of God (CDA66039)
        Music for the Lion-Hearted King (CDA66336)
        Medieval Romantics (CDA66463)

  and others ...

Anything by Sequentia - eg English songs of the middle ages (BMG 77019)

Sinfonye (Hyperian)
        Bella Domna (CDA66283)
        Courts of Love (CDA66367)

Esther Lamandier (Alienor):
        Chansons de Toile (Al 1021)
  and others ...

Paul Hillier:  Proensa (ECM 1368)
  (and the Hilliard Ensemble, as earlier recommended.  Their Perotin record
is excellent.  (ECM 1385))

Maronite traditional chant - Sr Marie Keyrouz  (Harmonia Mundi - eg HMC
   901350)

Tristan & Iseult - Boston Camerata, dir Joel Cohen
   (this is a good emsemble - try any of their recordings.  This is special
   as it was Henri Ledroit's last recording, I believe.)

Look for anything by Ensemble PAN and Ensemble Alcatraz.  For that
matter, look for anything that has Shira Kammen playing on it (she plays
vielle for both groups.)  Also look for Sequentia and Medieval Strings
(though I don't think they have a recording yet, blast it.)  David Munrow
has two CDs with medieval music.  The Folger Consort does medieval
occaisionally.  Also look for the Hilliard Ensemble for vocal music.
Their Perotin and Machaut are outstanding.

A sampling of possibly still available CDs:

Ensmble PAN: The Island of Hylaryon, Music of Cyprus.  New Albion NA 038 CD
Ensemble Alcatraz: Danse Royale. Elektra Nonesuch 79240-2
Hilliard Ensemble: Perotin.  ECM 837 751-2
                   Machaut - Messe de Notre Dame.  Hyperion CDA66358
David Munrow: Music of the Gothic Era.  Archiv 415 292-2
              Pleasures of the Royal Courts. Elektra Nonesuch 9 71326-2
Folger Consort: Carmina Burana and other songs from the German Middle Ages
                  Bard BDCD 1-8901
Elena Polanska: Medieval and Renaissance Harp.  Vox PVT 7146
                  (plus many instruments other than harps)

The current medieval groups such as PAN and Alcatraz sound quite
different from Binkley and Munrow, who recorded in the early days of
early music revival. Partly because they go for a somewhat different
repertoire, mostly because performance practice has evolved a lot.  I
like them both.

I believe the usual list of Church modes is

1 Dorian                           2 Hypodorian
3 Phrygian                         4 Hypophrygian
5 Lydian                           6 Hypolydian
7 Mixolydian                       8 Hypomixolydian

The modes in the right-hand column are the "plagal" versions of those
to their left, but the distinction really makes sense only for
Gregorian chant, for which the system was devised; applying it to
music written 600 years later is like trying to explain U.S. laws
regarding patenting software in !Kung.

I'm not acquainted with any traditional Church modes beyond 8, but if one
extrapolated the same pattern one would get

9 Aeolian                         10 Hypoaeolian
11 Locrian                        12 Hypolocrian
13 Ionian                         14 Hypoionian

I don't remember off the top of my head what the rules are for
constructing plagal modes, but "hypolocrian" seems way too weird for
Gabrielli.

Re: Michaela Petri - just wanted to put my 2 cents in.  I can't stand
her.  The recorder-playing automaton.  Ugh.  Have seen/heard her perform
once, will never go again.  Technical perfection, but no sense of what
is musical or what the music is about: the ultimate plastic performer.
I had hoped she'd grow up and develop some emotions which she could then
express through her music, but evidently that is never to be.  Too bad.

	I checked out our university library to see if I could find
an example of what a recorder could really do.  I found two CD's
featuring Michala Petri playing sonatas opposite a harpsichord.
	They are rather astounding.  One is Philips CD 412 632-2 PH
of Vivaldi, Corelli, Marchello Recorder Sonatas with George Malcolm
on Harpsichord.  The other is material from Handel and I do not have

  Anyway, they blew my socks off!  This must be ARS level XII :-)

The article on "mode" in The Harvard Dictionary of Music, edited by Don Randel
is a much more concise and clear place to begin reading about mode than the
article in the New Grove.  There are eight traditional chruch modes, but the
16th century theorists Glarean and Zarlino both proposed twelve mode systems.
