The title of this album, Fay ce que vouldras (Do what thou willst), is taken from the 1532 novel La vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel by François Rabelais, and the recording features readings from the book interspersed with vocal and instrumental music of the period by composers like Josquin Desprez, Claude Lejeune, Clément Janequin, Orlande de Lassus, and Claudin de Sermisy. This is an album that should be highly entertaining for fans of these composers and anyone who enjoys music that's quirky or sometimes just plain strange. The spoken texts, in Middle French, are delivered with such gusto and panache by Vincent Bouchot that they should engage even listeners who don't understand a word of what is being said. (The CD comes with a gorgeous, lavishly produced book in French that includes no translations.) The performances by the wind ensemble Les Sacqueboutiers and the male vocal group Ensemble Clément Janequin are ebullient and polished. This is rowdy secular music and the performers sound like they are having the time of their lives with its high spirits and occasional loopiness. The music's oddness peaks in the second part of Janequin's chanson, La chasse, in its depiction of a pack of dogs, barking, howling, and yelping. The music itself is riotously unconventional -- Janequin obviously had a wicked sense of humor -- and the singers' very free rendering of the hounds' gnof, gnof, tronc, tronc, plif, plof is hilarious. The sound is immaculate and detailed.
