This early 13th Century French piece is a really nice way to practice your chords with melody mixed in. Still shaking this cold (or is it the flu?)....
It’s so lonesome to see a thread with only one vid, so… Very nice playing pluckinstrings, what did you think of Martin’s version? Not bad too. Martin? https://youtu.be/WWOMK94x96Q Here’s Jack Campin’s version from his most famous site, there are of course many other Pastourelles at abcnotation.com and this one on my Youtube channel too. I’ve included a thirds part.

That was a fast answer, Simon. Well played by both of you.
Thanks Frithjof, 42 minutes is a record. I didn’t see pluckingstrings’ post for 1h57! I wanted to rise to the challenge of joining in on one of Martin’s tunes in record time too but it takes an hour to re-write the notation to TAB, ha, ha. -I like the feeling that you’re almost playing together, there’s just a slight delay. And there’s that thrill in the learning process. I remember that The Road to Lisdoonvarna, the first or second tune I ever posted here on SAW took me 5 weeks to 'learn'! But it’s a wonderful mandolin journey and I like that we’re very helpful and cooperative here on SAW.
It's always a good time to enjoy some medieval music! I hadn't heard this tune before. Your interpretations sound very different from each other, which makes it all the more interesting. I'll just play them again...
