Come, Ye Ladies and Lairds

In this Renaissance-sounding original, a laird is a lord of a Scottish estate.  With text about celebrating a holiday feast, it is especially appropriate for a madrigal dinner and/or processional, while the accompaniment by recorder, finger cymbals, tambourine, hand drum, guitar and optional keyboard create a medieval atmosphere.  Use harpsichord, or add dance and costumes to transport your ensemble and audiences to sixteenth-century Scotland.
