presents

Ye Olde Madrigal Feaste

Knights in shining armor, damsels in distress, brave huntsmen, mirth-making jesters, Lords and Ladies in Renaissance regalia, an Olde English castle . . . at Co-Lin?

At six of the clock on the evenings of February 16 and 17, 2006, the Co-Lin Choral Department will present its semi-yearly Madrigal Feaste, a festive dinner featuring a sumptuous banquet, a cappella singing, Renaissance costumes, lively entertainment, and Olde English merriment. The Co-Lin Concert Choir, the Ambassadors Select Vocal Ensemble, and The Sojourners Show Choir all cavort in this celebration of life, love, and jolly good frivolity.

Unstick thy mind from the present day,,

Let it come with us, let it fly away

On wings of laughter, wings of song,

Wings that carry each along

To a special time, a special place

That magically, mystically cares erase.

. . . To you who wish to take pleasure in the musicke of voyces, we issue this invitation. We pray that the swete harmonie and holy melodie of our songs shall warm thy heartes.

. . . Lords and ladies, one and all, join us in the banquet hall.

The path ahead, it may be winding, but at the end you will be finding

Pleasures aplenty for eye and ear; so let’s be on then with good cheer.

Wes Hale, good lords and ladies fair;

We bid thee welcome; we bid thee share

Our feasting and our revelry, our music and our company!

The Madrigal Feaste will take place in the Co-Lin Cafeteria

on the Wesson campus of Copiah-Lincoln Community College.
