The Polyphonists - "Mille regretz" (Josquin des Prez)

Regretz, we've had a few, but then again, too few to mention... we're excited to share our newly-released video of "Mille Regretz" by Josquin des Prez. There is nothing to regret when you sing one of the all-time greatest hits of Franco-Flemish polyphony with your best friends in the perfect acoustic!
Video recording and editing by Max Kuzmyak @ W40th Media. Recorded at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Polyphonists (puh-LIH-fuh-nists) are a professional vocal ensemble founded from two households: soprano Amy Broadbent & tenor Matthew Hill, and mezzo-soprano Sylvia Leith & bass-baritone Edmund Milly. The word polyphony describes many independent voices interwoven in harmony, and that is our ethos: We are four soloists, but we come together to create music that transcends our individuality.
Since our debut in 2020, The Polyphonists have garnered a steady following and developed a reputation for sophisticated and broad-ranging programming. The Polyphonists were honored as National Finalists for The American Prize in Chamber Music Performance, 2023 (Professional Division), and have been featured in residence at the University of Maryland, Towson University, the University of Oklahoma, & Oklahoma Baptist University. Our repertoire spans from the early Renaissance through the current day, with a commitment to expanding the choral canon by premiering new works and shining a light on lesser-known gems of the repertoire.

TEXT:
Mille regretz de vous abandonner
Et d'eslonger vostre fache amoureuse,
Jay si grand dueil et paine douloureuse,
Quon me verra brief mes jours definer.
TRANSLATION:
I still regret a thousand times my flight;
I left behind your loving disposition.
Great is my grief and sorrowful contrition,
And soon my days will fade into the night.
Translation by Carol Anne Perry Lagemann

Mille regretz de vous abandonner
Et d'eslonger vostre fache amoureuse,
J'ay si grand dueil et paine douloureuse,
Qu'on me verra brief mes jours definer.
I regret abandoning you a thousand times
Pushing myself far from your loving face
I've such sorrow and pain for these
You'll see my time is short within life's space
