Not really drinking songs, but nice anyway
Laura Phipps | North Reading, Ma USA | 04/22/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I find it difficult to rate anything without putting it in context. I expected ribald drinking songs similar to "Gaudeamus Sigiture"(sp?) (Latin for "drink to friendship".) For those who never heard of it, think of a bunch of mideval college students who are a wee bit over-trained in Latin and a wee bit intoxicated - hanging out in an alehouse. Well, that's what I was expecting, but not what I got. These songs are more about eating than drinking. There IS a drinking song or two. There are also two prayers. (aka Grace). Nicely done. Just, different from what I expected!Good for someone trying to improve their French. I think. (I'm not sure if the singers are using current French or Olde French, and would appreciate hearing from someone who can tell me!"
