'Allons Voir ce Divin Gage' - Jean-Francois Dandrieu, ca.1720. Arranged and performed by Daniel Mantey - Music all Sorts; 2 hurdy-gurdy (vielle a roues). Louis XIV sponsered very special Christmas concerts in the very beautiful Royal Chapel at Versailles, and many 'Noels' were written for these 'Concert Spirituel.' This Noel from a suite by Dandrieu was written for solo organ, clearly in imitation of the hurdy-gurdy duets that were featured at many of the earliest of these royal Christmas concerts. I have arranged it 'back' to a pair of hurdy-gurdys. From my Winter CD.
