13th c. French Medieval Song: Bele Aelis par matin
Motet: Bele Aelis par matin / Haro, haro / Flos filius
It's difficult to find writings on Stevie Wishart's interpretations of medieval works, but the technique used with voices to imitate wind instruments is quite refreshing.

Translation courtesy of Cantos Cruzados:
Bele Aelis rose when morning came,
Went into a field to play,
Full of game, in sheer delight,
Then she calls a love to mind
With so long she's been inflamed:
Sighing, she now exclaimed:
"God, how I live in misery
Since I'm beaten night and day,
For my sweetheart's sake!
But the more my mother beats me,
The less will she ever take
My wild thoughts away!"
