about

based upon the medieval belief that birds started mating on valantine's day, the source of our celebration of the day

the second track is based upon chaucer's lyric:

Now welcome summer with thy sunne soft,
Now welcome summer with thy sunne soft,
That hast this winter`s weather overshake,
And driven away the longe nightes black.
Saint Valentine, that art full high on loft,
Thus singen smalle fowles for thy sake:
Now welcome summer with thy sunne soft,
That hast this winter`s weathers overshake.
Well have they cause for to gladden oft,
Well have they cause for to gladden oft,
Since each of them recovered hath his make.
Full blissful may they singen when they wake:
Now welcome summer with thy sunne soft,
Now welcome summer with thy sunne soft,
That hast this winter`s weather overshake,
And driven away the longe nightes black.
