4 Songs by the 4 Gentlemen

Sur le pont d'Avignon

Wolf Koenig, Jean Paul Ladouceur

Extravagantly gowned marionettes pantomime this old French folksong, sung by the Trio Lyrique. The song describes the traffic over the bridge at Avignon--the beautiful ladies and gallant gentlemen, the musicians and singers, learned professors, uniformed soldiers, comedians, acrobats, and village pranksters.
