Nous Sommes Ici
Rondeau Prime: Nous Sommes Ici - Dai Gerdwr
Recorded at Bardic Madness 2022 in the Shire of the Ravenslake.

Rondeau Prime:
The rondeau prime is a shorter variation of the rondeau. It too is a French form dating from the
13th century. It contains twelve lines, which tend to be iambic. Ten of them are of similar
length, while the two half-lines restate the opening phrase. The verse is split into two sections -
seven lines in the first and five in the second. Both sections end with the half-line refrain. The
rhyme scheme is as follows: abbaccbR abbaR

A The rondeau prime is an alternate form;
B It has but twelve lines and not fifteen -
B Throughout the verse, iambs are routine.
C Now while the line lengths can be varied,
C They should stay close, like they were married.
B Except the half-line, which restates the theme:
R The rondeau prime

A So to these guidelines please conform,
B And do not let your lines careen,
B Your verse should sweetly sound serene.
A A new piece that you now perform.
R The rondeau prime

pick, pass, or play without introduction or explanation. I decided it would be more fun to edit it
all together as one piece so everyone could get the feel of what it was like. Other than a few
technical difficulties, here is most all of what went on for the last two hours of the event. Enjoy!
