Composed by Zachary Damm and Zachary Damm. Contemporary,Renaissance. Octavo. 11 pages. Digital Print Publishing #2927293. Published by Digital Print Publishing (A0.969530).The Canon Yeoman's Lament is a song from the perspective of one of Geoffrey Chaucer's characters from the Canterbury Tales--the Canon Yeoman. In Chaucer's famous work, this unfortunate dupe recounted his misfortunes at the hands of the Canon, a.k.a, Alchemist, as well as the plight of one of the Alchemist's many swindled customers. The song is written for unison choir with a piano accompaniment. It also includes a short play at the end that dramatizes Chaucer's rendition of the Canon Yeoman's Tale. The play requires a minimum of six players and would be excellent as a skit for secondary students. The Canon Yeoman's Lament could conclude the play or, if given a brief verbal introduction, it could stand on its own as a humorous interjection highlighting the perils from swindlers, both past and present. This tongue-in-cheek song captures Chaucer's legendary humor for modern audiences!
