Madrigal Dinners
Renaissance feast celebrates holidays with wine, song
By CYNTHIA GAY
Stilt/ Writer
“Ye must enter the hall with the
spirit of Christmas!” the painted jes
ter shouted Wednesday night, as the
banquet hall Was, opened f or the f irst,
of f our Madrigal Ditniers.
WirieV w'enche's/ and Wassail
abounded in a whirlwind of holiday
cheer f rom the Renaissance and Me
dieval eras.
In the 16th century, English lords
were charmed with this Italian cus
tom of an after-dinner madrigal
filled with light, bawdy or romantic
songs.
With the (College Station Hilton
substituting for an English manor,
guests from Texas A&M and the
community are entertained in the
gallery for an hour before the feast
by roving jugglers, singers and magi
cians.
Men in maroon and lavender
tights hurled red, yellow, and blue
Indian clubs past the ears of one
nervous man, while the troupe per
formed a chorus of Christmas carols.
Wednesday through Saturday
night MSC Madrigal Dinners is pull
ing together this witty and talented
group Of 40 perf ormers, who mean
der between tables poking fun at the
audience and making sure the rules
of the f east are enforced.
Yes, there are rules, hut mother
would never approve of them.
The presiding Lord and Lady Ra
leigh of Nottingham require their
400 dinner companions to use only a
knife and their fingers to eat the
“sallat, larsed feasant, lemonwhyt,
diplomatic pudding and new pota
toes and sauce."
Napkins are to be worn over the
left shoulder so that a guest can
properly wipe his beard without em
ploying his already greasy fingers.
But no matter! All guests soon be
come friends at their own table, as
wives feed their husbands grapes
and everyone sways to the music of
the wassail song.

A shout from the jester directsilt
audience to look to the head tali
