About A tout jamais
A choir might programme Thomas Crecquillon's A tout jamais for a concert of Renaissance secular music. This French chanson for STTB voices sets a text of unwavering devotion, where the singer pledges eternal service to a lady. The lyrics speak of hearts united as one, bound by an unchangeable will. Crecquillon's setting would have been enjoyed in the intimate settings of the courts of the Low Countries and France, where such chansons were a popular form of entertainment and artistic expression.
