Amour et moy by Thomas Crecquillon — Lyrics
Middle French
Amour et moy avons faict accointance
en pourchassant la mienne affection
et bon espoir me donne intention
de pourchasser et vivr'en esperance
pour parvenir à consolation
si ie voy cler mes yeulx sont sans doubtance
et demeurons en paix et union Amour et moy

About Amour et moy
Thomas Crecquillon was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance. This chanson, Amour et moy, is set for four voices (STTB) and sung in French. The text speaks of a pact between the narrator and Love, with the narrator pursuing their affections and living in hope of consolation. The composer assures us that their eyes are clear and that Love and the narrator will remain in peace and union. This is a secular part-song typical of its era, exploring themes of love and constancy.
