Au joli bois by Claudin de Sermisy — Lyrics
Au joly boys, en l'ombre d`ung soucy,
M'y fault aller pour passer ma tristesse,
Remply de dueil d'ung souvenir transy,
Menger m'y fault maintes poires d`angoisse,
En ung jardin remply de noires flours

About Au joli bois
Claudin de Sermisy's Au joli bois is a secular French chanson for four voices. Its text describes a lover seeking solace in a garden, overwhelmed by grief and the loss of their beloved. The words speak of sorrow and the longing for lost happiness, painting a poignant picture of unrequited love or separation. This piece would be well-suited for a consort of voices, perhaps during a more reflective moment in a concert programme.
