About Au joly bocquet croist la violette

The French words paint a charming pastoral scene: in a pretty grove, a violet grows. Yesterday, Jaquet invited Michelette to a banquet on a green tree stump. From her small bag, the pretty girl took out a package. The young woman agrees. This setting is brought to life by Jacobus Clemens non Papa in this secular chanson for SATB choir. It is a delightful example of Renaissance part-music, capturing the lightheartedness of the text through its musical setting.
