Bayser souvent by Pellegrune Symon — Lyrics
Baiser souvent, n'estce pas grand plaisir?
Dites "oui", vous autres amoureux,
car du baiser convient le désir
de mettre en un ce qui était en deux.
L'un est très bon, mais l'autre vaut mieux.

About Bayser souvent
Imagine a convivial gathering in the French Renaissance, perhaps a feast or an intimate salon, where lighthearted secular chansons would fill the air. Pellegrune Symon's Bayser souvent is perfectly suited for such an occasion. This setting for SAAT and SATB voices, sung in French, explores the joys of kissing. The text exuberantly praises the pleasure of a kiss, suggesting that the union of two lovers through a kiss brings a bliss so profound it makes one forget death itself. The music likely reflects this joyful and passionate sentiment, making it an engaging choice for a choir looking for a spirited secular work from this era.
