Ce qui pour moy

This charming French chanson for STTB voices opens with a gentle interplay between the upper and lower voices, creating a conversational texture. Claude Goudimel sets a secular text that advises against paying heed to jealous detractors in matters of love. The music reflects the lighthearted yet resolute sentiment of the lyrics, encouraging perseverance in affection despite external criticism. It is a delightful example of Renaissance part-music, where the voices blend to convey both the musical ideas and the pastoral wit of the French Renaissance chanson tradition.
