Ce qu'il me faict by Ebran — Lyrics
Ce qui me rend si aisément jaloux
sâche que c'est ta grâce, mon amie.
Et que me voit par dessus tout
avoir atteint un but où chacun porte envie.
O, mon seul bien, d'où dépend ma vie,

About Ce qu'il me faict
This four-part French chanson by Ebran is a secular work from the tradition of Renaissance part-music. The text expresses the singer's gratitude to his beloved for her grace, which has led him to a state of enviable happiness. He reassures her that his intense affection stems from her own goodness and his deep devotion. Despite his contentment, the text concludes with a poignant observation on the nature of love: 'But one always fears what one cherishes.' The composer masterfully uses the SATB voicing to convey the nuanced emotions of desire, contentment, and underlying anxiety inherent in the poetic sentiments.
