C'est la fin

Guillaume d'Amiens was a composer of the late medieval period. This secular virelai in French features a solo voice. The text, C'est la fin, expresses a declaration of enduring love despite what others may say. The singer asserts their intention to love, finding joy in meadows alongside their beloved. It is a simple yet passionate statement, characteristic of the lyricism found in the virelai form, a rondeau-like French poetic and musical form of the 14th and 15th centuries.
