Chevaliers de la table ronde by Katharina Goldmann — Lyrics
Chevaliers de la table ronde,
Goûtons voir si le vin est bon ;
Goûtons voir, oui, oui, oui,
Goûtons voir, non, non, non,
Goûtons voir si le vin est bon.
S'il est bon, s'il est agréable,
J'en boirai jusqu'à mon plaisir ;
J'en boirai, oui, oui, oui,

About Chevaliers de la table ronde
Imagine a convivial gathering, perhaps a summer festival or a lively pub night, where voices are raised in joyful song. Katharina Goldmann's setting of Chevaliers de la table ronde is ideal for such an occasion. This secular French folk song, arranged for SATB choir, celebrates the simple pleasures of life and good company. The text, opening with a call to taste the wine, expresses a desire for pleasure and a humorous wish for burial in a wine cellar should death arrive. Goldmann’s arrangement captures the spirit of this well-loved traditional tune, making it an engaging and spirited choice for choirs looking to add a touch of Gallic charm and good humour to their programmes. It's a piece that encourages a sense of shared merriment.
