De ce brandon by Gentian — Lyrics
Vénus a bien sûr essayé de m'oppresser
avec cette torche, qui enflamme tant de coeurs.
Mais cette foisci, je me suis défendu contre ce coup,

About De ce brandon
A fine example of the French chanson, this secular work for ATTB voices sets a text that speaks of love and resistance. The words describe the poet's struggle against the oppressive flames of Venus, finding strength and solace in the memory of his beloved. He recounts how, by recalling her sweetness, he was able to fight back with confidence and extinguish the 'fire of the wounder.' The composer Gentian crafts a musical setting that would grace any concert programme or celebration where chansons are appreciated.
