De ceans iusques by Pierre Certon — Lyrics
D'ici jusqu'à mon amie
je sais bien combien il y a de pas.
Cent fois je les ai fait en ma vie
mais jamais je n'en fus là.

About De ceans iusques
This French chanson by Pierre Certon, arranged for SATT voices, evokes the carefree spirit of a spring or summer day. The text expresses the singer's eager journey to see his beloved, undeterred by weather, finding beauty in her presence as swift as a swallow in flight. Certon's setting captures the light and lively character typical of secular Renaissance part-music, making it a delightful choice for a moment of lighthearted expression. The intimate voicing allows for clear articulation of the text, bringing this charming pastoral scene to life in performance.
