De ceans iusques chez m'amye by Clément Janequin — Lyrics
De chez moi jusque chez mon amie
je sais bien combien il y a de pas.
Cent fois je les ai fait en ma vie
mais jamais n'en fut fatigué.
Qu'il pleuve ou qu'il vente,

About De ceans iusques chez m'amye
Clément Janequin's De ceans iusques chez m'amye is a four-part French chanson for SATT voices. The music vividly captures the ardour of the lover, whose journey to his beloved is undertaken with ceaseless energy, regardless of the weather. The text expresses a deep devotion, where the sight of his beloved makes any hardship insignificant. Janequin's skill in word painting is evident as the music swells with the joy of the encounter, a testament to the secular part-music tradition of the Renaissance.
