De jour en jour by Tielman Susato — Lyrics
De jour en jour tu me fais consumer
te regardant foi d'amour et de loyauté.
Que plût à Dieu avoir été sommé.
Alors que fus surpris de ta beauté.

About De jour en jour
This charming French chanson, De jour en jour, comes from the collection of dances and songs published by Tielman Susato in the mid-16th century. It is set for three voices (soprano, tenor, tenor) and speaks of love and longing. The text describes the singer consumed by love, pleading with their beloved not to be cruel but to grant them favour. This piece would suit a concert programme of Renaissance secular music, offering a moment of expressive beauty and elegant vocal writing. Its clarity of line and direct emotional appeal make it an engaging choice for choirs seeking to explore the chansons of this vibrant period.
