De peu assez by Jacob Buus — Lyrics
De peu assez à ci qui se contente,
De prou n’a rien celui qui n’est content.
Être content de peu est une rente
Qui vaut autant d’or et d’argent comptant.

About De peu assez
For secular occasions, Jacob Buus’s French chanson De peu assez is written for a large choir of six voices (SATTTB). The text, which speaks of contentment, argues that true wealth lies not in riches but in being satisfied with what one has. The composer’s setting emphasizes this message through rich harmonies and a jubilant overall mood. It is a perfect choice for a choir looking to explore the Renaissance chanson repertoire with a substantial and rewarding piece.
