De tout mon coeur j'aime la marguerite by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
Original text
De tout mon cœur j'aime la marguerite
Et dis pour vrai combien qu'elle est petite
Qu'elle précède en bonté et valeur
Beauté, couleur toute autre plaisante fleur
Par quoi sur tout qui voudra s'en dépite
De tout mon cœur j'aime la marguerite.

About De tout mon coeur j'aime la marguerite
Orlando di Lasso's delightful chanson De tout mon coeur j'aime la marguerite would grace any secular concert programme. Sung in French by five voices (SATTB), it expresses a heartfelt devotion to the humble daisy. The composer praises its beauty and worth, declaring it superior to all other pleasant flowers. This piece showcases Lasso's mastery of Renaissance part-music, weaving intricate vocal lines into a charming and expressive whole. It offers a wonderful opportunity for choirs to explore the lighter, more poetic side of this prolific composer's output.
