About Deux chansons enfantines de France
This collection of two French children's songs by Jorge Moreira offers a charming addition to a choir's secular repertoire. Both arrangements for SATB choir are sung in the original French. The first song, "Sur le pont d'Avignon", is a lively and familiar French folk song about dancing on the bridge in Avignon, its cheerful melody and simple text evoking a sense of carefree fun. The second song, "Dans les jardins de mon père", presents a more lyrical and gentle picture of a father's garden, where lilacs bloom and birds build their nests, all while expressing the simple pleasure of being near one's beloved.
