Dictes vous que ne scay faire

From the composer des Fruz, Dictes vous que ne scay faire is a secular French chanson for four voices, STTT. The text tells a humorous, slightly risqué story of a priest and his gossip, their playful encounter, and the sounds emanating from their bed. The composer’s setting captures the playful and teasing spirit of the lyric, making it a delightful choice for a concert program seeking engaging Renaissance part-music. Its direct and witty narrative, coupled with the intricate vocal interplay typical of the genre, offers a lighthearted yet musically rich experience for both performers and listeners.
