Dieu! qu'il la fait bon regarder! by Claude Debussy — Lyrics
Dieu! qu'il la fait bon regarder
la gracieuse bonne et belle;
pour les grans biens que sont en elle
chascun est prest de la loüer.
Qui se pourrait d'elle lasser?
Toujours sa beauté renouvelle.

About Dieu! qu'il la fait bon regarder!
Claude Debussy's Dieu! qu'il la fait bon regarder! is a delightful secular chanson for SATB choir. The French text, a love poem, expresses adoration for a beautiful woman, celebrating her graces and virtues. The composer captures the essence of the words with music that is both elegant and expressive, typical of his masterful setting of French poetry. The part-writing allows the choir to create a rich and nuanced sound, bringing the medieval sensibility of the text to life in a way that is uniquely Debussy's. It offers a charming and sophisticated addition to any concert program, showcasing the beauty of both the French language and choral composition.
