Elle craint cela by Clément Janequin — Lyrics
Elle craint surtout rien, qu'on la chatouille par le bas.
Toutefois, elle parle bas, et si n'est pas chiche du sien,
si on lui dit "tiens, tiens, tiens", par la fois,
ce n'est pas son cas, elle craint cela.

About Elle craint cela
Perfect for a lighter moment in a concert programme, Clément Janequin's secular chanson Elle craint cela is a witty setting of a French text. The four-part SATT choir brings to life a playful narrative, suggesting a woman's amusingly coy reaction to being tickled. Janequin's mastery of word-painting is evident as the music mirrors the text's teasing and slightly risqué subject matter. The chanson's engaging melody and clear homophonic texture make it an accessible and enjoyable piece for both performers and audience, capturing the spirit of Renaissance secular part-music with delightful charm.
