About En ce gracieulx
On a fine May morning, when nature is reborn, a lover encounters a young woman and asks for a favour. She playfully questions his intentions, fearing he seeks to damage her reputation. He reassures her that such a beautiful month holds no danger. Jean Courtois's secular French chanson, En ce gracieulx, is set for a rich five-part choir of treble, tenor, and bass voices (STTTB). Its charming text paints a vivid picture of a lighthearted, courtly encounter, perfectly capturing the spirit of Renaissance secular part-music.
