En esperant souvent by Pierre de Manchicourt — Lyrics
En esperant souvent espoir m'asseure,
tant que lespoir me rend attente seure
de parvenir bientost a mon entente,
d'aultre coste desespoir me presente
faible secours que me desasseure.

About En esperant souvent
Pierre de Manchicourt was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance. En esperant souvent is a secular French chanson for four voices, STTB. The text expresses a hopeful anticipation of achieving one's desires, despite the presence of despair that offers little comfort. The composer skilfully sets this theme of fluctuating emotions, weaving a rich contrapuntal texture that reflects the inner conflict and persistent hope described in the lyrics.
