En me oyant

This French chanson, likely from the Renaissance, is for SATB choir. The anonymous composer presents a witty text where the singer complains about being told to learn music theory, specifically the solfège syllables. Instead of practicing scales, the singer humorously claims they drink far too much already. The piece offers a light-hearted glimpse into contemporary attitudes, set in a simple four-part texture that would have been common for secular songs of the era. Its conversational tone and straightforward musical setting make it an engaging choice for choirs looking for accessible Renaissance repertoire.
