Encore un coup by Bon Voisin — Lyrics
About Encore un coup
Bon Voisin's secular French part-song Encore un coup is a plea for another chance at love. The tenor sings to a lover, begging for a moment more, lest his heart break. He swears his love is true, invoking instant death should he be lying. The composer vividly captures the pathos of the lover's desperate appeal in this SATB setting. The music would suit a concert programme looking for a heartfelt yet energetic moment, showcasing the blend of the choir's voices in an earnest, dramatic expression.
