Faites, s'il vous plaît,
votre aumône à ce pélerin étranger
qui n'a ni maille ni dénier.

About Faictes si vous plaist
Imagine a medieval traveler, perhaps on a cold winter's night, seeking a moment's respite. This French chanson, Faictes si vous plaist, offers a poignant narrative from the perspective of such a pilgrim. The text pleads for charity, describing the traveler's destitution and the potential hardship if no aid is given. The composer Decapella crafts this plea for a SATB choir, setting the secular French lyrics in a style that evokes the spirit of the chansons of the Renaissance. The simple yet heartfelt message is delivered with vocal harmony, making it suitable for a consort of voices to bring this historical plea to life.
