Fuyons tous d'amour

This delightful French chanson by Jean de Castro offers a moment of lighthearted dismissal of romantic entanglement. Sung by SAT voices, the text playfully advises fleeing the game of love as one would flee fire. The singer declares indifference to women and ladies, finding no reward in their pursuit and even finding them unbearable. It paints a picture of a carefree gathering, perhaps at a convivial social event or a moment of lighthearted reflection, where the choir can revel in the witty text and elegant melodic lines. The secular nature of the song makes it a charming addition to a program of Renaissance part-music.
