Hommes expers by Antoine Cartier — Lyrics
About Hommes expers
Antoine Cartier's Hommes expers is a secular French chanson for STTB voices. The text playfully argues against the notion that kissing Diana is worse than death. The singer insists that their own experience contradicts this, finding that when their lips meet Diana's, all hardship vanishes. Far from being deadly, the experience of her kiss transforms death into life. This piece is a fine example of Renaissance part-music, offering a witty and charming exploration of love's power.
