Iamais ung cueur by Pierre de Manchicourt — Lyrics
Iamais ung cueur qui d'amour est navre,
ne peult avoir de son mal allegance
s'il nest par elle mesmement delivre
que de navrer ou guerir a puissance.

About Iamais ung cueur
The French text of this chanson expresses the idea that a heart wounded by love can find no relief unless delivered by the very one who has the power to wound or heal it. Pierre de Manchicourt, a composer of the Franco-Flemish school, sets this sentiment for SATT voices. As a secular chanson from the Renaissance, it exemplifies the part-music of its era, with its intricate vocal lines and expressive harmonic language.
