Ilz ont en mesme temps mesme contentement by Andreas Pevernage — Lyrics
VIII
Deux que le trait d'Amour touche bien vivement,
N'ont rien qu'un seul penser, qu'un desir, qu'une flame:
Ce n'est dedans deux corps qu'un esprit et qu'une ame,
Et leur souverain bien gist en eux seulement.
Ils ont en mesme tans, mesme contentement,
Mesme ennuy d'un seul coup leurs poitrines entame,
Bref leur vie et leur mort pend d'une seule trame,

About Ilz ont en mesme temps mesme contentement
This French chanson by Andreas Pevernage is perfect for occasions celebrating love and unity. It depicts two lovers who share a single mind, desire, and spirit, their lives and fates intertwined as if they were a single entity. The text emphasizes that true love unites hearts, creating one will and one passion. Pevernage’s setting for two voices beautifully captures the intimate and unified sentiment of the poetry. Its straightforward SA voicing makes it an accessible yet expressive choice for a choir seeking to explore Renaissance secular part-music with a tender theme.
