J'ai baisé m'amye by Claude Martin — Lyrics
J'ai baisé mon amie à mon aise,
et tenu nue à ma mercie.
Mais mon coeur ne s'appaise
et, ce qui plus est, mon souci croît.

About J'ai baisé m'amye
Imagine a lively gathering in Renaissance France, perhaps a courtly entertainment or a convivial supper. Claude Martin's chansons offer a perfect fit for such occasions. J'ai baisé m'amye, for STTB voices, is a secular work that captures the spirit of the era. The French text speaks of a lover's intimate moment, yet hints at an unfulfilled desire and a secret joy. Martin’s setting, with its clear part-writing and melodic charm, provides an engaging musical expression of these tender sentiments, making it an ideal choice for choirs looking to explore the rich tradition of French secular polyphony.
