Je ne fus jamais si aise by Pierre Certon — Lyrics
Je ne fus jamais si aise
que j’ai été depuis trois jours,
j’ai dansé tout à mon aise,
au son des fifres et tambours.
Ah! Mon ami, et la la la,

About Je ne fus jamais si aise
The French Renaissance chanson Je ne fus jamais si aise captures a moment of pure joy and carefree abandon. The text expresses delight in dancing for three days to the sound of fifes and drums, an image of exuberant celebration. Pierre Certon’s setting is written for two distinct vocal ensembles: SSA and STB. This piece offers directors the chance to explore contrasting vocal colours and textures, bringing this lively scene of secular pleasure to life through carefully crafted vocal lines.
