Je vois plusieurs by Jean Larchier — Lyrics
Old French
Je vois plusieurs en acoutant
en se plaidant de leur amie.
Quant est a moi je suis content
et le serai toute ma vie.
La mien'est honnesté
plus que je ne l'ai mérité:
du scavoir et de la graceje ne vois dame qui la passe.

About Je vois plusieurs
Jean Larchier's chansons typically explore themes of love and courtly life. In Je vois plusieurs, the composer contrasts the complaints of others about their lovers with his own contentment. The text praises his beloved, highlighting her honesty, knowledge, and grace, suggesting she is unmatched. This setting for SAATB voices captures the lighthearted yet sincere sentiment of the French Renaissance secular song. Larchier's music likely offers a charming and elegant exploration of these lyrical ideas, suitable for a choir seeking repertoire from this vibrant period.
