About L'ardant desir
The fervent longing for his beloved plunges the singer into deep sorrow, as the text expresses. He fears that if his love is not returned, he will have no choice but to end his life. Nicole Regnes sets this dramatic text for SATB choir, treating the words with a sensitive musical touch. This chansons offers a rich harmonic landscape suitable for a concert programme of secular repertoire. The composer’s approach to the text underscores the intensity of emotion conveyed in the French lyrics, creating a compelling emotional arc for the choir and its listeners.
