C/'est en amour

Thomas Crecquillon's C'est en amour is a secular French chanson for SATTB choir. This piece would be ideal for an intimate concert setting or a Renaissance music programme. The text speaks of the enduring pain of separation from a loved one, a theme Crecquillon captures with expressive vocal writing. The composer's skill in setting words to music is evident as the voices weave together, conveying the lover's profound sorrow and longing. The gentle flow of the music mirrors the passage of time, emphasizing the slow endurance of the unhappy lover's suffering.
