De tous biens plaine

The text expresses that the singer's beloved is full of all good things and deserves honour, for she is abundantly endowed with virtue. Alexander Agricola's setting of this French secular poem for three voices (ATB) captures the gentle lament of unrequited love. Agricola was a significant composer of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, working in the Franco-Fleshan style, and this chanson exemplifies the elegant, imitative part-writing characteristic of the era. The clear, melodious lines and graceful harmony make it an attractive programme choice for choirs looking to explore Renaissance secular vocal music.
