About Doulce mémoire
Tielman Susato was a prominent Franco-Flemish composer and music printer of the Renaissance. This three-part chanson, Doulce mémoire, exemplifies the secular part-music of its era. The music is likely to have been popular in its day, intended for performance in social settings. The French text speaks of sweet memories and the joys of love, reflecting the typical themes of secular chansons.
