Dung nouveau cas by Robert Meigret — Lyrics
D'un nouveau cas, ma belle, je m'émerveille:
c'est qu'en rêve, je pense toujours à vous,
croyant baiser votre bouche vermeille.

About Dung nouveau cas
Robert Meigret's secular chanson, Dung nouveau cas, is a four-part setting for SATB voices. The music opens with an expressive depiction of the text's central dream-like state. The composer crafts a delicate interplay between the voices, creating a sense of wonder and affection. The lyrics describe a marvellous new case: the singer's constant thought of his beloved, even in dreams, believing he kisses her red lips. The pleasure he derives from this imagined embrace is so intense that it awakens him. Meigret's setting captures the tender longing and sweet intoxication of the text with graceful melodic lines and harmonic richness, characteristic of French chansons of the period.
