Il n'est que d'estre by Claude Gervaise — Lyrics
Il n'est que d'être sur l'herbette
en ce joli vert mois de mai.
Avoir près de soi son amie
puis en riant planter le mai.

About Il n'est que d'estre
Claude Gervaise’s Il n’est que d’estre is a charming secular chanson for four-part men’s voices (STTB). The music immediately evokes a sense of lightheartedness and ease, with each voice part contributing to a gently flowing texture. The text, in French, paints a picture of idyllic springtime enjoyment. It speaks of being out on the grass in the lovely month of May, with a loved one nearby, laughing and celebrating the arrival of spring. The composer captures this pastoral scene with music that is graceful and melodically appealing, making it a delightful addition to any concert programme.
