Je n'ay point plus d'affection by Claudin de Sermisy — Lyrics
Je n'ai point plus d'affection
que ce qu'il me plaît d'en avoir.
Et si ne porte passion
s'il ne me plaît la recevoir.

About Je n'ay point plus d'affection
Claudin de Sermisy's Je n'ay point plus d'affection is a secular French chanson for SATB choir. The text expresses a defiant independence in love, asserting that the singer's affections are entirely self-determined. They claim a mastery over their own will, free from the sway of external passion or fragile emotion. This song offers a charming example of Renaissance part-music, where the interplay of vocal lines supports the witty and self-possessed sentiments of the lyrics. It is ideal for choirs looking for a musically engaging and textually interesting French chanson from the period.
