Je ne menge point de porc by Claudin de Sermisy — Lyrics
Je ne mange point de porc.
Le porc a condition telle que je vous vois dire,
S'il a mangé cent étrons, il ne s'en fera que rire.
Il les tourne, il les vire, il leur rit et puis les mord.
Je ne mange point de porc.

About Je ne menge point de porc
Claudin de Sermisy was a prominent French composer of the Renaissance, known for his secular chansons. This work, Je ne menge point de porc, is a four-part setting for SATB voices. The text is in French and humorously details the composer's aversion to eating pork, using a rather scatological anecdote to illustrate his point. The chanson offers a glimpse into the lighter, often witty, lyrical content common in secular music of the period. Its direct and memorable melody makes it a charming example of the genre.
