Je ne suis point amoureux

This charming French chanson by Pierre Certon paints a vivid scene of genuine affection. The text reveals a man who is not given to fleeting infatuations but has found a singular love. He expresses his deep devotion to his chosen beloved, wishing for their lives to be intertwined, so that their joys and sorrows might be shared, and their lives end in unison. The ATTB voicing offers a rich, sonorous texture, perfectly suited to this heartfelt declaration of enduring love from the Renaissance secular tradition.
