Jep Dillentent by Valentin Haussmann — Lyrics
Jep Dillentent,
derselbe fent,
wenn ihr ihn kennt
bey Jungfer Jütten sasz allein,
das düncket ihn sehr hübsch und fein.
In solcher ehr,
gedachte er,
bald hin, bald her,
was er wolt brauchen nur für wort,
die bey der Liebn weren gehort.

About Jep Dillentent
Valentin Haussmann's Jep Dillentent paints a playful scene of courtship. The text, sung in German, describes a suitor, Jep, who is alone with a maiden, Jütte. He ponders what words might please her, eventually asking if she is eating bacon, to which she laughingly responds. The music for this secular German madrigal is set for two sopranos and a tenor (SST). The composer's musical setting captures the lighthearted, somewhat humorous nature of the interaction, making it an engaging piece for a small vocal ensemble.
