This sheet music was composed by Clément Janequin for four voices. It was published by Pierre Attaignant in 1529. This is one of the most sung songs of the composer, that’s why we published a new version of it with today’s norms and customs from this type of repertoire. It is very close to contemporary dances and songs. The declamation of the text is made by three or four voices alternates with a note to note counterpoint. The writing is vertical, and the voices don’t imitate each other. This is a sheet music with the joyful atmosphere typical of May.
