“Ma bouche chante, mon coeur pleure” was copied several times in the 16th century. Cornelius Canis’ version is a conventional sestet about love disappointment. It is similar to a text by Johannes Ockeghem “Ma bouche rit et ma pensée pleure.” This version was set to music in a modern way enjoyable for singers. The hemistichs are written in simple imitation motives sung by the different voices. Cornelius Canis laid emphasis on the word “douleur” (pain) being repeated several times by the three voices in nearly homophony.

Constanzo Festa was one of the most prolific composers, but he is still underestimated yet his music enhances every voice. The anonymous poetic texts are based on Francesco Petrarca’s ideas. They are a basis for the musician to set to music these strong and contrasted images of love, death and life. This song is very easy to sing thanks to the melodic flexibility and ranges’ comfort. You should sing it in a softly and lively way.
