Description: Arranged by Pierre-Louis Dietsch from the original chanson "Nous voyons que les hommes" composed by Jacques Arcadelt for female voices. The bass part in particular is entirely Dietsch's work. Various editors have changed barlines, note lengths, and word underlay to reflect what they considered correct Latin word stress.
