Edition notes: Musica ficta clearly indicated (probably more generous than necessary or advisable). The Canon (Quintus) on the Superius is pitched a diatonic step below the Superius. With these two voices and the Contratenor frequently overlapping in range, this creates a very rich texture.

General Information

Title: Dont vient cela
Composer: Thomas Crecquillon
Lyricist: Clément Marot , Chanson XIV, l'Adolescence Clementine (1532)

Number of voices: 5vv   Voicing: SSATB

Genre: SecularChanson

Language: French
Instruments: a cappella
Published: 1st published by Tielman Susato in Antwerp, 1543: Vingt et six chansons musicales et nouvelles à cinq parties

Description: This is five-voiced setting with four parts, the superius being a canon. Same melody is used as in the original setting of Claudin De Sermisy. The canon has to start and stop at the indicated place, only a 'secunde' lower... (at C instead of D) without transpositon of course, which results in perfect harmony but an 'estrangement' of the melody, just as Crecquillons tip suggested: Chanter vous fault estrangement: You have to sing strangely.

French.png French text (modernized French)

D'où vient cela, Belle, je vous supplie
Que plus à moi ne vous recommandez ?
Toujours serai de tristesse rempli
Jusques à tant qu'au vrai le me mandez.
Je crois que plus d'Ami ne demandez,
Ou mauvais bruit de moi on vous révèle,
Ou votre coeur a fait amour nouvelle.
