New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

Madrigal dans le style ancien
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ITA SPA
Qui jamais fut de plus charmant visage,
De col plus blanc, de cheveux plus soyeux;
Qui jamais fut de plus gentil corsage,
Qui jamais fut que ma Dame aux doux yeux!

Qui jamais eut lèvres plus souriantes,
Qui souriant rendit coeur plus joyeux,
Plus chaste sein sous guimpos transparentes,
Qui jamais eut que ma Dame aux doux yeux!

Qui jamais eut voix d'un plus doux entendre,
Mignonnes dents qui bouche emperlent mieux;
Qui jamais fut de regarder si tendre,
Qui jamais fut que ma Dame aux doux yeux!
