Borée |
Un seul de vos regards pourrait charmer les Dieux. |
One glance of yours alone could charm the Gods. |
Par tout vous allumez une secrette flamme : |
Everywhere you light a secret flame: |
Ne pourra-t-on jamais faire naître en vôtre âme |
Will no one ever rouse in your soul |
L’amour que l’on prend dans vos yeux ? |
The love that we reap from your eyes? |
Veronika Anissimova |
“Jacquet de La Guerre’s original score was most likely written in five parts, after the tradition established by Lully. As only Ballard’s partition reduite survives, however, only the upper two instrumental parts and the basse continue are extant.” IMSLP
