| Comments: | Charles de Valois, Duke of Orleans, was the nephew of Charles VI, king of France,and the father of king Louis XII of France. "The poetry of Charles d'Orleans is unmatched in French for its combination of ease, grace and musicality with a glittering perfection of form that recalls the "goldsmith's work" he speaks of in his famous spring rondeau." (Introduction to French Poetry, a dual language book, page 16). This 'rondeau' is the famous spring rondeau: "The season has shed its mantle" (Le temps a laissé son manteau). There is no exact date, just mid-fifteen century (plus or minus 10 years). This song was recorded by Jacques Pottier, tenor, and is available on iTunes, Amazonmp3, Rhapsody and the other on-line digital music stores. This poem has also been set in music by Claude Debussy. |
