Description

Instrumental arrangement (with embellishments)
of a canon by Orlando di Lasso

(Original words)
Dis-moi, beau printemps,
pour qui sont ces fleurs et ces chansons,
La lune blanche dans l’étang,
Les nids blottis dans les taillis ?
De ta beauté, de tes parfums ne nous lassons.

English singing translation:

Tell me, lovely Spring,
Now whom are these flowers and songs for?
The white moon shining in the pool
The nests are hidden in the woods
Let us not tire of your beauty and perfumes.
