Guillaume Costeley 'Allon, Gay, Gay, Gay Bergères'

Guillaume Costeley (1530, possibly 1531 -- January 28, 1606) was a French composer of the Renaissance. He was the court organist to Charles IX of France and famous for his numerous chansons, which were representative of the late development of the form; his work in this regard was part of the early development of the style known as musique mesurée. He was also one of very few 16th century French composers of music for keyboard. In addition, he was a founding member of the Académie de Poésie et de Musique along with poet Jean-Antoine de Baïf, and he was one of the earliest composers to experiment with microtonal composition.'Allon, Gay, Gay, Gay Bergères'Refrain Allon, gay, gay, gay, Bergeres, Allon, gay, soyez legeres, Suyvez moy. 1. Allon, allon voir le Roy, Qui du ciel en terre est nay, Allon, gay ... 2. Un beau present luy feray, De quoy? De ce flageollet que j'ay tant gay. Allon, gay ... 3. Un gâteau luy donneray, Et moy, Plain hanap luy offriray, Gay, gay! Allon, gay ... 4. Ho, ho! Paix-la! Je le voy; Il tette bien sans le doigt, le petit Roy! Coda Allon, gay, gay, gay Bergeres, Allon, gay, soyez legeres, Le Roy boit! 'Allon, Gay, Gay, Gay Bergères'Refrain Let's go gaily, Shepherdesses, Let's go gaily, be light, follow me. 1. Let's go see the King, Who from heaven is born on Earth. Let's go gaily ... 2. I'll make him an attractive present, of what? This tin whistle that I have, so gay. Let's go gaily ... 3. I will give him a cake. And me, I'll offer him a full drinking cup. Let's go gaily ... 4. Oh, oh, hush! I see him; He's nursing well, not with his thumb, the little King! Coda Let's go gaily, Shepherdesses Let us go gaily, be light, the King is drinking! Robert Shaw Chamber SingersDir : Robert Shaw
