Summary:

"The Dodecacorde (1598) represents the culmination of Le Jeune's career in a masterly integration of polyphonic style and musique mesureé. Newly edited from the original partbooks and provided with complete prose translations of the French texts, the present publication makes accessible to both scholars and performers a remarkable repertory of sacred polyphony previously unavailable in modern score. This edition presents Le Jeune's twelve psalm settings (on Psalms 138, 35, 45, 23, 102, 51, 124, 60, 46, 76, 72, and 110, one in each mode) that use texts and melodies from the Genevan Psalter as canti firmi." -- Provided by publisher.

Contents:

Pse. 102 : du cinquiesme mode. Seigneur enten ma requeste ; Car ma vi' est consumee ; Mes os et ma peau se tiennent ; Comme durant son vefvage ; Au lieu de pain la poussiere ; Mes jours passent comm' un' ombre ; Tu te releveras donques ; Car jusqu'aux pierres d'icelle ; Car Sion toute desfaite ; En registre sera mise ; Car le Seigneur debonnaire ; A fin que de Dieu la gloire ; Voyant ma forc' amortie ; La terr' as fait' et assise ; Comm' une robe qu'on porte ; Et pourtant selon ta grace

Pse. 51 : du sixiesme mode. Misericord' au povre vicieux ; Car de regret mon coeur vit en esmoi ; Helas! je sai, et si l'ai tousjours seu ; D'hysope donc par toi purgé serai ; Tu as eu l'oeil assez sur mes forfaits ; De ton regard je ne soy' reculé ; Lors seulement ne suyvrai tes sentiers ; Ha! Seigneur Dieu, ouvre mes levres donc ; Le sacrific' agreable' et bien pris

Pse. 124 : du septiesme mode. Or peut bien dir' Israël maintenant ; Pieça fussions vifs devorez par eux ; Par dessus nous leurs gros et forts torrens ; Comme l'oiseau du filé se desfait.
