- 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.

- Pse. 35 : du second mode plagal. Deba contre mes debateurs ; De honte soyent tous esperdus ; Tous chemins soyent glissans pour eux ; Soit le meschant à despourveu ; Lors diront tous les os de moi ; Le mal pour le bien m'ont rendu ; J'alloi courbé, comme feroit ; Contre moi ont grincé les dents ; Sus, je te benirai mon Dieu ; Car de nois' ils parlent tousjours ; Seigneur tu les as veu aussi ; Et qu'ils n'aillent disans entr' eux ; Mais tout plaisir puiss' advenir
- Pse. 45 : du troisiesme mode. Propos exquis faut que de mon coeur sorte ; O le plus fort que rencontrer on puisse ; Tes dards luisans et tes sagettes belles ; De tes habits les plis ne sentent qu'ambre ; Escoute fill' en beauté nompareille ; Peuples de Tyr, peuples pleins de richesses ; Ne plain donc point de laisser mer' et pere
- Pse. 23 : du quatriesme mode. Mon Dieu me paist sous sa puissance haute ; Si seurement, que quand au val viendroye ; Tu oins mon chef d'huiles et senteurs bonnes.
