Summary:
"Sébastien Le Camus, a theorbo and treble viol player at the French Court, was also a frequent performer in the salons of seventeenth-century Parisian society. This posthumous collection of thirty-two airs for one or two voices and continuo, published by his son in 1678, represents a concluding chapter in a century of development of the air de cour. The music shows the influence of Italian music and that of the composer's French contemporaries Jean-Baptiste Lully and Michel Lambert." -- Provided by publisher.
Contents:
Que vous flattez mes rêveries!
Laissez durer la nuit
Ah! fuyons ce dangereux séjour
Amour, cruel Amour
Ah! que vous êtes heureux!
On n'aime plus dans ces bocages
Bois écarté, lieu solitaire
Un berger plus beau que le jour
Délices des étés
Parmi le verd naissant
De toutes les beautés
Vous m'aimez, dites-vous
Il n'est rien dans la vie
Forêts solitaires et sombres
Je passais de tranquilles jours
Qu'une longue tiédeur ennuie
Non, il n'est pas en mon pouvoir
Que ma bergère est belle!
Pleurez, pleurez, mes yeux, pleurez
Quand l'amour veut finir
Vous serez les témoins de mes vives douleurs
Que les jaloux transports
Que ta voix divine me touche!
Iris, depuis que je vous aime
Que ces prés sont charmants et verds
Lorsque Tircis sût m'engager
Des beaux jours du printemps
Forêts, lieux écartés
Que j'aime encore ce beau séjour
On n'entend rien dans ce bocage
L'Hiver, comme l'été
Fuyons cette rive charmante.
