Jean Mouton (before 1459 1522) Quis dabit oculis? This edition prepared for The Tallis Scholars Gimell
Quis dabit oculis nostris fontem lachrimarum? Et plorabimus die ac nocte coram domino? ritannia, quid ploras? Musica, cur siles? Francia, cur inducta lugubri veste, moerore consumeris? Heu nobis, domine, defecit nna, gaudium cordis nostri. Conversus est in luctum chorus noster, cecidit corona capitis nostri. Ergo ejulate pueri, plorate sacerdotes, ululate senes, lugete cantores, plangite nobiles, et dicite: nna requiescat in pace. men. Who will give to our eyes a well of tears? nd are we to weep, day and night, before the Lord? rittany, why do you lament? Music, why are you silent? France, why do you put on clothes of mourning, and waste away in sorrow? Woe to us, Lord, for nne, the joy of our hearts, is gone. Our song is turned into mourning, and the crown has fallen from our heads. Therefore, cry out in anguish, ye children; weep, ye priests; howl, ye old men; mourn, ye singers; lament, ye noblemen, and say: May nne rest in peace. men. Mouton was associated with the French royal court, where he served Queen nne of rittany, wife of Louis XII. This motet is a lament on her death in 1514.
