Waelrant's Volume Of Nine Madrigals And Eleven Chansons Was One Of The Earliest Publications In Antwerp To Include Italian Madrigals. With Their Rich Five-part Texture, The Madrigals Resemble In Style The Early Madrigals Of Lasso. The Chansons, Which Range From The Light-hearted To The Serious, Are Waelrants's Only Five-part French Pieces. -- E Mi Par D'hor In Hor' Undir' Il Messo -- Moys Amoureux, Moys Vestu De Verdure -- Sento L'aura Mi' Antica, E I Dolci Colli -- Une Pastorelle Gentille -- Amor Piangev' E Io Con Luy Tal Volta -- Ogni Giorno Mi Par Più Di Mill'anni -- Dictes Ouy Ma Dame Ma Maistresse -- Questa Fera Gentil Che Scherz' E Fugge -- D'amours Me Va Tout Au Rebours -- Chius'er' Il Sol D'un Tenebroso Velo -- Si Je Maintiens Ma Vie Seulement -- Ahi Dispietat' Amor Come Consenti -- Souvent Au Joly Moys De May -- Ferma Speranz' E Fe Pur' E Sincera -- Or Suis Je Bien Au Pire -- Un Jour Passé Bien Escoutoye -- Volo Con L'ali Di Pensier' Al Cielo -- De Tout Mon Coeur T'exalteray -- De Tout Mon Coeur J'ayme La Marguerite -- Soyons Playsantz Encore Demiheure.
