Trois Chansons de Charles d’Orléans

Claude Debussy’s Trois Chansons de Charles d’Orléans is his only piece for a cappella choir, composed between 1898 and 1908. These pieces are settings of texts by the 15th-century French poet Charles d’Orléans (1394–1465), whose lyrical and elegant verse captures themes of love, melancholy, and nature with a distinctly medieval charm. Debussy’s signature harmonic colors blend with Renaissance-inspired textures in this flute choir arrangement suitable for advanced ensembles.
