Description
Setting for alto and guitar of the poem by Du Bellay.
You can also see an English translation of the French in the preview, just for information (it is not a singing translation).

The mood of Du Bellay's poem is effectively and authentically portrayed in this music (it is in a totally different world from the "jolly" pop style versions of Georges Brassens and Ridan).

The sound sample is my own performance
