This Acadian folk song is accessible and can be used in a variety of settings (children’s choir, middle level treble, high school treble). It’s a lively piece in French that includes hand drum and triangle.
From Susan Brumfield:
“The original song has five stanzas and describes a conversation between a young woman and a nightingale who is bringing a message from the young woman’s love.”
