Commissioned by Alison Smart Fisher and Katharine Durran as part of their New French Song II project, Seulette Suis sets the French medieval writer Christine de Pisan. It's simple and mournful, with a spacious, eerie piano part.
Seulette suis et seulette veux être,
Seulette m'a mon doux ami laissée.
Seulette suis, sans compagnon ni maître,
Seulette suis, dolente et courroucée,
Seulette suis, en langueur malaisée,
Seulette suis, plus que nulle égarée,
Seulette suis, sans ami demeurée.
Christine de Pisan
Alone am I, and alone do I want to be,
Alone has my sweet friend left me,
Alone am I, without friend nor master,
Alone am I, mournful and wrathful,
Alone am I, in an uncomfortable languor,
Alone am I, more confused than anyone,
Alone am I, and I remain without a friend.
translated by Jemima L. Hodgkinson
Seulette Suis was premiered by Alison Smart Fisher and Katharine Durran at ... and recorded by them on their album New French Song II (Divine Art Recordings, 2025).
