JAMAIS JE N'AIMERAI GRAND HOMME
(Your Haughty Heart)

performance time: approx. :40/ verse

Pierre Attaingnant (c. 1494-c.1552), a French music printer, publisher, bookseller, punchcutter, and typecaster, invented a method of printing music in which staff- segments and notes were combined so that both could be printed in a single impression. Because this new technique allowed the cost to be cut in half, it became the initial international system of music printing, establishingAttaingnant as the first music publisher to achieve a true mass-production.

As early as 1527, Attaingnant's patron, King Francis I, issued him royalprotection to prevent others from copying the contents of his books, many ofwhich contain chansons of leading composers of the time, including Sermisy,Janequin, Certon, Gombert, Arcadelt, Verdelot, and Willaert.

Jamais je n'aimerai grand homme, an anonymous Parisian chanson, is included as No.33 in THIRTY-SIX MUSICAL SONGS IN FOUR PARTS, published by Attaingnant in 1530.
