French composer Claude Debussy was famed for his colouristic orchestral canvases and an uncanny facility for making the piano sound like an orchestra, too. In "Trois chansons de Charles d'Orléans", he created the same magical effects for an ensemble of unaccompanied voices, painting nearly tangible moods and textures. This one, "Lord! how lovely you have made her!", is as gentle and sensuous as the woman it describes.
