'''Description:''' Lassus's setting of a popular song telling the story of Susannah and the elders. The 2nd tenor part follows the tenor of [[Susanne un jour (Didier Lupi second)|Didier Lupi's setting]] of Guéroult's text. Lassus used his chanson as the model of a [[Missa Susanne un jour (Orlando di Lasso)|Mass]], a [[Magnificat Susanne un jour (Orlando di Lasso)|Magnificat]] and a [[Nunc dimittis Susanne un jour (Orlando di Lasso)|Nunc dimittis]]. Other parody masses based on this setting include those by [[Missa Susanna (Giovanni Valentini)|Giovanni Valentini]] and [[Missa Susanne un giour (Marco Antonio Ingegneri)|Marco Antonio Ingegneri]]. He also published different setting of a German translation of the text, [[Susannen fromm (Orlando di Lasso)|Susannen fromm]].<br>
'''Differences between editions:'''
The first edition of this chanson differs from the subsequent publications regarding musica ficta. (I checked ''1566'' (reprint of 1560), ''1570'', ''Les Meslanges d'Orlande de Lassus'' 1576 and ''La Fleur des chansons d'Orlande de Lassus'' 1592.<br>
''Superius measure 36''. The 1566 edition has a sharp sign before the B (means B natural). All subsequent editions have no sharp sign.<br>
''Contratenor measure 13''. The 1566 edition has F sharp and E flat, also in measures 26-27. (The Superius has E natural in both cases). Subsequent editions have F natural and E natural.<br>
''Contratenor measure 32''. The 1566 edition has F sharp. Subsequent editions have F natural.<br>
A recording by Arianna Savall uses the 1566 edition (available on YouTube). Other recordings maintain only the F sharp in the Contratenor in measure 32, but drop the other accidentals peculiar to the 1566 edition.

Susanne un jour d'amour solicitée
Par deux viellardz, convoitans sa beauté,
Fust en son coeur triste et desconfortée,
Voyant l’effort fait à sa chasteté.
Elle leur dict, Si par desloyauté
De ce corps mien vous avez jouissance,
C’est fait de moy. Si ie fay resistance,
Vous me ferez mourir en deshonneur.
Mais j’aime mieux périr en innocence,
Que d’offenser par peché le Seigneur.
}}
 
{{Translation|English|
One day, Susanne's love was solicited by
Two old men coveting her beauty.
She became sad and displeased in her heart,
Seeing the attempt at her chastity.
She said : 'If, dishonourably,
From my body you take pleasure,
This is done to me. If I resist,
You would make me die in disgrace.
But I would rather perish innocent,
Than to offend the Lord with a sin.}}
