Title: Trouvaille – a chance encounter with something wonderful.
Composer Notes & Lyrics:
Like most of the vocals, this started out with a chord progression and then the melody emerged to swing this song for Jazz Ensemble. Once the title was settled to truly embrace the feel of the song, the lyrics spoke to Trouvaille with a twist.
TROUVAILLE LYRICS:
It’s Trouvaille, I feel it, in the right place at the right time
It’s Trouvaille, that someone, and you know they are a great find
It’s Trouvaille, c-r-a-z-y, lucky by and by, livin’ like Versailles
Once you find it, you will admit, it’s all that, sheer benefit, you’ve got a hit
More than get by, legit, my breathing space, me time
Now eye to eye, undone, adagio, spellbound
Here’s the secret to Trouvaille from someone who has looked forever
A lucky find is rarely lucky, it’s seen with discerning eyes
Then there is time, oh so rare
Trouvaille time is always precious, never wasted, truly priceless
Trouvaille people are a treasure, what a great find, so rare
No matter what, there for you, lift you up and hold you close
Trouvaille places more than scenic, make you feel like all are welcome
Breeze filled with hope, flowering dreams
Sounds of joy and optimism
It’s Trouvaille, more than get by, give it a try, revivify, make it your vibe
Aurify, dulcify, gratify
A lucky find is Trouvaille
It’s seen with discerning eyes
Trouvaille luck, make it your own, concentrate, meditate, contemplate, cantillate
Trouvaille luck, bring it on home, concentrate, meditate, contemplate, cantillate
Create encounters, shape discoveries, serendipitous
Here, in this now, it’s Trouvaille
