"A chanson (US: /ʃæn.sʌn/, UK: /ʃɑːŋ.ˈsɔːŋ/; French: [ʃɑ̃sɔ̃], "song", from Latin cantio, gen. cantionis) is in general any lyric-driven French song, usually polyphonic and secular. A singer specializing in chansons is known as a "chanteur" or, if a woman, a "chanteuse"; a collection of chansons, especially from the Middle Ages or Renaissance, is a chansonnier." - (en.wikipedia.org 27.09.2020)
