A song of South African origin that became popular in the 1960s, Le lion est mort ce soir (The Lion Slept Tonight) has become a true classic known to all. Its gentle rhythm and haunting melody appeal to all generations.
For choirs, Daniel Bonnet's three-part mixed (SAH) arrangement allows listeners to rediscover this iconic song in a harmonized version that is both accessible and rich in vocal texture.
Featured in the Choralies 2025 songbook, it is also included in the rediscovery program of the A Coeur Joie 2025-2026 association.
