The Flemish folk song Ik zag Cecilia komen is recorded in Chants Populaires des Flamands de France, collected and published by the jurist/musicologist Edmond De Coussemaker (1805 – 1876). The song itself is already mentioned in 1652.
The song gives voice to the flourishing love between Cecilia and the shepherd Floriaan.
The guitarist JM van den Langenberg made the arrangement.
