Description
Poem by Rodenbach, with English translation by S N Solomons, music by D W Solomons
This arrangement was made for the Camara Trio in Chile: contralto with the instrumental trio of flute, guitar and cello
The song is in French for the first half and in English translation for the (repeated) second half.
The sound sample is an electronic preview but a live performance will replace it when it is recorded.
