Everyone knows "L'Après-midi d'un faun," right? Well, in the case of Debussy it was a tone poem for flute and orchestra. Mine is an actual setting of the Stéphane Mallarmé poem of the same title.

Even though the entire poem is in the voice of the 'faun,' who is a male, albeit half human-half goat, I decided that because the poem is so beautiful and seductive a soprano voice would do the words justice. 

I divided the poem into five parts. 

1. Ces nymphes, je les veux perpétuer ... 

2. O bords siciliens d'un marécage ... 

3. Tâche donc, instrument des fuites ... 

4. O nymphes, regonflons des Souvenirs divers ... 

5. Tant pis! vers le bonheur d'autres m'entraîneront ...
