In the 1880s Fauré discovered the poetry of Paul Verlaine, which found its expression in the song cycle La Bonne Chanson (1892/93), upon which the present transcription of La Lune blanche is based. In this cycle Fauré pursued the plan to condense the songs into a cycle through thematic development. The cycle entitled Mirages was composed in 1919. In the last song, Danseuse, Fauré reduces the music to a bare rhythmic ostinato, which is maintained with slight alterations throughout the entire song. The frequent clashes of seconds in the harmony have not been softened in the transcription, for they lend the music a certain painful expression.

Widely acclaimed by music lovers for over a century, Selected Songs of Gabriel Faure (1845-1924) are here collected into an anthology, complete with an audio version in the form of a download card. Excerpted from the 1st collection published in 1879, Au bord de l?eau and Ici bas bestow an aura of internal reverie on Sully Prudhomme?s simple poems, made palpable by the harmonic refinement and vocal fluidity that constitutes the very essence of Faurean charm. Several vocal pages selected in the 2nd volume (1897) continue to be favourites: Les Roses d?Ispahan restored to their dreamy stillness, Les Berceaux whose oscillation evokes the swaying of boats, and the very nostalgic Clair de lune in which Verlaine?s words, set to music for the first time, inspired Faure to write what would become one of his masterpieces: La Bonne Chanson. From this cycle, drunk on lovelorn lyricism, the collection retains Puisque l?aube grandit, an exalted melody if there ever was one, and La lune blanche luit dans les bois, a nocturnal landscape in F sharp major ? two pearls that distil the same mystery of solace..
