Fauré La bonne chanson, Op 61 La lune blanche luit dans les bois video

Fauré - La bonne chanson, Op.61 - La lune blanche luit dans les bois. La Bonne Chanson is a collection of poems written by Paul Verlaine from the winter of 1869 to the spring of 1870. Twenty-one poems belong to this group, and are mostly likely addressed to Mathilde Mauté, his future wife. The poems are a proclamation of love, using very direct terms, and some references to nature. Gabriel Fauré arranged nine of these poems to relate a story and used recurrent themes to unify the cycle. Fauré removes all direct descriptions of the girl and naturalist statements from the poems he chooses for inclusion in his cycle.
