This sheet music got out of the oblivion. This is an arrangement of Léo Delibes’s version in Bibliothèque nationale de France. This song is intended for three female equal voices or children choirs. It is based on a poem by Louis Ratisbonne from the collection “La comédie enfantine” (1860). Léo Delibes composed many duets, trios and mixed and equal chorus, and his famous opera Lakmé. “L’écheveau de fil” is little-known, but it is a beautiful example of tender and naïve poetry.

Heine was still a teenager when he wrote his first love poems. His peregrinations to Germany followed, from where his Travel Paintings emerged. This was his literary birth. As a journalist for the Neue Allgemeine Politische Annalen, Heine spent his life torn between the components of his Jewish and German identities. In 1831, he moved to Paris where he was the most celebrated German. In 1843 he went to Germany, but the government had banned his works. In 1848 he became bedridden, overcome by myopathy (as his illness was described then). He also returned to poetry, where elegy, intimate confession and political hope are intertwined. Among his productions is a collection of poems Neuer Frühling (November 1830) from which is extracted "Leise zieht durch mein Gemüt".Jean Golgevit: "The melody was dictated to me by the language: the rhythm is given at once. As this song is very short, it can be sung again with the mouth closed, and the text can be taken from the last sentence "Wenn du eine Rose schaust..."

| | |  The link between those three works is gloom.The beautiful but sad poem Toi rossignol by Anne Perrier, is a poetic evocation of death. This little poem has inspired a simple and much expressive music.Pas de patrie is a work where nostalgia and spleen are combined.Mais lors dans le vent, surrealist poetry, is nearly a Burlesque, of an acid and colorful comic, which is to be sung quickly with lightness.Alexandre RYDIN
