Last week we attended Richmond Ballet performances that incorporated songs by Gabriel Faure. Since then, I have been struck afresh by how haunting and exquisite the melodies of these songs are.
When we got home from the Ballet, we took out a volume of Faure songs and sang and played a few because we were both still thinking about them.
In the middle of that night, I woke from a dream to find myself singing Faure's "Apres un Reve" in my mind!
And in the days following, I have enjoyed strolling the leaf-scattered streets of my neighborhood in the autumn moonlight and humming more Faure songs to myself.
