Musician's or Publisher's Notes
Fauré composed for vocal and instrumental genres and set many poems to music. His best works are chamber compositions - many for strings. The text of Après Un Rêve is a French adaptation of an anonymous Italian poem.
In a slumber which held your image spellbound
I dreamt of happiness, passionate mirage,
Your eyes were softer, your voice pure and sonorous,
You shone like a sky lit up by the dawn;
You called me and I left the earth
To run away with you towards the light,
The skies opened their clouds for us,
Unknown splendours, divine flashes glimpsed,
Alas! Alas! sad awakening from dreams
I call you, O night; give me back your lies,
Return, return radiant,
Return, O mysterious night
