Musician's or Publisher's Notes

From the first collection (Premier recueil) of Fêtes galantes

Fantoches (‘Phantoms’)
Scaramouche and Pulcinella whom bring together a wicked plot,
gesticulate back and forth beneath the moon.
Meanwhile the excellent Doctor from Bologna
leisurely gathers medicinal herbs in the brown grass.
Then, his daughter, interestingly provocative, beneath the hedge
Secretly glides, half naked in quest of her handsome Spanish pirate
of whom an amorous nightingale proclaims its distress at the top of its voice.
