<pre style="background-color: white; color: #0d314b;"><b><u>(English Translation by Peter Low)</u></b></pre>
<pre style="background-color: white; color: #0d314b;">The hummingbird, the green prince of the heights,
feeling the dew and seeing the sun's clear light
shining into his nest of woven grass,
shoots up in the air like a gleaming dart.
Hurriedly he flies to the nearby marsh
where the waves of bamboo rustle and bend,
and the red hibiscus with the heavenly scent
opens to show its moist and glistening heart.
Down to the flower he flies, alights from above,
and from the rosy cup drinks so much love
that he dies, not knowing if he could drink it dry.
Even so, my darling, on your pure lips
my soul and senses would have wished to die
on contact with that first full-fragrant kiss.

What conquered me forever,
That was a charm more sad,
And I did not know that I loved you,
Until I saw your first tear.</pre>

<pre><b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Poet: Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe</span></b></pre>
<pre><b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></b></pre>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<pre><b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Questions like "What is Suleika?"</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">or "What does Suleika mean?" might</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">comes into mind. Suleika is a poem which is taken from </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Goethe's collection ' Book of Suleika'. It is intersting</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">to found that Goethes has interest in the East, Persia</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">and Muslim. It is not hard to believe that Goethe writes </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">about one character that is related to one of the follower of Muslim</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">--Joseph. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Suleika might come from the name of </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">a wife of the King during the time of Joseph, whom she </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">admires for his charming appearance. While Goethe was</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">working on the poem,</span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> he gets</span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> very close to Marianne von Willemer</span>.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">It inspires him to wrote the affection from Marianne just as </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">how Suleika admires Joseph. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">In Schubert setting, it started off with few </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">chromatic acsendings semiquavers, </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">as if the rolling of the wind or a motion and hence the first line goes-</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">wondering what does the motions means.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">

<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">This lied is in a modified-strophic form </span></span></pre>

<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">there are repitions of the same tune at the </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">begining and the end with </span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">different verses. </span> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Albeit there are changes of mode in between stanzas, </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">first and third in minor,</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">second and fourth in major, the overall idea are</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> all about sceneries, the wind </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">playing with the dust up to the clouds, resulting </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">the swaying of leaves, and cooling </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">the earth and hot cheeks. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">In each stanza, the melody interchanges with </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">agitated and stillness although the </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">piano accompanient are still the same, rolling </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">of broken chords in semiquaver. The vocal </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">line goes smooth and still in longer value in the </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">middle of the songs, where she heard the wishper</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">of wind who carries the greetings from friends, </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">as though she is receiving the thousand </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">of kisses. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Music changes into totally different pace after</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> a long passage and a climax when </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">she finally found her beloved. The longing of</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> love is shown by the dominant pedal</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">point and chromatic chords, moving away </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">from tonic, as though the love is eternal. It shows </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">continuity, not until the last chord at the end, </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">depicting the satisfaction and contentment </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">of the love sweet breath that could only be </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">learnt by the mouth of his beloved. </span></pre>

<pre><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">What does the motion mean?
Does the East wind bring glad tidings?
The refreshing movement of its wings
Chills the heart's deep wound.
It plays gently with the dust,
Chasing it into light clouds.
And drives the happy insect people
to the security of the vine-leaves.
It softly tempers the sun's incandescence,
and chills my hot cheeks,
As it flees it kisses the vines
which are prominent on the fields and hills
And its soft whispering brings me
A thousand greetings from my friend
Before these hills dim,
I will be greeted by a thousand kisses.
So as you go on your way
And serve friends and the saddened.
There where high walls glow,
I shall soon find my dearly beloved.
Oh, the true message of his heart,
Loves-breath, refreshing life
Comes only from his mouth,
Can be given to me only by his breath.</span></i></pre>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A playful song with simple poem, "Bonjour Suzon!" portrays the simple love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of a lover coming back to see his beloved Sussie. A great trip he had where</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he writes, loves and enjoys the tour to Italy, but what matter most is the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
reunion of him and Sussie after all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Modulations occurs in the songs to depict the changes of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
emotions, making it a contrast upon the simple melody. It shows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the transformation of narrator's emotions while he was singing and awaiting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to see his love, pleading, asking, wondering, questioning etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As Sussie replied " I wish not yet"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
whether or not they meet each other at the end,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is not been told. The music still ended</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as cheerful as the beginning, neither upset, nor satisfaction of relieve. </div>

I pass before your house,
open your door!
Good morning, Susie!
When I saw you in the time of lilacs,
your heart was full of new found joy
and you said, "I do not wish,
I do not wish to be loved yet."
What have you done since I left?
He who leaves too soon, comes back too late;

Poem: Johann Ludwig Tieck (1773-1853) </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">"Minnelied", op. 47 (<i>Sechs Lieder</i>) no. 1 </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Composed in 1840.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">This is a very simple songs composed by Mendelssohn during his</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">later years, seven years before he passed away.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> It appears like some other standard lieder, strophic,</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">which two stanzas has the same melody with slight difference at </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">the end, an extra <span style="font-size: small;">repetition</span> of the last melody line. </span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">There is a very simple introduction with some chromatic notes over </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">the left hand while the right hand is always in alberti-like semiquaver</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Unlike Schumann's composition, Mendelssohn always composed </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">the piano part in an accompanimnet form rather than going on with </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">the vocal line. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">There is a little modulation in the middle of each stanza, hence changing </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">of tone colour and mood is always expected. More lyrical line is demanded , albeit </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">the melody line is always simple. The vocal line in the second stanza could </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">appear lighter than the first, as well as softer in dynamics as it tells about </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">the fragrant of the linden tree. The ending of the second might be stronger as </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">compare to the ending of first stanza as the text goes " there nothing like her".</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">However the repition of the same text of both stanza on F on the second time </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">should not be too loud or expolosive although it is on the high pitch. It has to be </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">as sweet or gentle like the beautiful view and the sweet linden tree. </span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span></pre>

In the lime tree's sweet fragrance,

<pre><b><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Author: Stephane Mallarme (1842-1898) </span></b></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Apparition was written in 1884, another early composition by Debussy.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> It was written for Madame Vasnier, a coloratura. Hence,</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">lighter tone colour might be expected to sing this song. Some how this songs is different from</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> the previous. Instead of just pure light voice, it requires greater </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">vocal technique with symbolic literature. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Debussy first met Stephane Mallarme on 8th Feb 1884. </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">He was likely influenced by the symbolic poems</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">as he almost spent most of the time with poets than musician</span><span style="font-size: small;">s. He set a symbolic </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">poem by Stephane Mallarme to a song. </span><span style="font-size: small;"> The title "apparition"suggested </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">a vague subject, hard to imagine or to see. It depicts a dead </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">soul which often show the sadness and dark side of </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">our emotions. This songs was rather full of sentiments, passionate and </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">longing, which leads the songs to the climax where the text repeats the title twice</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">on a high C.</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The vocal line joins in in the second bar not </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">long after a brief introduction by the piano </span><span style="font-size: small;">accompaniment. It creates</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">subtle ringing atmosphere where the vocal lines almost repeating same note</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">without leaping widely until<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>few bars later. It</span><span style="font-size: small;"> suggests a stillness </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">night with sad atmosphere, pictures of vague dream-like view which is </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">almost untrue in reality-- the sad moon, crying seraphims around the petals </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">with their bows in their fingers, vapours...</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Abruptly, music changes into rich texture in G flat Major where the vocal</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">line appears in high register. It was indeed emotional that it was the</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">day when they first kissed, a very memorable day and moment which she long and </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">dream for. Her dream was almost torturing, affecting the tonality- a minor</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">mode in the next phrase, leading to a first- wave-climax, protraying some kind of dramatic </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">emotion-- "drowning in the sad perfume without regret and disappointment". </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It changes again unexpectedly into Major mode in C with leaping melodies but calm, </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">still and soft in dynamics. It gradually builds to the climax as her eyes was revited </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">while she was walking on the path on that evening, the sun shines through a vague object -- </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> the apparition, an object likely as the feature and figure of her beloved</span><span style="font-size: small;"> that appears</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">in front of her own eyes. It depicts a mixtures of excitement, touch and painful emotions. Alas</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">the main tune comes back again in same key- G flat when she finally saw fairy-like with a </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">hat of light which once appeared in her dream. </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">A sudden PP in the dynamic suggest a quick change when she realized it was all over-</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">"passed" with the word "Passait" on a leaping A, passed through her careless hand</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">and the music goes tenderly calm again with few smooth modulations, suggesting the </span></pre>

<pre><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The moon was saddened. Seraphims in tears
dreaming, bows at their fingers, in the calm of filmy flowers
Threw dying violas of white sobs
sliding over the blue of corollas.
It was the blessed day of your first kiss;
My reverie, loving to torture me,
wisely imbibed its perfume of sadness
That even without regret and without setback
leaves the gathering of a dream within the heart that gathered it.
I wandered then, my eye riveted on the aged cobblestones.
When, with light in your hair, in the street
and in the evening, you appeared to me smiling
and I thought I had seen the fairy with a hat of light
who passed in my sweet dreams as a spoiled child,
always dropping from her carelessly closed hand
a snow of white bouquets of perfumed stars. </span></i></pre>

<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Author:Paul Bourget (1852-1935) </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></pre>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Debussy composed this song during 1883, a reproductive year for vocal </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">works such as <i>Chanson Espangole</i> (Choral), </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><i>Invocation </i>which he admitted for the Prix de Rome competition, and </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">other works for solo and choral. It is considered as </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Debussy's early compositional period. Many of his solo vocal works </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">during the early period, approximately 1881 to 1885 </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">were mostly written for high voice. One of the biggest reason is the</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> patron of him, Madame Vasnier, is a coloratura. He </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">composed a collection of 13 songs dedicated for her, entitled as "Chansons". It was later </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">published as "<i>The Vasnier Song Book</i>", comprising Pantomime, En Sourdine,</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Au clair de lune, Fontoches, Mandoline, Coquetterie Posthume, </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Romance, Musique, Paysage sentimental, La Romance d'Ariel, and</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Regret. Some of these songs were revised by Debussy in his later years. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Hence, there are two versions of Clair de lune which later reflects</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">the individuality of Debussy's compositional style. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Debussy composed <i>Paysage Sentimental</i>, L.45 on a poem by one of </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">his favorite poet, Paul Bourget. It is taken from Bourget's </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">collection - <i>Les aveux</i> from which he also extracts <i>Romance and</i> <i>Musique. </i> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">The title enforces the emotion of the songs, very sentimental</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">not too solemn with little bitter sweet. A landscape introduced by</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> the author with cold freezing weather, dark wood </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">branches, falling leaves and little sunshine. A pair of couple sitting and </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">kissing under a tree in the wood, and</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> could only enjoy the happiness in a melancholy way. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">All things like the weather and trees seems deadly </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">accept the love albeit happiness sleeps peacefully, as pale as the cold </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">pond of the village.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">The accompaniment introduce a light - hearted introduction, a folk-like </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">melody in pentatonic. The voice joins after the </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">introduction with ascending of semitone, little influences of the </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">cosmopolitan music of the flavor of Russian, French and </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">German. Indeed Debussy was influences by the cosmopolitan writing.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Russian influences was most probably from Mdame von Meck, one of</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Debussy's patron who loves Russian music; where as </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">influences of German probably comes from the Wagnerian style. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> Debussy wrote high pitch for happy text such as</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> <i>rendait heureux</i> and <i>baiser</i> then quickly descend when</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> the lyrics goes <i>melancoliquement</i>. A new theme is introduced in the second</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> stanza, and is repeated with sequence in </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">semitone higher, emphasizing the deadly branches in the </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">wood with withering leaves. But that doesnt affect the love where melody</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> goes high again with the text "when the lips touches the lips", The same</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> melody of the opening comes back in the third stanza. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Debussy wrote similarly with<i> bonheur</i> on excited higher register. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">The "mysterious peaceful" need to be sung</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">in a relaxing way although it is quite a high pitch, closing the song </span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> with turns of semitone Russian-like melody. </span></pre>

<pre><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The winter sky, so sweet, so sad, so slumbrous,
where the sun wandered among pale mists,
was like the sweet, deep feeling
that made us happy in a melancholy way
on that afternoon of kisses under the branches,
dead branches not stirred by any breeze,
black branches with a few withered leaves.
Ah, how your lips were given to my lips
more tenderly still in this great, mute woods
and in this languor of the year's death,
the death of everything except that I love you,
and except for the happiness filling my soul,
happiness that rests deep in this isolated soul,
mysterious, peaceful and cool, like the pond
that grew pale at the bottom of the pale valley. </span></i></pre>
