Composed between April and June 29, 1896 while on holiday in Italy, the Poème was written in response to a request by the violinist Eugène Ysaÿe for a concerto. Initially entitled Le Chant de l'amour triompant - after a romantic novella by the Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev which might have been inspired by events in his own life: the failed engagement of Pauline Viardot's daughter Marianne to the composer Gabriel Fauré and Turgenev's own infatuation with Pauline, which led to his leaving Russia to end up in Paris residing at the Viardot household. Turgenev, Pauline and Marianne Viardot and Fauré were all acquaintances of Chausson, but his ultimate creation was a work without any kind of extra-musical program.
The Poème was given its offical premiere with Ysaÿe as soloist on December 27, 1896 at the Nancy Conservatoire, with the orchestra conducted by Guy Ropartz. The present score is a superb newly engraved critical edition by Clinton F. Nieweg based on the composer's manuscript and the first edtion first issued in 2010 by the now-defunct E.F. Kalmus. The large score and orchestra parts are likewise available from Serenissima Music.

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
