In addition to his vast output of German poetry, Rilke (1875-1926) wrote nearly 400 poems in French. His French poems on roses struck me as especially charming, filled with gorgeous lyricism, deftly crafted and elegant in their imagery. These exquisite poems are primarily light, joyous and playful and the musical settings are designed to enhance these characteristics and capture their delicate beauty and sensuousness. Disctinct melodic and harmonic materials recur throughtout the cycle, especially between Rilke's poignant Contre Qui, Rose (set as a wistful nocturne) and his moving La Rose Complete/ The final piece, Dirait-on, is composed as a tuneful chanson populaire or folksong, that weaves together two melodic ideas first heard in fragmentary form in preceding movements
