Jules Massenet
Written in E♭ major, range G3 to D♭5
Spring has come back, the sky is blue and the birds sing again, but the singer feels none of it: the one they loved has gone, and every bright day went with them. Massenet first wrote the tune in 1866 as a short piano piece, then set Louis Gallet’s poem to it; the piano part is Massenet’s own.
