“As Proust liked to remind us, Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) had a clear voice that was really appreciated in Paris at the time: he believed Hahn?s mouth was a genius music instrument that was letting the most beautiful, sad yet warm voice out when he was singing. Following the first volume written in 1986, Melodies Volume 2 comprises twenty exciting songs for Voice with Piano Accompaniment, composed by Reynaldo Hahn. These twenty melodies are: Quand la nuit n'est pas étoilée ? Cantique - La Délaissée - La chère blessure ? Théone - Le souvenir d'voir Cante -Quand je fus pris au pavillon - Chanson au bord de la fontaine - Sur l'eau ? Fumée - Le printemps - Dans la nuit - Les fontaines - A Chloris - Le rossignol des lilas - A nos morts ignorés - Ma jeunesse - Le plus beau présent - Puisque j'ai mis ma lèvre - La douce paix”.
