For many, the title will awaken memories of the demonstrations against the clearance of the Flörsheim Forest to allow for a new runway at the Frankfurt Airport.

Both the poem, which extends beyond this local incident to remind us of the seriousness of our global situation, and the music join together to form an expressive, universally valid call for the conservation of our core values, our future together: “Die Erde jedoch wird sich wehren. Sie wird uns, am Ende, nichts mehr geben als den Staub, in dem wir aufgehn.” (The earth, however, will resist. She will, in the end, not give us any more than dust, into which we will submerge.) It is up to us, to prevent the situation from advancing so far: “Wir, die wir zu ihren Schülern wurden, sollten die Lehre der Bäume verbreiten.” (We, the students, should spread the teachings of the trees.”

“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”.
