Product Details


Product Description

"Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée" is an album of 30 short poems by Guillaume Apollinaire, published in 1911.   I acquired a facsimile copy published by the Metropolitan Museum of Arts.  The album is divided into four sections. Each section begins with an oration by Orpheus, which then is followed by a set of poems depicting animals, insects, sea creatures and some mythological beasts.  Francis Poulenc set six of these poems.  I decided to do all thirty.  Why not?

Following the format of the album of poems, my cycle is divided into four movements.

1. Orpheé
La Tortue
Le Cheval
Le Chevre du Thibet
Le Serpent
Le Chat
Le Lion
Le Liévre
Le Lapin
Le Dromadaire
La Souris
L'Éléphant

2. Orpheé
La Chenille
La Mouche
La Puce
La Sauterelles

3. Orpheé
Le Dauphin
La Poulpe
Le Méduse
L'Écrevisse
La Carpe

4. Orpheé
Les Sirènes
La Colombe
Le Paon
Le Hibou
Ibis
Le Boeuf

The total duration is approximately 30 minutes.
