Cette oeuvre a ete composee en quelques jours sous le coup de l'emotion creee par la disparition d'un ami tres cher du compositeur , en juin 2007. Cet ami etait un admirateur passionne de Mahler, et les paroles chantees a l'entree des choeurs dans sa 2me Symphonie 'Resurrection', revinrent immediatement a l'esprit de Gerard Hilpipre, prenant spontanement la forme de ce choeur a 3 voix de femmes , a la fois adieu et message consolateur.

This work was written within a few days, just after the death of a very close friend of the composer, in June 2007. This friend was a passionate lover of Mahler's music, so the words sung at the entry of the chorus in Mahler's 2nd Symphony 'Resurrection' came immediately th the mind of Gerard Hilpipre, crystallizing in that 3-parts chorus for women-voices, both farewell and consolation.
