Composed at the request of the choral ensemble Sospiri, the work is in three short movements:

I. La Grace Exilée

II. Les Feux du Bivouac

III. L'Adieu du Cavalier

 

The 1915 texts are by the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire. Since he served in the French military, his poetry on the aspects of life in time of war is from first-hand experience. Graceful, charming, and varied, the music paints the text with elegance. A memorable concert piece for an a cappella SATB ensemble. Duration: 3:36.
