Ernest Chausson’s (1855–1899) Poème de l’Amour et de la Mer, Op. 19 (Poem of Love and the Sea), is a gem of French Romanticism—a song cycle for soprano or mezzo-soprano and orchestra, composed between 1882 and 1892. The work is based on poems by Maurice Bouchor, which explore the mystical connection between love and the sea. The three-part cycle—La Fleur des eaux (The Flower of the Waters), Interlude, and La Mort de l’amour (The Death of Love)—guides the listener from passionate love to its fading and eventual longing.
