Germaine Tailleferre: Six chansons françaises pour chant et piano: Voice: Vocal

A cycle of songs from the Les Six composer setting French texts from the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. This version for voice and piano from 1930 follows the version for voice and orchestra from 1929. This is regarded as Tailleferre's most feminist work the poems addressing the difficulties experienced by women especially marital and affairs of the heart and perhaps draws on her personal experiences of her turbulent relationship at the time with the American caricaturist Ralph Barton.
