Contre qui, rose (Against whom, rose) from Les Chansons des Roses

除了大量的德语诗歌创作之外，赖纳-里尔克（Rainer Maria Rilke，1875-1926 年）还创作了近 400 首法语诗歌。他关于玫瑰的诗歌给我留下了特别迷人的印象，充满了华丽的抒情、巧妙的构思和优雅的意象。这些精美的诗歌以轻快、欢愉和俏皮为主，而音乐配乐的设计正是为了强化这些特点，捕捉诗歌的细腻之美和感性。独特的旋律和和声素材在整个曲目中反复出现，尤其是里尔克凄美的 "Contre qui, rose"（以怀旧夜曲的形式呈现）和动人的 "La rose complète"。最后一首作品 "Dirait-on "是一首旋律优美的民谣，将前几个乐章中以片段形式出现的两个旋律构思交织在一起"

原文简介:
In addition to his vast output of German poetry, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) composed nearly 400 poems in French. His poems on roses struck me as especially charming, filled with gorgeous lyricism, deftly crafted and elegant in their imagery. These exquisite poems are primarily light, joyous and playful, and the musical settings are designed to enhance these characteristics and capture the delicate beauty and sensuousness of the poetry. Distinct melodic and harmonic materials recur throughout the cycle, especially between Rilke's poignant “Contre qui, rose” (set as a wistful nocturne) and his moving “La rose complète.” The final piece, “Dirait-on,” is composed as a tuneful chanson populaire, or folksong, that weaves together two melodic ideas first heard in fragmentary form in preceding movements.
