Ex. 2-9: Aubade
Gabriel Fauré
Key: F/DmTime: 12/83 Songs (Op. 6)
No. 1 from Fauré's "3 Mélodies" (Op. 6), composed around 1873. The poem is by Louis Pomey.
An "aubade" is a morning song sung at dawn beneath a lover's window — the counterpart of the evening serenade. The poem calls to a sleeping beloved as morning light fills the world.
Track 6 from the album Fauré: Complete Songs by Cyrille Dubois and Tristan Raës (2022)
