It is the eighth of the nine poems of "Poèmes pour Mi", composed to celebrate the composer´s love for her wife, the violinist Claire Delbos.
There is an orchestral setting of this songs, but I prefer the piano version, which is more intimate and matches the subject better: the joy of love and physical pleasure.
"Printemps enchainé, arc-en-ciel léger
du matin,
Ah! mon collier! Ah! mon collier!
Petit soutien vivant de mes oreilles lasses,
Collier de renouveau, de sourire et de grace,
Collier d'Orient, collier choisi multicol-
ore aux perles dures et cocasses!
Paysage courbe, épousant l'air frais
du matin,
Ah! mon collier! Ah! mon collier!
Tes deux bras autour de mon cou,
ce matin."

A springtime enchained, a weightless
morning rainbow,
Ah! my necklace! Ah! my necklace!
A small and living support for my tired ears,
A necklace of rewal, of smiles and of grace,
A necklace of the Orient, a choice multi-colored
necklace with hard and comical pearls!
A curving landscape, marrying the cool
morning air,
Ah! my necklace! Ah! my necklace!
Your two arms around my neck this morning.
You can hear Dawn Upshaw with Gilbert Kalish, in a recording dated 1997.
Dawn is one of my favourite sopranos, I love her repertoire choices, which rang from medieval to modern music. I have learnt a lot of contemporary music through her. Specially thrilling is her colaboration nowadays with Oswaldo Golijov, to whom she has became muse, having written for her his opera Ainadamar and the song cycle Ayre, as well as several songs.
A must in every collection is Dawn´s recording of Górecki´s Third Symphonie, "of sorrowful songs" with the London Sinfonietta and David Zinman (Nonesuch).
Dawn is sadly sick these days, and has cancelled all her engagements. Wish her the best recovery, and still and very long and for of all of us rewarding artistic future.

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!
