Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Fantoches

from Fêtes Gallantes I by Paul Verlaine

Scaramouche and Pulcinella,

Assembled by an evil design,

Gesticulate, black under the moon,

 

Meanwhile, the excellent Doctor from Bologna

Slowly gathers his herbs

From among the brown grass.

Then his sharp-faced daughter,

Furtively slips under the arbor,

half naked,

 

In search of her handsome Spanish pirate,

Whose distress, an amorous nightingale

proclaims at the top of its voice.
