Program Notes in English:

Ten Dickinson Songs is dedicated to the memory of Madame Corinne Legrey, who was an important part of the cultural life of Lagny/Marne until her death.

Emily Dickinson’s poetry is full of contrasts: morbidity and sorrow exists aside vitality and life. For someone who rarely left her home, her poetic World surprises by its varied settings and images. The ten poems set here explore this contrast between life and death, between great joy and mourning.

Notes en Français:

Ten Dickinson Songs est dédié à la mémoire de Madame Corinne Legrey, qui avait un rôle très important dans la vie culturelle de Lagny/Marne jusqu’à sa mort.

La poesie d’Emily Dickinson est pleine de contradictions : la morbidité et la tristesse existent à côté de la vitalité et la vie. Pour quelqu’un qui n’a presque jamais quitté sa propre maison, sa poésie surprend par l’étendu de ses images. Les dix poèmes présentées ici explorent cette contraste entre la vie et la mort, entre les grandes joies et les deuils.
