Composed in the years 1936-37, these nine songs are settings of poems by the surrealist poet Paul Eluard, and they beautifully demonstrate Poulenc's strong intuitive connection to Eluard's poetry, which he set on numerous occasions. In this presentation of Tel jour, telle nuit, nine short films by Nick Flessa accompany the music in the communication of these songs' complex emotional world. While the films do not correspond directly to the text or premise of the songs, Flessa composed and shot the films with the music strongly in mind, and sought to compliment the essences of Poulenc and Eluard's art of lyricism, whimsy, sensuality and nonchalance.
