The 5th piece in Morton Lauridsen's 1993 choral cycle "Les Chansons des Roses" (to poems of Rainer Maria Rilke), "Dirait-on", in a charming performance with the composer at the piano (from 2014). The arrangement of it for violin and piano in Anne Akiko Myers' Tiny desk concert yesterday reminded me of it.
