About This Song

About "Proserpine, LWV 58, Act I Scene 1: Goûtons dans ces aimables lieux (Cérès, Cyané, Crinise)" by Christophe Rousset

Cérès and her nymphs gather in a pastoral glow, 'Goûtons dans ces aimables lieux' a trio of ripe contentment. Yet the sweetness is fragile—Rousset lets the harpsichord flicker like sun through leaves, hinting at the darkness soon to swallow this idyll.
