About This Song
About "Proserpine, LWV 58, Act V Scene 2: Déserts écartés, sombres lieux (Cérès)" by Christophe Rousset
Cérès wanders through ‘déserts écartés,’ her lament floating over sparse, somber accompaniment. Rousset captures the ache of a mother’s search, the music’s desolate beauty a mirror to grief—each note a step into an ever-widening void.
