Voyelles by Rimbaud, music by Mike Roberts

Mike Robert's setting of Arthur Rimbaud's synaesthetic poem where he equates vowels with colours and lets his imagination run away with him a little. He may have had his tongue in his cheek.... This setting is also performed by David W Solomons (dwsChorale).

This is wonderful... love Rimbaud and love this setting, and love the "choral" singing too. Have to say that this has made my day. Michael
