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 composed, performed and translated by David W Solomons (dwsChorale).
The score and sound file are available (free download) at:
