In 1877, Fauré became engaged to Marianne Viardot, but this romance was short lived, and she ended the engagement abruptly. Fauré never really recovered from this rejection, and it was this event, combined with Faurés apparent lack of musical success, that led to bouts of depression. It was during this time that he composed the song Après un rêve for voice and piano. This short romance is a setting of an anonymous Italian poem adapted by Romain Bussine (1830-1899) and the text describes a dream in which the author and his beloved are brought together in a blissful unearthly meeting. However, as the title and melancholy style of the music suggest, it is the waking from this vision, and the painful realisation of the narrators true heart-rending circumstances, which give this work its unique poignant beauty.
