Serenade for Violin, Violoncello and Piano (1920)
To Miss Yvonne Astruc (1889-1980)
00:00 — i. Sur le lac tranquille, aux dernières lueurs du jour… On entend vaguement le son d'un cor, des cloches, des voix… (On a tranquil lake, by the last glimmers of fleeting day... One hearkens vaguely the call of a horn, of bells and voices communing...). (♩= 56)
09:24 — ii. Sous les bois, à lueur lointaine des flambeaux aux mille couleurs et des feux d'artifices, des couples enlacés ondulent aux sons des violes, des harpes, d'un chalumeau rustique et des mandolines. (Under the wood, faintly illumined in the tender lights of candles beneath a thousand iridescent fireworks, smitten paramours undulate with the sounds of viols, of harps, of homespun reeds and mandolins.). (♩= 120)
13:36 — iii. Dans la clarté bleue, devant des nymphes troublées, un vieux sylvain formidable et très beau a dansé en jouant de la flûte de Pan. Puis c'est le murmure de la nuit sous le clair de lune. (In the great blue clearings, before some sotted nymphs, an old, strong and handsome woodsprite dances and plays the pipes of Pan. Thus whispers the night, under the shining moon.). Assez lent

The autodidictic French composer, organist, and musicologist Jean Huré gave the title of 'Sérénade' to the second of his two trii for the combination of violin, violoncello, and piano (the former being his four-movement 'Suite sur des chants bretons',    • Huré, Jean (1898): Suite sur des chants br...  ; which was written in 1895, a full twenty-five years before the Sérénade). It is a transcription of part of the orchestral ballet 'Au bois sacré' (1919-1920).
He transcribed it at the age of forty-three, writing it from August through September 1920. It was published that same year by the Albert Zunz Mathot firm in Paris (now subsumed into Éditions Salabert, which are now in turn one of three companies forming Éditions Durand-Salabert-Eschig, which are part of the Universal Music Publishing Group of the Universal Music Group). Though technically in a single movement, the Sérénade is split into three tableaux, which are each epigraphed by a brief, poetic heading. The three divisions which form this lyrical work are clearly linked to a time of day: the hour of dusk.
This pastoral chamber-poem is not intended to be descriptive, but rather evocative of the sounds and emotions of an imaginary past. The three divisions are directly enchained, with its tempo evolving throughout the piece. The artist's holograph manuscript lies with the bulk of his written legacy in the Municipal Library of Angers.
