Chanson \Chan"son\, n. [F., fr. L. cantion song. See {Cantion}, {Canzone}.] A song. --Shak. ※ ||
The ample, weighty vocal quality of the soprano Francoise Pollet seemed well-suited to these languorous yet colourful pieces. It was less so in Faure's song cycle La Bonne Chanson, in which a lighter touch was needed.
This included a rare performance of Faure's song-cycle La Bonne Chanson in the arrangement which the composer made for string quartet and piano, only to regret the idea fairly soon afterwards.
