"Après un rêve" (After a Dream) is one of Gabriel Fauré's most beloved songs, composed around 1878 as part of the Trois mélodies, Op. 7, with a text based on an anonymous Tuscan poem translated by Romain Bussine. Its yearning melodic line and impressionistic harmonies have made it a favorite transcription for cello and piano, capturing the tender nostalgia of a fleeting dream.
