BIBLIOTHÈQUE DU HÉRISSON (OEUVRES NOUVELLES)
TRISTAN KLINGSOR
HUMORESQUES
A lively assortment of whimsical sketches, verses and short scenes greets the listener with a mélange of ordinary moments turned delightfully absurd. From a sleepy inn where a clock ticks and a buttered toast remains elusive, to a mischievous trio of a notary, a cousin and a poet, the pieces capture the quirks of daily life with a grin‑laden voice that flits between the mundane and the fantastical.
The collection wanders through dream‑filled reveries—a knight confronting a shaggy dragon, an aubépine blooming beside a flirty courtier, and a mischievous bird perched on a telegraph line. Its humor is both gentle and sharp, offering sly commentary on love, vanity and the small theatricalities that color our world. Listeners will find themselves smiling at the poet’s playful turns of phrase, feeling the pulse of early‑twentieth‑century Paris while being invited into a timeless, chuckle‑rich reverie.

1874–1966
A lively figure in early 20th-century French arts, he moved easily between poetry, painting, music, and criticism. He is especially remembered for his connection with Maurice Ravel, whose song cycle Shéhérazade drew on his verse.
