above the rooftops,
ever-present Sacre Coeur –
in a midnight bar
bohemians sip absinthe
and talk art over coffee

My response to Carpe Diem #1093 Concertino pour harpe et piano by Germaine Tailleferre.
I am grateful to Chèvrefeuille for introducing me to a female composer I have never heard of. I was fascinated by the biographical details and will be looking up more of her work.

I love this. I love Montmartre and Sacre Coeur…was immediately there. Great transportation.

Aye. Honestly, do not know, but I try and just sit down and read non-stop. And still make time to attend to other matters arising throughout my day. (@–>–)

Immediately felt at home … nice response on this composition. I am glad you like the music of Germaine Tailleferre. She was a very gifted composer and I hadn’t heard from her either.
