'Voix suprême: Murmure de vent qui monte' is a vocal work composed by Jules Massenet. The piece was composed in 1902 and premiered in the same year. It is a part of the composer's larger work, 'Poème d'Avril', which is a collection of songs for voice and piano. The piece is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement, 'Murmure de vent qui monte', is a slow and contemplative piece that features a haunting melody sung by the soprano voice. The piano accompaniment is sparse and delicate, providing a gentle backdrop for the voice. The second movement, 'Le Chant des oiseaux', is a lively and playful piece that features a more upbeat melody. The soprano voice sings a series of bird-like trills and runs, while the piano accompaniment provides a lively and energetic backdrop. The final movement, 'Le Silence des bois', is a slow and meditative piece that features a simple and beautiful melody sung by the soprano voice. The piano accompaniment is again sparse and delicate, providing a gentle and peaceful backdrop for the voice. Overall, 'Voix suprême: Murmure de vent qui monte' is a beautiful and evocative vocal work that showcases Massenet's skill as a composer. The piece is characterized by its haunting melodies, delicate piano accompaniment, and the expressive and emotive qualities of the soprano voice.
