Today’s love-inspired Comfort at One is brought to you from former member of The Choir of Trinity Wall Street, baritone Christopher Dylan Herbert, and NOVUS NY pianist Charity Wicks.

This stunning duo performs the last song cycle composed by Gabriel Fauré: L’Horizon Chimériquebased on the poetry of Jean de La Ville de Mirmont.

From Diane, Séléné (song 3): “O moon, I covet your clarity, Insult to the vain turmoil of poor souls, And my heart, ever weary and ever restless Aspires toward the peace of your nocturnal flame.”
