Trois Mélodies, Op. 7 (Fauré)

Trois Mélodies is a set of mélodies for solo voice and piano, by Gabriel Fauré. It consists of "Après un rêve" (Op. 7, No. 1), one of Fauré's most popular vocal pieces, "Hymne" (Op. 7, No. 2), and "Barcarolle" (Op. 7, No. 3). The songs were written between 1870 and 1877 and were published separately, only appearing together for the first time in 1878 as a part of his first of 3 song collections. The opus number 7 was imposed on them retrospectively in the 1890s, almost 20 years after their first publications.
