Background: For almost half a century a short poem by Victor Hugo, Viens! une flûte invisible soupire, inspired many composers.The words are simple and a little sentimental: a young man declares his love while 'a flute unseen sighs in the orchards'. Camille Saint-Saëns set the poem to music on its publication in 1856 and again in 1885, the year of Hugo's death.

Others who set the poem included Benjamin Godard, Gabriel Pierné and André Caplet. The story begins one evening and ends the following morning; it is divided into six 'scenes', each beginning with a piece for solo piano from Debussy's Epigraphes antiques and containing pieces by various composers, forming a conversation between tenor and soprano, with flute accompaniment.
