Friday Musical Moment: Nature is Magic!

Welcome to your Friday Musical Moment! This one act opera-ballet, Zélindor, roi des Sylphes by François Rebel and  François Francoeur features a magician (Jean-Paul Fouchécourt) who has fallen in love with a mortal (Heidi Grant Murphy). In this aria, Fouchécourt enchants the rocks and trees in her honor:

In the air may your harmonious songs,
May fire and earth and water,
May everything pay homage to eyes
Which are the charm and the glory of the world.

Jean-Paul Fouchécourt
