In the second episode of our two-part discussion of French liaison, Dr. Francois Germain takes us through the text of "Chanson triste", with a focus on verbs in the future tense as well as the pronunciation of consonants in liaison.

Chanson triste is one of Henri Duparc's early songs, set to a text by Henri Cazalis under the penname of Jean Lahor. The score to Chanson triste is also available online at the International Music Score Library--make sure that you know the copyright laws of your country before you download anything, in most of the world copyright is held 50-70 years after the composer's death.
