113, is a song cycle by Gabriel Fauré, of four mélodies for voice and piano.
Composed in 1919, the cycle is based on four of the poems from the collection of the same name by Renée de Brimont.
[1] The song cycle was composed in July and August 1919 while staying at Annecy-le-Vieux,[1] at the invitation of Fernand Maillot and his wife Louise.
[4] Fauré's interest in de Brimont's poetry was first stimulated by Gabriel Hanotaux,[5] to whose wife the song cycle was dedicated.
[6] Fauré's settings from the two parts of de Brimont's collection are as follows:[7] Mirages had its premiere at the Société Nationale de Musique on 27 December 1919, sung by Madeleine Grey.
