Throughout his career, Camille Saint-Saens composed nearly 150 songs. In 1921, the final year of his life, he completed the Cinq Poemes de Ronsard. Along with the Trois Vieilles Chansons, composed in the same year, this collection shows Saint-Saens returning tothe poetry of the 15th and 16th centuries, a source from which Charles Gounod, Georges Bizet and Jules Massenet had already drawn.
