Camille Saint-Saëns - Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix
for Mezzo Soprano, String Quartet and Piano


"Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix" is an aria from the opera Samson et Dalila by Camille Saint-Saëns. In the aria, Delilah declares her love for Samson, even though she will eventually betray him. This arrangement for string quartet and piano retains the delicacy of the original, and is ideal for song recitals.

Instrumentation: mezzo soprano, violin 1, violin 2, viola, cello, piano
