Phidylé is a mélodie by the French composer Henri Duparc, dedicated to his friend Ernest Chausson. It is a setting of a poem with the same title from Poèmes et poésies (1858) by the French Parnassian poet Leconte de Lisle.[a][2] Duparc first completed a setting for high male voice and piano (1882), and then orchestrated it (1891-1892).[3][4] The music, which shows the influence of Wagnerian voice leading and chromaticism,[5] progressively rises from languid tranquillity to the singer's triumphant climax, accompanied by heavy chords and tremolos in the piano, before a solo postlude for the piano which gradually dies to a pianissimo finish.[6] It has been suggested that Phidylé was inspired by Gabriel Fauré's 1870 mélodie Lydia, also a setting of a poem by Leconte de Lisle.[7]
