I remember some weeks ago a list was published of known people with the name
*Hahn*.

While sorting my CDs (still stored in a messy way since I moved 18 months
ago), I found a CD with songs composed by Reynaldo *Hahn*.
I ripped 2 of them, none related to a *wren* unfortunately, but one related
to a *nightingale,* and an other related to the *wings* Victor Hugo wished
to get for his poems.

Here are they (for a brief while on my website):
track 03: Le Rossignole des lillas

track 04: Si mes vers avaient des ailes

*Reynaldo Hahn est un chef d'orchestre, critique musical et compositeur
français (naturalisé en 1912), né à Caracas le 9 août 1874 et mort à Paris
le 28 janvier 1947.Inhumé au Cimetière du Père Lachaise à Paris (section 85
près de 'l’avenue des thuyas).*
* Reynaldo's father was from *Hamburg*
*Né d'une mère vénézuélienne Elena Maria Echenaguera (1831-1912) et d'un père
originaire de Hambourg, Carlos Hahn, Reynaldo Hahn est le cadet de quatre
frères (Herman, Federico, Carlos, Edouardo) et de cinq sœurs (Elisa, Elena,
Isabel, Maria, Clavita). Carlos Hahn, venu au Venezuela pour faire fortune,
devient ami et conseiller du président Antonio Guzman Blanco. Après la fin
du septennat de ce dernier, se sentant menacé par les ennemis du président,
Carlos part à Paris avec toute sa famille, en 1878; Reynaldo n'a que trois
ans. La famille Hahn, installée 6 rue du Cirque, se crée rapidement des
relations dans la société parisienne.*
* During WWII he  had to flee to Southern France, later to Monaco
*Inquiété pour ses origines juives, il doit quitter Paris en 1940 pour
Cannes puis Monte-Carlo. En 1945, de retour à Paris, il est élu membre de
l'Académie des Beaux-Arts à la mort d'Alfred Bachelet et devient directeur
de l'Opéra de Paris.*

Thanks a lot, Roger.

I did mention Reynaldo Hahn in my line-up of Hahns:

• Reynaldo Hahn (Venezuelan composer of Jewish-German and Basque descent,
naturalized French citizen, lover of Marcel Proust [who once said,
"Everything I have ever done has always been thanks to Reynaldo."])

That his father was from Hamburg was news to me, however.  His name must
have been Karl Hahn before his time in Venezuela. (I had an uncle by that
name, probably one among many men.)

To my shame I have to admit that I'm not terribly familiar with Hahn's
music, but I think that the little I've heard of it so far has a lovely
lyrical quality. I have noticed that the poems he chose to write music to
tend to have what I consider a "Chinese hue", which seems just about right,
considering that his time was that of East Asian (re-)discovery in European,
especially French, art circles.

And thanks for the samples
