Words by Paul Eluard
Un navire dans tes yeux
Jour de nos yeux
La source coulante
C'est une plante qui frappe
Le coin du coeur
Nous ne vous chantons pas
Au nom du front parfait
About Marjo Tal
(01/15/1915 - 08/27/2006)
Marjo Tal shunned publicity and rarely gave interviews. As a composer and a pianist she was solely concerned with creating and recreating music, and was subservient to this her entire life. The few magazine articles about her published through the years reveal her passionate and self-conscious artistry. Sparse photographic material shows a beautiful woman with sensual and melancholic features. Tal survived the war underground. Her career as a pianist peaked in the mid 1960s and she then focused more on composing. At the end of her life she emigrated to Israel.
