"She gave language to the most sublime abstractions, clad water and fire in orchestral flesh, and suggested through sound the motions of atoms and sap."
Carlos Larronde, "Rita Strohl, a cosmic musician" (Le Soir, March 6, 1931)
With Les Cygnes [The Swans] and the Symphonie de la Forêt [Forest Symphony], Rita Strohl sought a form of communion with nature, a decisive turning point towards a musical style that became increasingly symbolist and spiritual, which subsequently led her to compose grand lyrical and mystical works such as Yajnavalkya.
