Harmonies poétiques et religieuses

Harmonies poétiques et religieuses is a cycle of piano pieces by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, published in 1847. Rooted in the Romantic tradition and inspired by devotional poetry, the set explores hymn-like textures, chromatic harmony and expansive pianistic writing that reflect Liszt's turn to sacred and introspective subjects in his middle period and mark a development in his harmonic and expressive language.
