Depuis le Jour from "Louise" - Charpentier

The recording I have of this piece is of Renee Flemming, from her album "The Beautiful Voice." It is in Act II of the opera "Louise" where Louise (the main character) is in love with Julien. This song tells how her life has changed since moving in with Julien. She revels in his love for her and in her life which grows better everyday. This song is a very reflective piece. She's recounting the feeling of love she has for him. Her life right now is nothing but happiness.
