The songs were published in 1916, but did not receive their first performance until October 1917 with a chorus assembled by Jane Bathori and her husband. The three songs are mentioned below in the order in which the composer asked them to be published:
1. Nicolette (dedicated to the poet and fellow-Apache Tristan Klingsor)
2. Trois beaux oiseaux du Paradis (dedicated to Paul Painlevé, mathematician and briefly prime minister in 1917 and 1925)
3. Ronde (dedicated to Mme Paul Clemenceau, sister-in-law of the past and future prime minister Georges Clemenceau)
Available as complete set (Trois Chansons) see related scores: you can also listen to the mp3 of all three pieces.
