This work refers to a song cycle by Berlioz: 'Les Nuits d'Ete', which in turn is based on poems by Theophile Gautier.

"This body of work suggests that music has unified the several aspects of his creative imagination into an exceptionally dynamic and unified whole. The results are both highly personal and readily accessible evocations of inspiring experiences. Waiting to be discovered within their imagery are allusions to the philosophical and intellectual ideas of the times from which the music sprang but initially these paintings communicate to the receptive heart as directly as the music that inspired them."
