Isabelle Aboulker wrote those words about the song: “How can we not be moved by the message conveyed by “Hommage à la terre”? Guillaume du Bartas (16th century) addressed to his contemporaries and denounced their equal and contemptuous way of considering the earth “Porte-grains, Porte-fruits, Porte-tours.” By singing and playing music, I wanted to get the poet heard, and his words withstand time, still crying out their message.”
