Hymne À L'Amour :

Hymne à l'amour (Hymn to Love) is a popular French song originally performed by Édith Piaf.

The lyrics were written by Piaf and the music by Marguerite Monnot. Piaf first sang this song at the Cabaret Versailles in New York City on September 14, 1949. It was written to her lover and the love of her life, the French boxer, Marcel Cerdan. On October 28, 1949, Cerdan was killed in a plane crash on his way from Paris to New York to come to see her. She recorded the song on May 2, 1950.

In December, 2015, Gideon Gee-Bum Kim revised the 1949 Editions Edimarton (Paris) of Hymn A L'Amour and instrumented for soprano, flute, clarinet, and piano for the Toronto Messiaen Ensemble's "The Aroma of France and Korea" project. Then he instrumented it again for soprano, chorus, flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello and piano in December, 2016 for the Yemel Philharmonic Society's "Wisdom in Folk and Popular Music" concert.
