acques de la Presle greatly admired Fauré, Ravel, Debussy and Poulenc. He was averse to the influence of the music of Wagner and Stravinsky. He himself composed many elegant and sophisticated musical works. His many songs testify to his artistic soul that sought the beauty.

Le Jardin mouillé pour harpe (1913) was inspired by a poem by Henri de Regnier over a dripping wet garden. Where someone listens to the whispering sounds of falling raindrops. And is fascinated by the different sounds as they fall on leaves, sand, gravel and grass.
