Where it comes from

Borrowed from French envoi.

noun envois · envoy · l'envoi

A short stanza at the end of a poem, used either to address a person or to comment on the preceding body of the poem. From the pulsing throb of the very opening, this was a detailed, incisive playing, culminating in an envoi glowing enough to provide the catharsis this programme so uncompromisingly demanded.
