An enchanting programme for woodwind and piano, embracing music from home – Vaughan Williams’ Six English folksongs and Finzi’s Five bagatelles – and abroad. Ravel’s Le tombeau de Couperin (1914-17) is a series of memorials to the composer’s friends who had died fighting. A spirit of hope and vitality is captured in Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin de printemps, despite being written shortly before Boulanger’s untimely death in 1918, and continued in Poulenc’s Sextet.
