Composer of the Week: Lili Boulanger

on BBC Radio 3

With Donald Macleod. 3: Landscapes of Imagination.
Lili Boulanger suffered long bouts of serious illness throughout her short life, and she died just short of her 25th birthday. However, when she was well enough, she loved to tramp around out of doors appreciating the nature which surrounded her, and these forays excited her musical imagination. The first round of the Prix de Rome competition gave her the chance to make a choral setting of a verse text by poet Albert Samain. Evening on the Plain displays hertalent for creating a soundscapethat reflects the natural world. Lili Boulanger Cortege Lorraine McAslan (violin), Nigel Clayton (piano)
