played by the Philharmonic Ensemble
Roussel composed the Serenade for flute, violin, viola, cello, and harp expressly for the Quintette Instrumental de Paris, and dedicated it to the flautist, Rene le Roy. It dates from 1925 and had its first performance at a festival devoted to the works of Albert Roussel. It is not a serenade in the modern' romantic sense of the word, for it follows the form of classical times when a serenade, or cassation, was another name for a suite of pieces, rather light in character, with no other object than to tharm and entertain.
Jean Franḉaix, who is one of the most original and gifted of the younger school of French composers, was born at Le Mans in 1912, and later went to Paris where he studied at the Conservatoire under Nadia Boulanger. His Quintet was composed in 1934 and given its first broadcast performance by the Philharmonic Ensemble in 1939.
