Georges Enesco, who is this week conducting two broadcast performances of Bach's Mass in.B minor, was born in Rumania in 1881, but has spent much of his life in Paris; as a young man, he studied composition at the Conservatoire under Gabriel Faure. His seven songs to words by the sixteenth-century poet Clement Marot , published in 1909, are naturally in the French style; and although they are clearly stamped with Enesco's personality they owe something to hit teacher in their faithful setting of French words, their lucid texture and subtle harmonies. It is particularly interesting to note how in Languir me fais he his followed Faure's procedure in ' Clair De lune, letting the piano continue with the melody it has introduced, while the voice sings another metody againtt it.
