The piece ‘Of A Sad Evening’ by the composer Lili Boulanger is harrowing. Its desolate atmosphere conveys the tragedy of its composer’s life: she would die at 24, shortly after composing this piece. For a listener, it’s intense and powerful. In this episode I share insights into the piece, we continue to discover the different types of pieces orchestras play, and I answer the question ‘What is Orchestration?’.
This episode features the piece ‘Of A Sad Evening’ (D’un Soir Triste) by the composer Lili Boulanger. I recommend the recording by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Yan Pascal Tortelier.
