Saturday 28 March 2009 - 7.30 pmSt Mark's Broomhill

Faure Suite 'Dolly' orch. Henri Rabaud
Debussy Trois Nocturnes
Durufle Requiem

DebussyThree French classics: the Fauré originally for piano duet and a perennial favourite. Debussy’s Nocturnes are musical impressions of clouds, festivals and sirens (mythological seductresses who lured sailors to an untimely death, depicted here by a wordless ladies chorus). Finally Duruflé’s Requiem; an exquisite work by a master French organist whose compositions though small are invariably masterpieces: the Requiem is being played in its original version for large orchestra and organ.
