Three Pieces

Best remembered as the preeminent composition pedagogue of the 20th century, Nadia Boulanger largely abandoned her own composition career after her younger sister, Lili, died prematurely in 1918. Among the works of Nadia’s that have endured are the exquisite Three Pieces, best known in the scoring for cello and piano. The music’s unique blend of impressionistic detail and free-flowing neoclassicism is transformed and illuminated in this rewarding and refined arrangment by flutist Matthew Ross whose performance may be heard at www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE9PaTQ23xk
