Psaume 130 Du fond de l’abîme

Lilli Boulanger

Ricarda Gross-Khachaturian, AltO solo

Psaume CXXX

“Du fond de l'abîme (Psalm 130: De Profundis / "Out of the depths"), composed for voice and orchestra, is dedicated to the memory of her father, as noted at the top of the score.

The work, completed when Boulanger was aged only twenty-two, sounds mature and conveys a developed compositional style.

Boulanger's psalms convey her Catholic faith. It has been suggested that the work was composed in reaction to World War I. The work is for a large orchestra including a sarrusophone.” (Source: Wikipedia)

Lilli Boulanger

“Marie-Juliette Boulanger (21 August 1893 – 15 March 1918), professionally known as Lili Boulanger was a French composer and musician who was the first female winner of the Grand Prix de Rome composition prize. Her older sister was the noted composer and composition teacher Nadia Boulanger.“ (…)

Her parents, both musicians, encouraged their daughter's musical education: her mother, Raissa Myshetskaya (Mischetzky) (1858–1935), was a Russian princess (born in Saint Petersburg) who married her vocal teacher at the Conservatoire de Paris, Ernest Boulanger, who won the Prix de Rome in 1835. (…)

Her paternal grandfather Frédéric Boulanger had been a noted cellist; her grandmother, Marie-Julie Halligner (her eponym), was a famous mezzo-soprano.

Eine Messe des Lebens

Frederick Delius

(* 29. Januar 1862 in Bradford; † 10. Juni 1934 in Grez-sur-Loing)

Ricarda Gross-Khachaturian, Alto Solo

“(…) sein ambitioniertestes, in deutscher Sprache komponiertes Werk, Eine Messe des Lebens (1905) nach Friedrich Nietzsche. In dieser monumentalen Kantate gelang es Delius mit Erfolg, den Geist und die Atmosphäre des „Zarathustra“ musikalisch umzusetzen, mal hymnisch-triumphierend, dann wieder spätromantisch-impressionistisch-verstiegen.“ (Quelle: Wikipedia)
