Concert: Clearings in the Sky

Yonit Kosovske (Performer), Catherine Redding (Performer)

Irish World Academy of Music & Dance

Research output: Non-textual form › Performance

Abstract

Soprano Catherine Redding and pianist Yonit Kosovske perform Lili Boulanger’s song cycle Clairières dans le ciel (Clearings in the Sky). The thirteen song texts are drawn from Tristesses (Sorrows), a collection of twenty-four poems written by Francis Jammes (1868–1938). The songs are saturated with symbolism, nostalgic reflection, and intense longing for love through a rich compositional language the interweaves Impressionism with Neo-Romanticism. The programme also featured two piano solos: Lili Boulanger’s Prelude in D-flat, and Vers la vie nouvelle (Towards a new life) by her older sister Nadia Boulanger. This concert was performed on the Sundays & Noon concert series at Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin.
