Francis Poulenc

Un Joueur de flute berce les ruines (A flute player lullabies the ruins) is dated 1942. There is little information known about this piece since discovery of the manuscript. The work is modal and melancholic in style its contours and economy recall the composer’s earliest works. It is short and simple but of undeniable beauty and undoubtedly an important addition to the solo flute repertoire.

Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was an energetic French composer who is known for both his light-hearted instrumental works and his more serious sacred and choral music. His Mouvements Perpétuels (1918)was originally composed for Piano and is one of his earliest works penned while he was a conscript in the French army. While it has rightly endured to this day the older Poulenc did not like it thinking it detractedfrom his later more sombre work. This popular version of Mouvements Perpétuels is arranged for Flute and Guitar.
