Francis Poulenc: Un Joueur De Flute Berce Les Ruines

Francis Poulenc: Un Joueur De Flute Berce Les Ruines For Solo Flute ** by Francis Poulenc (1899-1963). For Flute. Music Sales America. 20th Century. 6 pages. Chester Music #CH61753. Published by Chester Music.

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.
