Notes


In Nadia Boulanger’s hand, this score exists in a version for baritone and piano. That version was premiered on June 9, 1921, by choruses of students from the ensemble classes of the Conservatoire de Paris conducted by Henri Busser, with Henri Albers (baritone) and Nadia Boulanger (piano), at the Salle Pleyel (“Audition d’œuvres de Lili Boulanger précédée d’une causerie de Camille Mauclair”). The work is better known in the version for mixed chorus and orchestra made by Nadia Boulanger in 1923.
