The Florestan Recital ProjectAbout
Thomson wrote that the great song composers — Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Wolf, Mahler, Faure, Debussy, Duparc, Ravel, and Poulenc — accomplished their miracles through their ability to make the music “not only of equal quality with the verse but also its mate. It gets inside a poem and stays there, intertwined unforgettably, never to be thought of henceforth as not a part of the whole idea.” He contrasted these works with the songs of Purcell, which he thought, although very beautiful and expertly done, nonetheless did not fuse the music and text — the music was merely “decorative”.

- Sarah Pelletier (soprano)
- Lynne McMurtry (contralto)
- William Hite (tenor)
- Aaron Engebreth (baritone, co-director)
- Alison d’Amato (piano, co-director)

- John McDonald (percussion)
