Despite receiving the commission from Koussevitzky, relations between conductor and composer were frosty. The title page bears the inscription ‘Composed to the glory of God… dedicated to the Boston Symphony Orchestra’ with no mention of Koussevitzky, which no doubt needled the conductor.
Lili Boulanger, sister of Nadia, the friend and associate of Stravinsky, was born in 1893. During her short life, she suffered from bronchial pneumonia which led to her premature death in 1918; she composed an opera and many chamber and orchestral works of high quality. It is, however, her choral music upon which her reputation lies, especially the six psalm settings – three of which are included on this CD. Her music looks forward to composers such as Stravinsky, Honegger and even Messiaen, and her early death robbed the musical world of one of its most promising and original voices.
