SUMMARY:Hertfordshire Chamber Orchestra at St Mary-at-Hill\, conducted by 
 Alex Fryer
LOCATION:London St Mary-at-Hill Church
DESCRIPTION:plays Fauré\, Françaix\, Poulenc & Ravel - Fauré :Masques e
 t BergamasquesFrançaix: Dances from "les Malheurs de Sophie" (for wind de
 ctet)Poulenc: Organ concerto (soloist: Robert Mingay-Smith)Ravel: Le tombe
 au de CouperinPoulenc: SinfoniettaA CONCERT OF 20TH CENTURY FRENCH MUSICTw
 o pieces appeared in the aftermath of First World War and three straddle t
 he Second. All take cues from earlier times and play their role in the con
 trast between sobriety and pleasure notable across the arts in the last ce
 ntury.Fauré's wistful divertissement inspired by commedia dell'arte chara
 cters was commissioned by the Prince of Monaco in 1919. That same year Rav
 el orchestrated his commemoration of a prominent forebear\, giving a cheer
 ful face to the sombre memory of a friend lost in the War behind each 18th
  century dance. More carefree are the dances in which Jean Françaix illus
 trates the escapades of miscreant Sophie at her parents' Second Empire cha
 teau in 'la France profonde'.Of all French composers representing the bifu
 rcation in 20th century music\, Francis Poulenc is an exemplar: a devoutly
  religious hedonist plagued by manic depression. His baroque-influenced 19
 38 Organ concerto enshrines these conflicting passions\, and his 1948 Sinf
 onia (a BBC commission) runs the gamut of emotions marking his and the cen
 tury's life.\n\nBoletos: https://wegottickets.com/event/707848
