Nocturne for Flute and Piano

By Boulanger Marie-Juliette

Lili Boulanger: Nocturne for Flute and Piano was written in 1911, and originally scored for solo violin and piano accompaniment. As the title suggests the nighttime was the basis of inspiration for this composition.
The Nocturne was written a year before she started her composition studies at the Paris Conservatoire while already being proficient at singing and playing the piano, violin, cello, and harp.

Boulanger Marie-Juliette

Marie-Juliette ("Lili") Boulanger (1893-1918) was a French composer, the first female winner of the Prix de Rome composition prize in 1913 when she was only 19 years old (for cantata Faust et Hélène). Claude Debussy's music was a great influence on Lili and her older sister Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979) who was a noted composer as well. Among her most prominent works: Les sirènes for soprano and choir, three psalm settings and symphonic poem D'un matin de printemps.
