Henriëtte Bosmans: 10 Mélodies

Dutch composer Henriëtte Bosmans survived the war-torn Netherlands through both WWI and WWII, saving her mother from a concentration camp. She composed Dix Mélodies starting in 1949, after the war, after the death of her mother, and just a few years before her own passing. You can hear Henriëtte and her partner Noémie Perugia performing some of these songs on YouTube. The score is available through Sheet Music Plus.Recordings featured in this episode, performed by Sarah Austin, mezzo-soprano, and Ellen Rissinger, pianist:La chanson des marins halésLe regard éternelLa chanson fataleLe diable dans la nuitRecorded at the Carnegie Mellon School of Music Recording Studio in Pittsburgh, PA.***So Lit Song Lit is a production of Cincinnati Song Initiative.
