C. Debussy               Syrinx for solo flute

• Composed by Debussy in 1913 as incidental music for Psyché, a dramatic poem by French symbolist poet and playwright Gabriel Mourey, the work for solo flute known today as Syrinx, has since become a standard of the solo flute repertoire. By performing this great work on baroque flute, new insights both harmonic and tonal are revealed.

Richard Rodney Bennett     A Week of Birthdays for solo harpsichord
These seven short pieces reflect the traditional rhyme: –

• Monday’s child is fair of face,
• Tuesday’s child is full of grace.
• Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
• Thursday’s child has far to go.
• Friday’s child is loving and giving,
• Saturday’s child works hard for a living.
• And the child born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, and good and gay
