  • Songs and Chamber Music of Reynaldo Hahn and Francis Poulenc

    Songs and Chamber Music of Reynaldo Hahn and Francis Poulenc

    Songs and Chamber Music of Reynaldo Hahn and Francis Poulenc ! In 2013 I was asked to curate a series of three concerts at the Brighton Festival and I chose to focus on the chamber music and songs of Poulenc and Hahn. !“Les chansons instrumentales” The series was partly a commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Poulenc, and partly a study in the contrasting musical styles, and wholly a !celebration of French music. It was a wonderful opportunity to explore the relatively unknown chamber music and songs by Reynaldo Hahn, a composer that I have always admired and who’s compositional style I feel suits my artistic temperament. We had a wonderful time performing his songs, the epic piano quintet and charming piano quartet as well as some works for flute and piano, and flute, viola and !piano. The series was very popular with the audience, and we received a lot of feedback, especially to say how much the audience enjoyed the unusual !pieces by Hahn. Les Chanson Instrumentales: Part 1: Wednesday 15 May 2013 Partly a commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Poulenc, partly a study in contrasting musical styles, and wholly a celebration of French music, this series of chamber concerts reunites many of the artists who began their careers in our Lunchtime concerts. Curated by the pianist James Baillieu, who made a big impression in last year’s Festival, it is a chance to explore the charm and originality of the French chamber music repertory. The Irish soprano Ailish Tynan is noted for the breadth of her repertory, and is a noted exponent of French song.

Beginning with its Renaissance ancestry as the dulcian, it developed during the Baroque period into an almost indispensable part of the ensemble. By 1700, it had achieved a permanent place in the continuo group, used as the bass foundation for trio sonatas and other larger works whenever the upper voices consisted of oboes. The double-reeds matched each other in pitch and timbre, and as time wore on further modifications in terms of bore and the addition of keys made it versatile enough to emerge from the shadow of the continuo group. The tone of the instrument by 1750 was smooth and mellow with a softer upper register, a solid middle, and a sonorous bass, with the capability by this date of descending down to a low B-flat.
