A large program of French music for choir and Orchestra. The play of the evening is the Poulenc Gloria. Work of a laughing fervor, great choral Symphony of contrasts so exaggerated, it reflected an aesthetic that wants to move forward. At this concert, you will also hear his first religious work, the litany to the Virgin black (1936), where, all of a sudden, he finds his dimension of great Catholic musician and Concerto for organ, one of the most performed concertos. Built in the spirit of the baroque style, it plays continuously while it presents contrasting, movements United by a thematic relationship.
