In celebration of Lili Boulanger\u2019s 125th birthday on August 21st we are sharing an arrangement of her work <\/span>Cort\u00e8ge<\/span><\/i> held in the Merritt Room of the Isham Memorial Library. Lili wrote this piece for piano while at the Villa Medici in Rome as the first female winner of the Prix de Rome in June of 1914. It was published for violin or flute and piano in <\/span>1919 by Ricordi<\/span><\/a> with a dedication to violinist Yvonne Astruc. The manuscript is held at the Biblioth\u00e8que Nationale de France in Paris (BN Ms.19439 and Ms.19440), along with a transcription in Nadia\u2019s Boulanger\u2019s hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

The arrangement was by Nadia, her sister, for solo violin and 18 other musicians: flute, harp, celesta, triangle, violin I (5), violin II (3), viola (2), cello (2), contrabass (2).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Manuscript,<\/a>
