Manage episode 381836817 series 3414884
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.
