Description

A Thousand Beautiful Things, June 2019
Under the direction of Dr. Anne J. Matlack
Grace Episcopal Church, Madison, New Jersey
Piano: Helen Raymaker

Debussy's only a cappella music for chorus is the Trois Chansons. The 35 songs he composed for voice and piano are a rich source of material, tempting to arrangers for chorus. Beau Soir is found in several arrangements, the best of which is this by Stanley Hoffman, Boston composer, vocalist, and lecturer, editor at ECS Publishing, and Founding Music Director of The Temple Israel of Natick Singers. The subtle inflections of the French language strongly influenced all of Debussy’s work.This song is sublimely understated and coloristic, setting a poem by Paul Bourget (1852-1935).
