Vocal music was particularly close to Lili Boulanger's heart. In addition to songs, the cantata “Faust et Hélène”, with which she won the Prix de Rome in 1913, and her psalm settings with orchestral accompaniment, she composed numerous choral works with piano. The colorful, tone-painting works are almost always about depictions of nature - naturally intended as a symbol of human life. “Take comfort, earth, nature ..., winter is a sleep and not death. Spring returns ..., man grows old and dies; but you, you do not grow old,” says her piece ‘Soleils de Septembre’, based on a text by Auguste Lacaussade. It is wonderful that Berlin choir singers are keeping the music of the composer, who died young, alive.
