Pure joy and overwhelming sadness

are the hallmarks of this programme featuring strings, winds and piano. Joy in the case of Francis Poulencā€™s Sextet, which is often playful and virtuosic, and sadness in the case of Louis Vierneā€™s Quintet, composed in memory of his young son who died in battle. These two works by French composers will be separated by Igor Stravinskyā€™s attempt at serial writing, his Septet.
