January 11 - Christian Sinding; Maurice Duruflé (The Musical Birthday Series)

Christian Sinding (11 January 1856 – 3 December 1941) was a Norwegian composer.


...They Just Fade Away

“Rustles of Spring”
Is the sort of a thing
That was once a most frequent selection
Together with myriad
Morceaux of the period
In anyone’s piano bench collection.

Maurice Duruflé (11 January 1902 – 16 June 1986) was a French organist and composer whose small
body of work is still part of the active repertoire.


Go Gently

The Requiem of Duruflé
Is heard to go its placid way
      Unweeping.
So calm, so gentle, so serene,
It’s no surprise when some are seen
      Sleeping.
