Poem

• Griffes, Charles Tomlinson

• Barrere, Georges

Poem for Flute and Orchestra is arguably the most oft-performed work by Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920). Premiered by the New York Symphony Society under the direction of Walter Damrosch. It is somewhat reminiscent of Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, with its languid flute solo, impressionistic harmonies, and delicate orchestration. Georges Barrère, who performed the solo part at the premiere, arranged and edited this version for flute and piano.
