about

"The Divine Flower" is the title track from the documentary De Hemelse Bloem (2022) directed by Tessa van der Riet. The score of the film was inspired by Lili Boulanger’s 1918 composition D’un matin de printemps (of a spring morning), to which references can be heard throughout "The Divine Flower". Lili Boulanger, the younger sister of Nadia Boulanger, was a french composer of the early 20th century. She was the first woman to receive the Prix de Rome composition prize and was highly prolific before her death at the age of 25, writing some 50 pieces of music in her short career. After her death— as with many female composers in the past— her work faded into obscurity only until recent decades. Music history books often gloss over her work, instead favoring composers like Debussy or Wagner. While Boulanger’s work was heavily influenced by her male contemporaries, her music has a definitive style which rightly deserves its recognition in music history.

While the original release featured a single track, this EP re-release features 3 bonus tracks from the film, only available for streaming here on Bandcamp.
