Alison Fierst Performs Debussy’s “Beau Soir”

Wishing you comfort this Sunday. ☀ Let Debussy’s “Beau Soir” performed by Associate Principal Flute Alison Fierst be a moment of peace for you today.
An abridged translation of the lyrics to Claude Debussy’s languid and evocative song, here, arranged for flute:
“When 'neath the setting sun glows a river in evening
And the warm summer wind blows out across the fields,
And it calls us and tells us to be happy
And it climbs up towards the troubled heart.” 
