A very hard to find volume. Lili Boulanger was a French composer (the sister of Nadia Boulanger), a child prodigy who, in her short life, composed a significant body of music - much of it vocal and instrumental chamber work and orchestral compositions - becoming the first women to win the Prix de Rome, before her untimely death from tuberculosis at the age of 24.
