Unless the world is a little different than I thought Lili (for that is
the name of the Boulanger referred to) is a girl's name. This was music
by Lili Boulanger, younger and lesser-known sister of the legendary Nadia.
The works played at that prom concert were:
Psalm 24
Psalm 130 "Du Fond de l'Abime"
I had heard of Lili but never heard her music. Interesting but not
world-shattering discoveries, I thought. Just the kind of thing that
the BBC Proms is good at, though.
