Songs for Insomniacs 89: Charles Tomlinson Griffes “Poem for Flute and Orchestra” — Mimi Stillman, flute — Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle

Evocative tone poem by one of the greatest (and most neglected) impressionist composers, Charles Tomlinson Griffes (the American counterpart of Debussy and Ravel).

Recommended accompaniment: a good bourbon or scotch.
