About the music 

Clare Hammond has devised a programme of works by French composers, all written (with one exception – the piece by Tailleferre) between 1898 and 1919, the Belle Epoque era. Beyond being encompassed by those 20 years or so, the works share a stylistic approach, often likened to the approach of the French Impressionist painters, active around the same time, even if Debussy himself was sceptical of the comparison. 


Listen to excerpts from two of the pieces:
 

Fauré - Nocturne No.12 - Clare Hammond
00:00 / 02:12
Bonis - Mélisande
00:00 / 01:39

Established in 2023, Fressingfield Sounds aims to enrich the local community through exceptional musicians playing great music.
