Harmonium, celesta and soprano. Very cool combo!
The extraordinary Herzgewächse by #Schoenberg (that vocal line!) Fun fact: #Boulez played the harmonium in a 1945 performance and #Poulenc played the celesta part in 1921. Imagine if they had performed together in an ensemble... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qzk...
