Meditation from Thais for flute quintet

Massenet’s opera “Thais” contains one of his loveliest songs, rendered in our day by soprano luminaries such as Renee Fleming and Beverly Sills. It is a focal point of the opera, where the repentant courtesan, Thais, reveals her soul. As a fluid and restful piece with dramatic moments, it is suitable to complement other more lively program selections.
