Book excerpt: This collection of essays provides vivid new insights into Poulenc‘s world, his particular rapport with painters, writers and fellow musicians, and with the socialte who promoted his music through their salons. Contributions from international Poulenc scholars include the influence of various artists on his music, the nature of his affinity for Eluards poetry, his response to texts by Cocteau and Bernanos, and his constant search for suitable libretti. New light is thrown on two friendships, the first with his childhood friend Raymonde Linossier who introduced him to the world of books, the second to his teacher Charles Koechlin who greatly influenced his choral style. A detailed study is also provided of Poulenc‘s four choral works with orchestra. Finally, the reader is allowed a rare view of Poulenc at the microphone, not as interviewee but as radio presenter, in his 1947-1949 series of programmesA bâtons rompus.

Book excerpt: An authoritative account of the life and work of Francis Poulenc, one of the most prolific and striking figures in twentieth-century classical music "An assured overview of Poulenc's life and work."--Alex Ross, New Yorker "Essential reading for anyone interested in the French musical culture of Poulenc's time. This is the biography the composer deserves."--Christopher Dingle, BBC Music Magazine, Named one of the Best Books on Classical Music in 2020 by BBC Music Magazine Francis Poulenc is a key figure in twentieth-century classical music, as well as an unorthodox and striking individual. Roger Nichols draws upon Poulenc's music and other primary sources to write an authoritative life of this great artist. Although associated with five other French composers in what came to be called "Les Six", Poulenc was very much sui generis in personality and in his music, where he excelled over a wide repertoire--opera, songs, ballet scores, chamber works, piano pieces, sacred and secular choral works, orchestral works and concertos. This book fully covers this wide range, while also describing the vicissitudes of Poulenc's life and the many important relationships he had with major figures such as Satie, Ravel, Stravinsky, Diaghilev, Cocteau and others.

Book excerpt: In the fifty years since his sudden death in January 1963, a wealth of memoirs has accumulated about Francis Poulenc, and almost every one of these has something new to tell: the composer himself recognised the existence of 'Janus-Poulenc', to which Darius Milhaud's widow Madeleine responded by saying that two sides did not do him justice. Drawing on a wealth of source material, Roger Nichols presents an invaluable and accessible portrait of the 'irresistible, insupportable, dear Poulenc'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name of Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was first brought to prominence in the 1920s as a member of Les Six, a group of young French composers encouraged by Satie and Cocteau. His subsequent fame spread well beyond France, and he is coming to be regarded as one of this century's most significant composers. His compositions are heard constantly in concert halls the world over, and numerous recordings, including complete sets of songs and piano music, have been released. Books, articles and more than a dozen doctoral dissertations have discussed his music. Carl Schmidt's catalogue of Poulenc's works represents the first comprehensive attempt to list an oeuvre which numbers approximately 185 compositions written from his teenage years until his death at the age of 63. The Catalogue indentifies a number of unpublished works, and adds a small group of compositions to his musical canon for the first time. Each work, whether complete or unfinished, published or unpublished, is described fully. Catalogue entries list and describe all known printed editions (including reprints) and manuscript copies of each work. In addition, they provide detailed compositional histories based on numerous letters, documents, and press accounts, many of which have not been published previously. Russian interest in Poulenc's music, manifested in press runs exceeding one million copies, is also revealed for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acknowledged master of mélodie, Francis Poulenc’s prolific song œuvre exceeds the collections of all other French composers who wrote in this genre. Yet despite Poulenc’s prolific output and its significance to art song repertoire, few volumes dedicated to study of Poulenc’s works have appeared in print. This text offers a theory on the marginalized popularity of Poulenc’s songs and strategies for their study that can assist performers in their appreciation and interpretation of his work. The Mélodies of Francis Poulenc is the first work to contain the complete collection of Poulenc’s song compositions, providing IPA transcriptions and word-for-word translations in an easy reference format. Also included are the highly regarded poetic translations of Winifred Radford. In their introduction to the songs, Deeter and Peavler formulate a methodology for the proper interpretation and study of the Poulenc’s works. Finally, this work features a musical terms index, select discography of downloadable sound files, and a song title index. Teachers of singing, vocal coaches, professional singers, accompanists, and students of art song will find the The Mélodies of Francis Poulenc an invaluable tool for the study and instruction of Poulenc’s songs.

Book excerpt: Suivre les pas de Poulenc, c'est vivre dans un Paris de légende ; aller à la rencontre de Picasso, Matisse et Dufy, d'Apollinaire et Gide, de Radiguet et Max Jacob ; découvrir les ateliers du Montparnasse artiste, entrer chez les marchands de tableaux qui défendent le cubisme, suivre les créations des Mamelles de Tirésias et de Parade, participer à l'aventure des Ballets russes, passer de la comète étincelante de Cocteau au lyrisme et aux litanies poétiques d'Éluard. Il n'est guère de destin de musicien comparable à celui-là. Un musicien pétri de théâtre, de poésie et de peinture, tout à la fois enfant et témoin de la France de la première moitié du XXe siècle, où s'entrechoquent les Années folles, la grande crise des années 1930 et deux guerres mondiales. « Ma musique est mon portrait », disait-il peu avant sa disparition. Tout au long de son existence, Poulenc se présente, se peint, se confie, avoue même se confesser en musique. Plus sans doute que chez aucun autre compositeur, sa vie nourrit son ouvre. Écrire sa biographie, c'est éclairer son imaginaire, son style et son esthétique.Se fondant sur nombre de sources inédites (correspondances, archives, témoignages), explorant les relations du musicien à sa famille, au milieu artistique et culturel de son temps, à l'église et au Tout-Paris, à l'avant-garde et à la tradition, aux musiques populaires et aux musiques du passé, croisant l'intime et le social, le travail secret du compositeur et l'activité publique du concertiste, éclairant les nombreuses contradictions qui animent cette personnalité hors du commun, Hervé Lacombe livre le portrait nuancé et foisonnant d'un homme à fleur de peau, déchiré par des aspirations et des désirs incompatibles, soucieux de prendre place dans l'histoire de la musique tout en restant fidèle à un monde dont il observe la disparition.
