Francis Poulenc

Taylor & Francis

This collection of essays provides vivid new insights into Poulenc\u2019s world, his particular rapport with painters, writers and fellow musicians, and with the social \u00E9lite 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 Eluard\u2019s 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\u2019s 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 programmes \u2019A b\u00C3\u00A2tons rompus\u2019. > This collecs
