Mad About Nuns 1952–1956

View through CrossRef
This chapter focuses on Francis Poulenc's devotion to three very different works. It analyzes Ave verum that Poulenc wrote for women's voices and commissioned by the Howard Heinz Foundation to be performed at the Pittsburgh International Contemporary Music Festival. It also explains that the other two works were both for two pianos and dedicated to Poulenc's friends, such as Capriccio d'après Le Bal masque that was dedicated to Sam Barber. The chapter illustrates Poulenc's stay in France through the rest of 1952, where he suffered serious eye problems and headaches that made work impossible. It also talks about Poulenc's series of six interviews with Stéphane Audel for the Swiss Radio after he left France for Ouchy-Lausanne.
