Nadia Boulanger - composer, critic, impresario and the most famous
composition teacher of the twentieth century - was also a performer
of international repute. Her concerts and recordings with her vocal
ensemble introduced audiences on both sides of the Atlantic to
unfamiliar historical works and new compositions. This book
considers how gender shaped the possibilities that marked
Boulanger's performing career, tracing her meteoric rise as a
conductor in the 1930s to origins in the classroom and the salon.
Brooks investigates Boulanger's promotion of structurally motivated
performance styles, showing how her ideas on performance of
historical repertory and new music relate to her teaching of music
analysis and music history. The book explores the way in which
Boulanger's musical practice relied upon her understanding of the
historically transcendent masterwork, in which musical form and
meaning are ideally joined, and shows how her ideas relate to
broader currents in French aesthetics and culture.
