This collection of essays provides vivid new insights into
Poulenc's world, his particular rapport with painters, writers and
fellow musicians, and with the social elite 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's 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
programmes 'A bActons rompus'.
