“For
as long as there are
poets there will be
songs. If someone was to
put on my tomb: 'Here
lies Francis Poulenc,
musician to Apollinaire
and Éluard:' that
really would be my finest
claim to fame,†the
composer declared in
1945. Right from boyhood
his attraction to poetry
was practically equal to
his love of music. And in
fact the young Poulenc
took to song-writing
quite naturally, starting
in 1919. Poulenc compiled
a catalogue of 150 songs,
a body of works of
consistently high
quality, containing great
diversity, that marks him
out as the last major
exponent in this genre.
These editions belong to
“Musique vocale
française,†a
series devoted to French
vocal repertoire –
both in original and
transposed key –
designed for students and
teachers as well as
professionals; they
include original poems
and English
translations.
