Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin

Francis Poulenc (1899-1963)

A master of wit and elegance, Francis Poulenc was equal parts boulevardier and enfant terrible. His melodic gifts and prolific output made him one of the 20th century’s most enduring composers. Even more impressive, Poulenc was the only self-taught member of Les Six. This group of young French composers was comprised of the brightest stars of contemporary French music. Bill displays the range of Poulenc's pieces this week— from witty parody to deep tragedy and everything in between.
