Wetherly Drive Hollywood, California March 18, 1949 Dearest Nadia, Just a note accompanies this Latin version of my a cappella chorale works with which you are familiar—“Pater Noster” and “Ave Maria.” I have just arranged this version for use in the Catholic Church, of course, but it would certainly be desirable for Protestant churches to take advantage of them as well. Did you hear my Mass by Ansermet in London (BBC) not long ago? The BBC also performed Orpheus.* I’ve just recorded both of them (Mass and Orpheus) in New York (Victor). Orpheus will come out in September and the Mass at Christmas. I did the latter with children (not with women, like Ansermet) who were unfortunately not quite of the highest level. Unlike in Europe, here they don't have the tradition of training Discanti and Alti. However, I had to settle on the children, because the presence of women's voices, however perfect they might be, would be a much more serious error in the music of my Mass (for the sense and the spirit of this music) than the imperfection of a children's choir. Love, I Str. *I tremble at the idea of what the music of my poor Orpheus must have been in the hands of Mr. Lichine and the Ballet des Champs Elysees! � Stravinsky à Boulanger 1260 N. Wetherly Drive Hollywood, California 18 mars 1949 Dearest Nadia, Juste un mot accompagnant cette version latine de mes chœurs a capella que vous connessez [sic] —Pater Noster et Ave Maria. Je viens d’arranger cette version pour l’usage du culte catholique bien entendu, mais il serait certainement souhaitable que les eglises [sic] protestante en profitent eux aussi. Avez-vous entendu dernierement ma Messe par Ansermet a Londres (BBC) ? Il y joua egalement Orphée.* Viens d’enregistrer tous les deux (Messe et Orphée) a New York (VICTOR). Orphée paraitra en Septembre et la Messe a Noel. Cette derniere, je l’avais fait avec des enfants (pas avec des femmes, comme Ansermet) qui etaient malheureusement pas tout a fait de premier ordre. Ici, ils n’ont pas, comme en Europe, la tradition des metrieses [sic] des Discanti et Alti. Cependant j’ai du me decider pour les enfants car la presence des voix de femmes, aussi parfaites soient-elles, dans la musique de ma Messe serait une imprudence bien plus grave (pour le sens et l’esprit de cette musique) que l’imperfection d’un chœur d’enfants. Love I Str. *Je tremble a l’idee [sic] de ce qui a du etre la musique de mon pauvre Orphée entre les mains de Mr. Lishine et le Ballet des Champs Elysees ! � 1949 Author: Igor Stravinsky Ave Maria David Linchine Igor Location: California Mass Orpheus Pater Noster Recipient: Nadia Boulanger https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/27250514ab4b2ce2521d3e0a83366e1f.pdf fcdaeeefe58cd6659e09d570ff8d3198 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/dbe2112a46ad6e2294bc5fb636a1c94a.pdf 188fd2b2be87391b4450b0f1247cdd7a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It has to do with the Lili Boulanger Memorial Fund. For reasons I believe you will judge to be unnecessary to expose you to, I hope this year that the prize can be shared between Preger, whom you like and appreciate as I do, and a little, immensely talented Czech student, Karel Husa, who must at all costs be helped right now. I would rather have sent you one of his manuscripts, but he isn’t able to photograph them. He has had many manuscripts lost and I don’t dare to ask him to send the sole examples that he possesses. I therefore ask you to trust me. I am certain that you would agree. Thank you for the telegram that touched me so much. I have a million things to tell you, but this cold has done me a nasty turn. I am, once again, very tired and can’t even do what is required of me each day. I think of you ceaselessly and am more than sad not to see you anymore. It is such a great sorrow. I send you both my love, and know that I am your, Nadia [P.S.] I cannot speak to you about the Mass this way. It is of an incalculable importance, and an unlimited significance. I love it more than I know how to say. It is ridiculous to try to express such things. But you know them . . . � Boulanger à Stravinsky 18 March 1949 Cher Igor Ce mot n’est pas celui que j’ai besoin de vous écrire, mais celui que je dois vous écrire. Il s’agit du Lili Boulanger Memorial Fund. Pour des raisons que je crois vous jugeriez superflu de vous voir exposer, je souhaite que le Prix cette année soit partagé entre Preger que vous aimez et appréciez comme moi, et un petit Tchèque de grand talent, Karel Husa, qu’il faut à tous prix aider en ce moment. J’aurais voulu vous envoyer un de ses manuscrits, mais il ne peut faire photographier. Il a eu plusieurs partitions perdues et je n’ose lui demander d’envoyer les exemplaires uniques qu’il possède. Je vous demande donc de me faire confiance. Je crois être sûr que vous seriez d’accord. Merci pour le télégramme qui m’a tant touchée. J’ai mille choses à vous raconter, mais la grippe m’a joué un tour pendable. Je suis encore très fatiguée et ne fais pas même ce que chaque jour exige. Je pense à vous sans cesse et suis plus que triste de ne plus vous voir. C’est un grand chagrin. Embrassez-vous tous de ma part, et sachez que je suis votre, Nadia [P.-S.] Ce n’est pas ainsi que je peux vous parler de la Messe.

It's been nine years since you yourself conducted the premiere. Your shadow (or rather your light) will be evoked with dignity. We are passing through NY where I am rehearsing with the musicians.

Concerto (second time) The decision to postpone our trip to Europe was very beneficial for me even though I had to live through some rather difficult times before regaining my equilibrium and continuing my work. This work, as you probably know, is Orpheus. Balanchine is expecting it in the autumn. Its premiere—probably the end of November. Two thirds (including orchestration) already done. I have great hopes that you will like this music. What a joy to finally have Milène here and also to see her so happy. All three of them shine with happiness. Attached are two little pages that require your signature, without which it’s impossible to renew the registration on your car. Vera, who's packing the suitcases right now and who sends you her love, lent this car to a young man just back from the war who had not a cent to his name but who has a wife and two children. You will make this young man happy in returning these two little sheets filled in with your kind signature to us,* if possible by return post (and by air mail).

But today I’m only going to talk about the Lili Boulanger Memorial Fund. This year we would like to give the prize to a young boy who deserves it—and who greatly needs us to support him: Jean Michel [Dufay]—a true musician, a cultivated and well-guided spirit heading in the right direction. I am sure you would agree with the quality of his work—his taste and his technique— and his intuition. He is eighteen years old and is good in every respect. Moreover, he has a difficult situation—he lost his mother and little brother at eleven. Thank you, and if you are in agreement, the attached ballot is to be sent signed to Winifred Johnstone, 122 Bay State Road, Boston, Mass. Have you read Leonardo’s writings? I believe his interest in the subject, his care for doing things the right way, his realism—no, his sense of a subject’s reality and its possibilities and limits—will please you. Each day I think of you and understand better what we all [owe] you. But that’s for another day. All my love to Vera and you.

September 22, 1950 Dear, very dear friend, what happiness your letter caused. It seemed to me as if I was going to climb the steps to the garden, to throw myself into your arms. What a great joy that would be! I wrote as soon as possible to Raoul Gunsbourg, summarizing your letter and advising him to write to B&H, to write to Auden, and, if questions remain to which only you can respond, to let me know. In the meantime, another idea came to me: The Festival at Aix where Don Juan and Cosi fan tutte were staged in extraordinarily good conditions—superb set, by Cassandre and Balthus. The orchestra, under the direction of Rosbaud, was perfect. But the deficit being such as it was last year, and the economic outlook being obviously difficult, what is Mr. Bigonnet going to do? It’s possible he doesn’t even know himself. This state of uncertainty, the fear of catastrophic events, give all undertakings such an unstable character that no one dares commit to the future. This nervousness is perhaps the most serious problem. Because, if everything remains in suspense, it is by its very nature deeply demoralizing. And this demoralization is maintained carefully, patiently, by the merry propaganda that is sometimes a little too insistent. It must be weakened, by making plans, by admitting, certainly, that the worst could happen, without knowing. Thus, I wrote to Cassandre. I answered R. Gunsbourg, and will see Pierre de Monaco upon my return. That is, at the beginning of October. Your letter, a marvel of clarity, order, care, did not give a reason for the unexpected arrival of the Sachses, which delighted me, as you can imagine, but is it George’s mother’s health that made them come back? I hope not! Thank you for all the news. You don’t know how much I miss you. You alone have such an influence. But you work there, and your influence exerts itself from afar. It is necessary given current machinations, like these “systems” that fail to hide their shortcomings, which would not be a crime in and of itself, but their lies, etc. those are a much more serious matter. Happily, they affect only those poor miserable souls whose lack of power is no excuse for not opposing [this influence]. Kiss Vera for me and know that not a day passes when I don’t think of you.

J’ai aussitôt écrit à Raoul Gunsbourg, résumant votre lettre lui conseillant de s’adresser à B&H, d’écrire à W Auden, et, s’il reste des questions auxquelles vous seul pourriez répondre, de mes prévenir. Entre temps, il m’est venu une autre idée : la Festival d’Aix où Don Juan et Cosi Fan Tutte ont été donné dans des conditions extraordinairement bonnes—décors superbe, de Cassandre et de Balthus, orchestre sous la direction de Rosbaud, parfait. Mais le déficit a été tel l’an dernier, et les perspectives économiques étant nettement difficiles, que va faire M. Bigonnet, le directeur d’Aix. Il ne le sait, peut-être pas lui-même. Cet état d’incertitude, la crainte d’événements catastrophiques, donne à toute entreprise un caractère si instable, que personne n’ose plus engager l’avenir. Cette nervosité est peut-être le phénomène le plus grave. Car, si tout reste en suspens, par principe, quelle démoralisation. Et cette démoralisation est entretenue soigneusement, patiemment, par une propagande heureusement parfois trop voyante. Il faut l’affaiblir, en faisant des projets, en admettant certes, que le pire peut arriver, sans le prévoir. Donc, j’écris à Cassandre. J’ai répondu à R. Gunsbourg, et verrai Pierre de Monaco dès mon retour. C'est-à-dire au début d’octobre. Votre lettre, merveille de clarté, d’ordre, de soin, ne me donne pas la raison du retour inattendu, des Sachs, qui me ravit, vous le pensez bien, mais est-ce la santé de la mère de George qui les fait revenir ? J’espère que non ! Merci de toutes les nouvelles, vous ne savez pas combien vous manquez, vous seul, qui avez [sic] une influence. Mais vous travaillez là-bas, et, de loin, votre influence s’exerce. Il le faut avec des diableries, comme les systèmes qui cachent mal leur pauvreté ce qui ne serait pas un crime, mais leur fausse etc. ce qui est plus sérieux. Heureusement qu’ils n’agissent que sur des pauvres malheureux dont l’impuissance n’excuse pas la prévention. Embrassez Vera et sachez que je ne passe pas de jour sans penser à vous.

I rejoice for you, but I am sad, very sad. It was such a great and necessary happiness. We all needed you so much. The agreement (l’accord) that awaited you would have moved you. It cannot be so. It’s sad for us—a cruel disappointment. But I’m convincing myself that it’s better [this way], that you are right. Sorry for not being able to write you. I do nothing but produce variations on a single theme, [an] ostinato, and you would find me boredom personified. Therefore, having told you about my grief all the same, I thank you for this Orpheus that gives up a few more of its secrets to me every day [and] that has dazzled me with its beauty since the first reading. What a marvelous composition. What beautiful music. What order and what invention. Every . . . but what ridicule I set myself up for. I see myself explaining your own score to you. How naïve. I know well enough that in front of you we must listen and keep quiet. I only want to speak so as to provoke and incite your reactions. How far away they are, and so present, the beautiful, dear days spent at your house. I think of them with joy, and find in them an ever-renewed spring that nourishes and drives me. Dear Igor, Dear Vera, I love you tenderly. I discover this with renewed feeling following your seemingly certain arrival. And now Easter’s here. I remember its promise and again want to believe in our reunion, God knows where and when. With fondness, I am your NB P.S. Tell me what I owe you for the score. I am so happy to have it. I liked Haïeff’s article a lot! � Boulanger à Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu 23 mars 1948 Que vous dire, mon Ami, je comprends. Je me réjouis pour vous, mais je suis triste, très triste. C’était un si grand, un si nécessaire bonheur. Nous avions tous si grand besoin de vous. L’accord qui vous attendait vous aurait touché. Il n’en peut être ainsi, c’est un malheur pour nous, une cruelle déception. Mais je me persuade que c’est mieux, que vous avez raison. Pardon de ne pouvoir vous écrire, je ne ferais que des Variations sur un seul thème, ostinato, et vous me trouveriez l’ennui personnifié. Donc, vous ayant dit tout de même mon chagrin, je vous remercie de cet Orpheus qui chaque jour me livre un peu de ses secrets, avoir m’avoir ébloui par sa beauté dès la 1ère lecture. Quelle merveilleuse composition. Quelle belle musique. Quel ordre et quelle invention. Chaque…mais dans quel ridicule ne vais-je pas tomber. Je me vois vous expliquant votre partition. Comme on est naïf. Allons, je sais bien qu’il faut, devant vous, écouter, et se taire. Seulement j’ai envie de parler pour vous provoquer et susciter vos réactions. Qu’ils sont lointains, et si présents, les beaux, chers jours passés chez vous. J’y pense de la joie, et y trouve une source toujours renouvelée qui me nourrit, me pousser[sic]. Cher Igor, Chère Véra, je vous aime tendrement. Je le découvre, avec un nouveau sentiment, votre venue paraissant si sûre. Voici Pâques. J’en retiens la promesse et veux encore croire à notre réunion. Dieu sait où et quand. Je vous embrasse et suis votre, NB P.-S. Dites-moi ce que je vous dois pour la partition. Que je suis heureuse de l’avoir. Aimé beaucoup l’article de Haïeff ! � 1948 Alexei Haïeff Author: Nadia Boulanger Nadia Location: 36 rue Ballu Orpheus Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Vera Stravinsky
