Latin text from the Vulgate. Vocal score will probably already appear in May, the full score—after Venice. Ask Dr. E. Roth (B&H in London) to send you the second set of proofs that I have just corrected—it will be easier, because here I have only manuscripts. I just finished (and sent back to London) an important arrangement of J. S. Bach's Chorale and five canonic variations—Vom Himmel hoch da komm' ich her—for instrumental ensemble and choir. I will conduct it with my Canticum in Venice and Bob [will conduct it] here, at Ojai, in the month of May. Poor Marie Blanche! Was it a stroke?

What Halffter solicits is at the same time both touching and impossible for me. If you only knew everything I have to do before embarking in mid-June for Europe (Greece and Constantinople for our vacation, then concerts: Venice, Switzerland, Germany, Vienna and London, then returning to New York for Christmas, triple concert with the Philharmonic—Rite and Persephone—and recording Persephone with Columbia.)* I finished my Canticum Sacrum (short, 16 minutes, and quite difficult) and now . . . proofs, which means—corrections! Having finished the Canticum, I have put myself to work on an instrumental version (with choir) of J. S. Bach's Canonic Variations on Vom Himmel hoch da komm' ich her, which I have decided to do with my Canticum in Venice along with other compositions of a religious nature: Andrea Gabrieli, Schütz, Monteverdi, Gesualdo. The Bach Variations are taking more time than I thought. I am going to have Bob perform them here in the Ojai Festival in May where I am conducting my Noces. This work is interrupted by all sorts of things and right at this moment, for at least a week, by an “abbreviated version of Petroushka” for TV cartoons, length—12 minutes. They are making episodes of the start, of Petroushka's cell, of the Moor, one part of the Disguises and of Petroushka's death. In brief —a potpourri; and I am doing it for money!!! Yes, sir, it is certainly blameworthy but also excusable when one thinks of the taxes that gouge us without pity. *All this at the beginning of January 1957 to which a showing of Vera's paintings has just been added.

Bach sur Vom Himmel hoch da komm’ ich her, que j’ai decide de faire avec mon Canticum a Venise a cote d’autre composition de caractere religieux : Andrea Gabrielli, Schutz, Monteverd[i], Gesualdo. Les Variations de Bach me prennent plus de temps que je pensais. Je vais les faire jouer ici par Bob dans les festivals d’Ojai en mai ou je dirige mes Noces.

Regarding projects with Venice, I believe Nabokov is a bit too wrapped up in his own enthusiasm. The fact is that ten months ago the Venice Biennale submitted a project to me to compose a religious work for them (they wanted [it for] 1956) that would be performed for the first time under my direction at St Mark's Cathedral. Personally, I am very interested in this, but nothing will get done or even get started so long as I have not received and signed the contract with the Biennale. The misfortune is precisely that this contract is dragging and is making me wait indefinitely. I proposed a short “Passion according to Saint Mark” which pleased them greatly. But as for me, as the Unions here say: “No contract, no work” . . . We hope to see you somewhere during our European stay. Love, I.

Le fait est que depuis 10 mois La Biennale de Venise m’a soumis un projet pour composer pour eux (ils desiraient 1956) une œuvre de caractere religieux qui serait donnee pour la premiere fois sous ma direction a la Cathedrale St. Marc. Personnellement je suis tres interesse par cette chose mais rien ne se fera ni ne commencera tant que je n’aurai pas recu et signe le contrat avec la Biennale.

Indeed, we’ve been without news from you for a long time, but, as you say nothing to me about yourself, being full of discretion, I will not ask you questions and will try to convince myself that everything is following its normal course. It depends on one question: am I right? Please respond. We are going to Europe once again this spring, at the end of March this time, because Vera will have (at the start of April) her first art show (Galleria Obelisco in Rome). Exciting news, isn’t it? To make this journey work I have arranged a few concerts. So, we fly from NY to Lisbon to conduct my first concert in Madrid (March 25), from there to Rome (April 6), then Baden-Baden (April 22), then Lugano (April 28) and Stuttgart (May 3) from where we go to Copenhagen to take this new SAS Danish airplane from there that as of today flies to Los Angeles (22 hours through the Arctic). Will we see one another somewhere in Europe? Please respond. Happy to have your kind remarks about my In Memoriam. I have already recorded it (Columbia), yes, just a few days before its premiere in concert (conducted by Bob Craft) in Dylan Thomas’s memory, this piece was played beside unforgettable works by Purcell, Gabrieli, Schütz, and Bach. Aldous Huxley also very graciously took part in this, paying homage to the great poet. I will conduct In Memoriam in Rome (probably Cuénod) with my Cantata (probably Laszlo and Cuénod); the second half of the program will be Oedipus Rex (probably Laszlo and Peter Pears). It would be too good so see you at this concert! Love, I Str. � Stravinsky à Boulanger Hollywood 14 novembre 1954 Carissima Nadia, Votre sympathique lettre m’a fait grand plaisir ; en effet, il y a longtemps qu’on est sans nouvelles de vous mais, comme vous ne me parlez rien de vous-même, plein de discretion je ne vous pose pas de questions et tache de me convaincre que tout suit son cours normal. Une question dependant : ai-je raison ? R.S.V.P. Nous allons de nouveau en Europe ce printemps, fin mars cette fois-ci, car Vera aura (debut avril) sa premiere exposition de tableaux (galleria Obelisco a Rome). Exciting news, n’est-ce pas ? Pour realiser ce voyage j’ai arrange qq concerts. Donc on vole de NY a Lisbonne pour diriger mon premier concert a Madrid (25 mars), de la a Rome (6 avril), puis Baden Baden [sic] (22 avril), puis Lugano (28 avril) et Stuttgart (3 mai) d’où en va a Copenhague pour y prendre ce nouvel avion danois SAS qui commence aujourd’hui meme ces vols a Los Angeles (22 heures par les regions arctiques). Se verra-t-on quelque part en Europe? R.S.V.P. Heureux d’avoir vos bonnes paroles sur mon In Memoriam. Je l’ai déjà enregistre (Columbia), oui, juste qq jours avant sa premiere dans un concert (dirige par Bob Craft) a la mémoire de Dylan Thomas, ou cette piece était jouee a cote des pages inoubliables de Purcell, Gabrielli , Schütz et Bach. Alduous Huxley y pris part tres gracieusement lui aussi rendant hommage au grand poete. Je vais diriger In Memoriam a Rome (probablement Cuenod) avec ma Cantate (probablement Laszlo et Cuenod); la seconde moitie du programme sera Oedipus Rex (probablement Laszlo et Peter Pears). Ce serait trop beau de vous voir a ce concert !

We just arrived (with Milène and André) from Lisbon; what a flight! As fast as it was calm. I won’t forget the Webern arrangement of the Bach Ricercare: as soon as I find it, I will have it copied for you. I understand nothing of what you wrote to me about the Scherzo à la Russe and Lugano, where I conducted a program of chamber music. You must have heard the broadcast from Rome where I actually played it in my symphonic concert on April 15, and without cuts of course. The idiotic cut of the First Trio (the canon with the piano and harp) was made, I suppose, by the broadcasting station for reasons that I can only guess at; either they were short on time (the cut of this canon would gain them 1 minute), or they didn’t care for the music of the canon, or, perhaps, the two reasons together. In any case, I had nothing to do with it. It was good to see you in London. How did your performance of the Septet go? Love, kisses, I Str. � Stravinsky à Boulanger 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood California 15 juin 1954 Nadia cherie, merci [sic] de votre si gentille lettre (10 juin). Nous venons d’arriver (avec Milene et Andre) de Lisboa; quel vol! aussi rapide que calme. N’oublierai pas l’instrumentation de Webern du Bach Richercare : des que je la retrouverai je vous la ferai photostater. N’ai rien compris de ce que vous m’ecrivez au sujet du Scherzo a la russe et de Lugano ou je dirigeais un programme de musique de chambre. Vous avez du l’entendre transmit de Rome ou je l’avais joue, en effet, dans mon concert symphonique du 15 avril et sans coupures bien entendu. Cette coupure idiote du 1er Trio (le canon du Piano et Harpe) était faite, je suppose, par la station emettrise pour des raisons que je devine: ou [sic] etaient- ils a court de temps (la coupure de ce canon leur faisait gagner 1 minute), ou la musique de ce canon leur deplaisait, ou, encore, les deux raisons ensemble. Moi, en tout cas, je n’y suis pour rien. C’etait bon de vous avoir eu a Londres. Comment c’est passee votre execution du SEPTET ? Love, kisses I.
