My cantata for Venice is called Canticum Sacrum—for tenor, baritone, choir, and a large instrumental ensemble. Not long (17 minutes), somewhat difficult (particularly for the singers’ pitches). 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. Tomorrow the showing of her work at the Santa Barbara Museum will take place . . .

Ayant termine le Canticum je me suis mis au travail d’une version instrumentale (avec chœur) des Variations canoniques de J.S. 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. Ce travail est interrompu par toute espece de choses et en ce moment pour une semaine au moins, par une « abreviated [sic] version of Petroushka » pour des dessins animes a la TV, duree—12 minutes. On prend des episodes du debut, de la cellule de Petrouchka, du Maure, une partie des Deguises et de la mort de Petr.

Forgive me for boring you, but Halffter is very anxious to know if you will agree to participate in the hommage to Manuel de Falla. He considers you of capital importance. Could you ask Vera or Bob to tell me if you are able to write something for Falla before September.

I don’t know what it means because . . . do you have an age . . . or are you always the same, or better yet, always new? This is only meant to bring you wishes full of affection, fondness, and gratitude. I still don’t know—never know. But with you it’s worse, because everything seems so small and useless. And yet I cannot stop myself from sending you this note that is absolutely filled with my affection. We’ve spoken at length with Nabokov this morning about The Rake. We have been dreaming of a truly homogeneous performance. For so long, the people have needed some perspective to help them see, and curiously, despite your recordings and all the directions you have given them, they continue to “interpret” rather than “to transmit.” But why rebel? It’s always been the same, and despite everything the great works survive. How I miss those beautiful days in Rome, to see you again was such a great happiness, you bring so much to those whom you meet, and as for me . . . I love you so much, Dear Igor, as much as I admire you. And now, enough declarations from such a young and beautiful woman . . . what a lack of restraint! Give Vera my best. I regret that her exhibit left before I was able to prove to her I had looked at it carefully. Best wishes to Bob, my tenderness to Milène, and my constant thoughts to you both. Fond wishes, Nadia B.

Ceci ne veut que vous porter des vœux plein d’affection, de tendresse, et de gratitude. Je ne sais pas écrire, jamais, mais à vous, c’est pire, car tout me parait si petit, et inutile. Et pourtant, je me puis m’empêcher de vous vous [sic] envoyer ce signe si chargé d’attachement. Avons parlé longuement des [sic] Rake’s ce matin avec Nabokov. Nous rêvons d’une exécution vraiment homogène. Pendant si longtemps, les gens ont besoin d’un éclairage qui les aide à voir—et chose curieuse, malgré vos disques et toutes les directives qu’ils donnent, on continue à « interpréter » au lieu de « transmettre ». Mais pourquoi se rebeller ? Il en est toujours de même, et les grandes œuvres survivent, malgré tout. Que je regrette ces beaux jours de Rome, vous revoir a été un si grand bonheur, vous apporte[z] tant à ceux qui vous approchent—et moi…Je vous aime tant, Cher Igor, autant que je vous admire. Allons, assez de déclarations—d’une si jeune et jolie femme…quel manque de retenue ! Dites à Vera toutes mes pensées.

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. Str. � Stravinsky à Boulanger Hollywood 46, California Le 5 fevrier 1955 Bien chere Nadia, Merci de vos lettres du 27 Janvier que je trouve en rentrant chez moi d’une tournee de concerts ici…je commence du reste des maintenant mes preparatifs pour notre expedition en Europe le mois prochain (depart d’ici le 4 Mars). A propos de projets avec Venise, je crois que Nabakov s’est un peu trop emballe dans son enthousiasme. 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. Le malheur est que precisement ce contrat traine et se fait indefiniment attendre. Je leur avais propose une courte « Passion Selon Saint Marc » et cela leur avait beaucoup plu. But pour moi aussi, comme les Unions disent ici : « No contract, no work »…. Nous esperons vous voir quelque part durant notre stage europeen. Love, I.

Roth in London) which causes me to advise him against keeping the anonymity of the source (because he writes to me: . . . “these ‘rhythms’ are taken from the repertoire without indication of the source”). It would be more prudent to guarantee an OK from B&H themselves. 2) Despite your hesitations, I hope all the same to see you in Rome or elsewhere in Europe. Love, I. Str. � Stravinsky à Boulanger 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46, California Dec. 13/[19]54 Chere, chere Nadia, Voici la reponse a votre lettre du 7 [dec]. 1) Dites a Felix Passerone qu’il ne s’agit pas de mon accord (je lui le donne avec plaisir) mais de celui de Boosey & Hawkes (Dr. E. Roth a Londres) ce qui m’amene a lui deconseiller de garder l’anonymat de la source (car il m’ecrit :… « ces « rithmes » sont tires du repertoire sans indication de la source »). Il serait plus prudent de se garantir un OK de B&H. 2) Malgre vos hesitations j’ai quand meme l’espoir de vous voir a Rome ou ailleurs en Europe. Love, I.
