born Jan. 7, 1899, Paris, Fr.
died Jan. 30, 1963, Paris
French composer.
In his teens he studied piano with Ricardo Viñes (1875–1943). Influenced by Erik Satie, Poulenc and five other like-minded young composers became known as Les
Six. Poulenc wrote piano compositions, orchestral music, and chamber music, but he is best known for his vocal music, including many admired songs, the operas
The Breasts of Tiresias (1944),
Dialogues of the Carmelites (1956), and
La voix humaine (1958), and such sacred choral works as
Mass in G Major (1937), the
Stabat Mater (1950), and the
Gloria (1959), reflecting his devout Catholicism.
