ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses a Denizen of Noizay and the honorary president of local musicmaking, Francis Poulenc is going to play to restore his village church. He is going to perform la voix humaine tomorrow evening in amboise with denise duval', la nouvelle republique, 7 september 1961. People here are so kind to him and the other day, they sang an aubade on the terrace to welcome him. The music of this municipality is close to my heart, since Poulenc its president and its leader, the excellent M. Andre Rocheron, is in fact my gardener. Rocheron is an artist and a friend so Poulenc had to do something for Noizay when it was a matter of restoring the church. Poulenc points out the work was composed not for Callas but for Denise Duval, for her alone, and La Voix humaine is dedicated to her.
