List of compositions by Francis Poulenc
Introduction Poulenc and the harpsichordist  in 1930This is a list of works written by the French composer Francis Poulenc (1899–1963).As a pianist, Poulenc composed many pieces for his own instrument in his piano music and chamber music. He wrote works for orchestra including several concertos, also three operas, two ballets, incidental music for plays and film music. He composed songs (''mélodies''), often on texts by contemporary authors. His religious music includes the Mass in G major, the Stabat Mater and Gloria.
Overview ''Le Groupe des six'', 1921 painting of members of the group ''Les Six'' by Jacques-Émile Blanche. The pianist Marcelle Meyer is surrounded by (left) Tailleferre, Milhaud and Honegger, (right) Poulenc, Jean Cocteau, Auric and Jean Wiener, while Durey is missing.The composer had written a catalogue of his works in 1921, which is reproduced in Schmidt's book. According to this list, the first noted piece was in 1914 ''Processional pour la crémation d'un mandarin'' for piano, now lost or destroyed. Poulenc completed his last work, his Oboe Sonata, in 1962. '''Piano, chamber music and songs'''As a professional pianist, Poulenc wrote many pieces for his own instrument. He was a prolific writer of works of chamber music, often with piano, and some works for two pianos. Poulenc composed many songs (''mélodies''), most of them accompanied by piano, but some also in versions with a small instrumental ensembles, for example his ''Rapsodie nègre'' for baritone, flute, clarinet, string quartet and piano. He composed easily for woodwind instruments, scoring for example a piano trio with oboe and bassoon instead of the traditional violin and cello. Poulenc was less familiar with string instruments. The cellist Pierre Fournier helped him to write the Cello Sonata, which he premiered with the composer as the pianist. Poulenc destroyed all sketches for string quartets and three for violin sonatas, while only the fourth one survived, but was received critically. '''Orchestra and stage'''Among his works with orchestra are three operas, two ballet, incidental music for plays, film music and concertos, some with unusual solo instruments such as harpsichord and organ. The harpsichordist Wanda Landowska inspired the composition of the Concert champêtre. '''Collaboration in the group ''Les Six'''''Poulenc was a member of the group of composers ''Les Six'', with Georges Auric, Louis Durey, Arthur Honegger, Darius Milhaud and Germaine Tailleferre, and contributed to their collective productions, which included another ballet. '''Sacred music and choral music'''Poulenc turned to writing also religious music in the 1930s, composing a Mass in G major for a cappella choir. He composed the Stabat Mater in 1950 in memory of the painter Christian Bérard in 1950.The late Gloria for soprano, choir and orchestra became one of his best-known works. He drew inspiration for his sacred compositions mostly from liturgical texts.''' Songs '''For his songs and song cycles, he often collaborated with contemporary poets, setting poems by writers such as Guillaume Apollinaire, Louis Aragon, Paul Éluard, Max Jacob, Federico García Lorca, and Louise de Vilmorin, whom he mentioned in titles. He further set poems by Théodore de Banville, Maurice Carême, Colette, Robert Desnos, Maurice Fombeure, Marie Laurencin, Madeleine Ley, François de Malherbe, Ronsard, Jean Moréas, Jean Nohain and Paul Valéry, among others. In 1943, during the occupation of France, a cantata ''Figure humaine'' on poems by Éluard which celebrate ''Liberté''.
List of works by FP number '''''The Music of Francis Poulenc (1899–1963): A Catalogue''''', abbreviated '''FP''', is a chronological catalogue of Francis Poulenc's works which was published by Carl B. Schmidt in 1995.Schmidt provides for each known composition, which includes unfinished, unpublished and lost works, a detailed history of composition and performance, and lists manuscripts and publications.In the table, the works are initially listed by the FP number. Other information given is the French title, a translation if commonly used, the key, the scoring if not clear from the title, the year(s) of composition, the genre, text information, notes and a free score when available, and the page number in the catalogue. Abbreviations used are "rev." for "revised", "orch." for "orchestration", arr. for "arrangement" and "sc." for "score".In ''Genre'', instrumental pieces are distinguished as ''orchestral'' and ''chamber'' music, particularly that for piano. The group of stage works contains operas, ballets and incidental music, while film scores are marked separately. Sacred and secular music for voice is divided in ''choral'', for cantatas and motets, and ''vocal'', holding songs and song cycles.FPYearTitleGenreScoringTextNotes11914''Processional pour la crémation d'un mandarin''pianodestroyed or lost p. 1121916''Préludes''pianodestroyed31917 (rev. 1933)''Rapsodie nègre''vocalMakoko Kangourou (Marcel Prouille and Charles Moulié) sc.41917Scherzo for two pianos ''Zèbre''pianodestroyed or lost (fragment)51918''Trois Pastorales''piano61918''Poème sénégalais''vocaldestroyed or lost71919Sonata for two clarinetschamberdedicated to Édouard Souberbielle ·  sc.7b1925Sonatapianopiano version of FP 781918 (rev. 1939)Sonata for piano 4 handspianodedicated to Simone Tilliard ·  sc.91918''Prélude-Percussion''solopercussiondestroyed or lost101918''Le Jongleur''pianodestroyed or lost111918 (rev. 1932)''Toréador'' chanson hispano-italiennevocalJean Cocteau sc.121918Violin Sonatachamberdestroyed or lost131918Sonata for piano triochamberdestroyed or lost14a1918 (rev. 1939, 1962)''Trois mouvements perpétuels''piano sc. · p. 3214b1925 (rev. 1939, 1962)''Trois mouvements perpétuels''chamberarr. of FP 14a15a1919''Le Bestiaire (ou Cortège d’Orphée)'' vocalGuillaume Apollinaire sc.15b1922''Le Bestiaire (ou Cortège d’Orphée)''vocalarr. of FP 15a16a1919''Cocardes'' vocalCocteaudedicated to Auric ·  sc.16b1939''Cocardes''vocalarr. of FP 16a17a1919Valse in Cpianopart of ''L'Album des Six'' ·  sc.17b1932Valse in Corchestralorch. of FP 17a181919Quadrille for piano 4 handspianolost or destroyed191920 (rev. 1926)Piano Suitepiano sc.20a1920–21''Le Gendarme incompris''stage (opera)Cocteau and Raymond Radiguetlyric comedy in one act20b1921''Le Gendarme incompris'' (suite)chamber sc.211920–215 Impromptuspiano sc.221921''Quatre poèmes de Max Jacob'' vocalMax Jacobdedicated to Darius Milhaud/11921''La baigneuse de Trouville (Carte Postale en couleurs)''stage (ballet)orchestrapart of the collaborative ''Les mariés de la tour Eiffel'', ballet by Cocteau23/21921''Discours du Général'' (Polka)stage (ballet)orchestrapart of the collaborative ''Les mariés de la tour Eiffel'', ballet by Cocteau241921 (rev. 1952)Promenadespiano sc.251921''Esquisse pour une fanfare''orchestral sc., overture for Act V of Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet2619213 Etudes for pianolapianolost or destroyed271921''Première suite d'orchestre''orchestrallost or destroyed281921String Quartet no. 1chamberlost or destroyed291921Trio for piano, clarinet and cellochamberlost or destroyed301921Military marches for piano and orchestraorchestrallost or destroyed (fragments)311922''Chanson à boire''choralmen's choiranonymous texts of the 17th century, English by J.
