Nadia Boulanger
Composer
1887–1979. French composer in the French Modernism tradition.
Nadia Boulanger is far more celebrated as a pedagogue and conductor than as a composer; her compositional output is modest and overshadowed by her teaching legacy. Frequently appears in 'women composers' compilations alongside her sister Lili. Signature works listed are her best-known but remain relatively obscure.
Signature works: Trois pièces pour violoncelle et piano, Cantique, Vers la vie nouvelle.
