Article · Español
Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc (París, 7 de enero de 1899 - París, 30 de enero de 1963) fue un compositor francés y miembro del grupo francés Les Six. Compuso música en todos los grandes géneros, entre ellos la música de cámara, el oratorio, la ópera, la música de ballet y la música orquestal. El crítico Claude Rostand, en julio de 1950, en un artículo del Paris-Presse, describe a Poulenc como «mitad un monje, mitad un granuja» ("Le moine et le voyou"), una etiqueta que se adjunta a su nombre para el resto de su carrera. Poulenc dice: "mi obra es la yuxtaposición de lo profano con lo sagrado".
