Pour Choeur Mixte A Cappella-In 1936 attempting to overcome his reputation for musical flippancy Poulenc began studying the motets of Montverdi with Nadia Boulanger. Around the same time his close friend and contemporary Pierre Octave Ferroud had died. Amidst this personal crisis Poulenc was led back to the Catholicism of his youth and this confluence of spiritual and musical interests led him to compose the Messe en Sol Majeur (Mass in G). Available here is the vocal score for SATB Choir a cappella.

Pour Choeur Mixte A Cappella. Par POULENC FRANCIS. In 1936 Poulenc began creating the more sombre, austere tones of religion after returning to his Catholic faith. The Salve Regina was one of two motets Poulenc composed in 1941, the other being the Exultate Deo. The setting is exclamatory and triumphant, alternating between strict imitation and assertive homophony. For SATB a cappella./ Répertoire / Choeur
