Pierre Boulez (26 March 1925 – 5 January 2016) was one of the foremost composers and conductors of his time.
Pierre Shape Tones
Oh clap your hands and make ye merry
For Pierre Boulez's centenary! –
A priest of the cerebral prism
Of serial high modernism;
Whose compositions were so fearsome
We seldom get a chance to hear some.
+++++++++++++++++++++
Méticuleux
Boulez, though his methods were serial,
Was able to treat his material
With a Gallic finesse
That by turns could express
His thoughts, whether brusque or ethereal.
