T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Thomson, Virgil (1896-1989) Critic and composer Virgil Thomson was a pioneer in creating a specifically American form of classical music that is at once "serious" yet whimsically sardonic. He is best known as Gertrude Stein's collaborator in two operas, Four Saints in Three Acts (1934) and The Mother of Us All The hymn melodies that shape the score of Four Saints are an echo of Thomson's earliest musical career, that of an organist in a Baptist church in Kansas City, Missouri, where he was born on November 25, 1896 into a tolerant, middle-class family. His mother especially encouraged his musical and artistic talents, which were obvious very early. Sponsor Message.

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Thomson, Virgil (b. Nov. 25, 1896, Kansas City, Mo., U.S.d. Sept. 30, 1989, New York, N.Y.), American composer, conductor, and music critic whose forward-looking ideas stimulated new lines of thought among contemporary musicians. Thomson studied at Harvard University and later with Nadia Boulanger, a noted teacher of musical composition, in Paris. There he came under the strong influence of early 20th-century French composers, especially the group known as Les Six , whose most prominent members were Darius Milhaud, Arthur Honegger, and Francis Poulenc. Thomson wrote in a variety of styles, including Gregorian chant, variations on Baptist hymns, Impressionism, and Neoclassicism, often combining traditional forms with contemporary techniques, marked by careful craftsmanship. The greatest influence on him was that of Erik Satie , and it found expression in clarity, simplicity, and humour. His operas are among his best-known works; Four Saints in Three Acts (1928) and The Mother of Us All (1947), based on the life of Susan B. Anthony, boast libretti by Thomson's close friend Gertrude Stein, an avant-garde American writer. A later opera was
