Kansas City, Mo. Thomson studied in Paris with Nadia Boulanger . Until about 1926 he wrote in a dissonant, neoclassic style, but after his 16-minute quintet Sonata da chiesa (1926) he began to employ a highly simplified style that shows the influence of Erik Satie . He wrote two operas

27. Virgil Thomson Biographical text accompanying the Alice Neel painting of the composer at the Smithsonian Institution s National Portrait Gallery. http://www.npg.si.edu/exh/brush/thom.htm

Virgil Thomson Composer, critic Composer Virgil Thomson began his musical training at age five, and by his twelfth year he was performing professionally on both piano and organ. In the mid-1920s he settled in Paris, where he began to compose original works. There he also became part of a cosmopolitan group of avant-garde musicians, writers, and painters then dominating the cultural life of the city. A close friend was the expatriate American writer Gertrude Stein, who wrote the librettos for his operas Four Saints in Three Acts and The Mother of Us All , the latter based on the life of suffragist Susan B. Anthony. By the late 1930s, Thomson was writing music for movies, and in 1948 his score for the film Louisiana Story won a Pulitzer Prize. Thomson was also a major spokesman for the new directions of twentieth-century music as critic for the New York Herald-Tribune from 1940 to 1954. Alice Neel painted many of her colleagues in the world of arts and letters, particularly those in New York City, her home for many years. As she painted, Neel sometimes exaggerated the effect that the body or expression of her sitter had on her own mind. After Thomson's sitting, she wrote, "When I painted the trousers I must confess I thought of elephants so that is the color they really are." Alice Neel (1900-1984) Oil on canvas, 1971

Virgil Thomson The Composer in conversation with Bruce Duffie Over the years, I've had the privilege and the pleasure of interviewing performers and creators of so-called Classical Music. Some have been well-known, others labor quietly without much general recognition. A very few are larger-than-life figures who dominate the scene. Virgil Thomson was one of those major icons. When setting up the conversation early in 1985, I'd told him up front that besides the usual concert music I wanted to inquire about his operas. He was happy to speak with me, and during the course of our 60 minute chat, he occasionally corrected my words, and even admonished me about some vague questions with imprecise language. In the end, though, he was pleased, and gave me a cheery "Right-oh!" Here is much of our encounter......... Bruce Duffie : In Baker's Biographical Dictionary , Nicholas Slonimsky mentions that you've ‘achieved a popular universality in music.' Virgil Thomson : I don't know what he means. ‘Popular universality' means that everybody loves you. He may be referring to the fact that my music, melodically and harmonically is what is often called ‘available.' That is to say, you can understand it if you try. I think that's what he means. BD : The public can understand it if its tries?
