"In the
forty years that have passed
since I first met Nadia Boulanger in Fontainebleau in the summer of 1960, I have continued to
be astonished at her penetrating and far reaching influence on music today. Our styles in
pedagogy, our techniques in composition and the computer as a notation master have all changed
and modified the way we connect composition with performance. Nadia Boulanger and her
remarkable lifetime of 93 years still can direct students of future generations to the
remarkable pedagogy necessary for skill development and brilliance in this century..."
