...Composer Jean Françaix for five strings, five winds and six-handed piano. Over the bubbly, breakneck music ex-pupils chanted their praise of Nadia. One, made up to look like President René Coty of France, paid the Fourth Republic's tribute; another, costumed like a priest, intoned, "St. Nadia, protect us," and two more singers, representing Sebastian (Bach) and Igor (Stravinsky), chanted: "Long live peaceful coexistence...
