Poulenc underwent a religious resurgence in 1936 following a visit to the shrine of Notre Dame de Rocmadour (the "vierge noir" or "black virgin") which was reinforced by the tragic death of his friend Octave Ferround at about the same time. His music, which had previously been predominantly frivolous and rather droll, became more serious and he composed a large body of sacred choral works, as well as the 1957 opera "Dialogues des Carmelites", which deals with the martyrdom of a comunity of Carmelite nuns during the Reign of Terror.
