Gertrude Stein's words and Virgil Thomson's music for Four Saints in Three Acts survive, while poor old Ashton's original 1934 choreography is gone with the wind.
By the end of his long life, Virgil Thomson (1898-1989) was far better known as a waspish, elegant music critic than as a composer, though his two operatic collaborations with Gertrude Stein, Four Saints in Three Acts and The Mother of Us All, were remembered at least by name if not by their music.
