Book excerpt: Darius Milhaud, born in Provence in 1892, was one of the major composers of the twentieth century and also one of its most prodigious. Over 450 of his works have been catalogued (and listed in this volume), including operas, large and small, eighteen string quartets, twelve symphonies and thirty concertos, as well as such popular classics as Le Boeuf sur le toit, La Creation du monde, Suite provencal and the Suite francaise. In My Happy Life, completed in 1972, two years before the composer's death, Milhaud tells the full story of his own personal life and artistic development. A secretary to the playwright Paul Claudel, a close friend of Satie, Cocteau and Igor Stravinsky, Darius Milhaud was also a member, along with Georges Auric and Arthur Honneger, of the scandalous group of young French composers known simply as 'les Six.'. While often regarded during his lifetime as an open-minded musician of wide tastes whose music spanned many styles from avant-garde to jazz, he is revealed here as a thinker of note and a graceful writer. He depicts with great generosity of feeling the revolution that modern music has undergone this century and his own role in it, giving a clear account of his attitude towards his work and that of his fellow composers.
Download or read book Tradition and Style in the Works of Darius Milhaud 1912 1939 written by BarbaraL. Kelly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described by Maurice Ravel as one of the most considerable talents in French music of his generation, Darius Milhaud remains a largely neglected composer. This book reappraises his contribution, focusing on the emergence of the composer's style until his Jewish background forced his exile to the United States on the eve of the World War II. The period 1912-1939 spans the crucial years that mark the development of Milhaud's mature style. It was also during this time that he published his most important writings on contemporary music and its relationship to the past. Barbara Kelly discusses the extent to which Milhaud's complex views on the idea of a French national musical heritage relate to his own practice, and considers how his works reflect the balance between innovation and tradition. Drawing comparisons with contemporaries, such as Debussy, Satie, Schoenberg, Stravinsky and Poulenc, the book argues that the rhythmic vitality of Milhaud's style and his modal approach within a polytonal context mark him out as an original and distinctive composer.

Download or read book Le Jazz written by Matthew F. Jordan and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Le Jazz, Matthew F. Jordan deftly blends textual analysis, critical theory, and cultural history in a wide-ranging and highly readable account of how jazz progressed from a foreign cultural innovation met with resistance by French traditionalists to a naturalized component of the country's identity. Jordan draws on sources including ephemeral critical writing in the press and twentieth-century French literature to trace the country's reception of jazz, from the Cakewalk dance craze and the music's significance as a harbinger of cultural recovery after World War II to its place within French ethnography and cultural hybridity. Countering the histories of jazz's celebratory reception in France, Jordan delves in to the reluctance of many French citizens to accept jazz with the same enthusiasm as the liberal humanists and cosmopolitan crowds of the 1930s. Jordan argues that some listeners and critics perceived jazz as a threat to traditional French culture, and only as France modernized its identity did jazz become compatible with notions of Frenchness. Le Jazz speaks to the power of enlivened debate about popular culture, art, and expression as the means for constructing a vibrant cultural identity, revealing crucial keys to understanding how the French have come to see themselves in the postwar world.
