Darius MilhaudUn compositeur français humanisteSa traversée du xxe siècleDarius Milhaud fut un des compositeurs les plus reconnus du XXe siècle - universellement apprécié, il eut la satisfaction de voir ses oeuvres interprétées dans les salles de concert et sur les scènes lyriques du monde entier. Grand ensemblier du Groupe des Six, il a gardé jusqu'à leur disparition l'amitié admirative de Poulenc et d'Honegger. Pourtant, sa musique n'est pas parvenue de nos jours à un très large public, peut-être à cause du caractère révolutionnaire de son langage musical.Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de familiariser le lecteur avec un compositeur dont l'inspiration, d'une étonnante diversité, s'étend des folklores du monde à la mythologie gréco-latine en passant par les foires et les jazz parties des Années folles à Montparnasse. L'unité de son oeuvre est assurée par deux éléments puissants : un humanisme sincère et profond, une invention mélodique inépuisable. Qui peut oublier, après les avoir entendus, la samba de Scaramouche, le refrain du Boeuf sur le toit et les choeurs de Pacem in terris ? Darius Milhaud laisse à ceux qui l'ont rencontré le souvenir d'un homme d'une grande générosité, sensible au destin de l'humanité, qualités que son oeuvre révèle. Qu'il soit de naissance ou de circonstance, l'ancrage des auteurs à Aix-en-Provence depuis des décennies et leurs engagements respectifs dans la vie culturelle provençale, riche et intense, expliquent leur attachement à la personnalité de Darius Milhaud et leur admiration pour l'oeuvre et la personne du compositeur. Micheline Ricavy, agrégée d'Education musicale, docteur en musicologie, est professeur honoraire de l'IUFM d'Aix-Marseille. Après s'être impliquée dans l'enseignement de la musique et dans la formation des professeurs, elle consacre désormais ses activités à des concours régionaux pour jeunes pianistes et à des conférences et concerts de musique classique pour le grand public. Robert Milhaud, parallèlement à un parcours professionnel dédié à l'éducation (il fut instituteur, Inspecteur de l'Education nationale puis directeur de l'Ecole Normale d'instituteurs des Bouches-du-Rhône), poursuit sa quête de la connaissance de la minorité humaine à laquelle il appartient, descendante des Juifs du Comtat Venaissin dont certains d'entre eux jouèrent un rôle important dans l'évolution de notre culture. / Livre

Compositeur français prolifique et éclectique, Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) nous a laissé une musique marquée notamment par la polytonalité où se croisent les influences de sa Provence natale, du jazz, du folklore sud-américain et de ses origines juives. Son langage musical complexe se retrouve également dans ces Quatre Visages pour alto (1943), où le compositeur utilise, entre autres aspects, des rythmes complexes, des ornements, des modifications des tempos et des clés, des doubles cordes et une large tessiture. 1.
