Par BOUSCANT / DESCHENEAUX. L'oeuvre monumentale de Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) retrace la trajectoire d'un compositeur de son temps, conscient des enjeux esthétiques de la modernité musicale française. Figure de proue de la polytonalité, membre du Groupe des Six, Milhaud n'a cessé tout au long de sa carriêre d'expérimenter des avenues compositionnelles novatrices. Sa nature profondément inventive, conjuguée à  une constante ouverture d'esprit aux arts et aux lettres, l'aMène à  se tailler une place de choix parmi ses contemporains de la scêne musicale internationale. Les onze études rassemblées ici permettent de découvrir de nouveaux aspects de la production et de la personnalité créatrice du compositeur français. Divisé en trois parties, l'ouvrage s'ouvre sur la figure de l'«expérimentateur» chez Milhaud, saisissable depuis ses premiers essais polytonaux, jusqu'aux compositions aléatoires de maturité en passant par des partitions montrant de véritables innovations dans le domaine vocal. La deuxiême partie gravite autour de la question des rapports particuliers que Milhaud entretient avec ses contemporains, en l'occurrence Maurice Ravel et Charles Koechlin, ainsi qu'avec le couple brésilien Nininha et Oswaldo Guerra. La derniêre partie se consacre au contexte sociopolitique français des années 1930 où Milhaud est confronté à  de nouveaux défis esthétiques à  travers ses collaborations pour le Front populaire, le thétre et le film. En plus de présenter de nombreux documents d'archives inédits (lettres, correspondances, programmes de concert et documents iconographiques), ce collectif jette un regard critique sur des oeuvres généralement ignorées, et tout particuliêrement celles écrites pour la voix, la scêne, le ballet et le cinéma. / Broché / Livre / Livres
