Parallele Ensemble, Music of Darius Milhaud

KL5131

Darius Milhaud is a composer whose music reflects his heritage of Provence in the south of France. Full of bright, beautiful melodies, he captures the Mediterranean spirit in music.

"Saudades do Brazil" was specifically composed to invoke wonderful reminiscences of Brazil. This work is a collection of twelve tangos, each titles after a specific site of Rio de Janeiro.

"Cantate de la Guerre" is a world premiere recording written in 1940 during the German occupation of France in World War II.

"Aspen Serenade" was written as a tribute to Aspen, Colorado.

Elinor Armer: "Api" is a new work. Ms. Armer studied with Milhaud at Mill College. This is a work which relates through music the life of a honey bee - interesting in that it clearly reflects the influence of Milhaud's teaching.
