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.
