Darius Milhaud

[JamesAHarrod]

One of my pet projects when I was working at UCI was a www presentation on Darius Milhaud. Elizabeth and Elliott Hurwitt had published an appraisal of Milhaud's works on CD in two editions of the Schwann catalogue. I contacted the Hurwitts and gained their endorsement to present their work on the web. Earlier this year I contacted Steve Albin who handles all of my internet things to request that he transfer the Milhaud presentation to a new domain name. It had been captured by the Wayback Machine and Steve did a wonderful job of bringing it to a new life. Many of things that I had planned back in the 1990s are now being realized on the site. If you are a Milhaud fan please check it out.

I’ll have to check it out. Funny enough, I really really love his very first string quartet (one of, like, isn’t it 15?). Don’t know how important it is, but it’s a real gem.

Milhaud is one of my favourite composers! Thanks for that!

For a few weeks this past Spring, I was listening repeatedly to The Household Muse, the original piano version.  It was the only music that made sense to me during that stretch.

Yes indeed!  Ralph Swickard gave me a copy of his Milhaud in Midi where he transcribed all 15 pieces. I plan to listen again this morning. Thanks for the reminder.
