Millau

Japanese: ミヨー
Millau
French composer. Born in Aix-en-Provence, both parents were Jewish. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire, where he met his lifelong friends Honegger and Ibert. During World War I, he stayed in Brazil as Claudel's secretary. He returned to Brazil in 1919 and participated in the activities of the Six. He produced a succession of early masterpieces, including the ballet music Les buons on the roof (1919, libretto by Cocteau, set by Dufy), Les creatés du monde (1923, libretto by Cendrars, costumes and set by Léger), and the orchestral work Memories of Brazil (1923). During World War II, he fled to the United States and taught at Mills College in California. He was professor of composition at his alma mater from 1947 to 1962. As a 20th century composer, he is known as a prolific composer on a par with his friend Villa-Lobos (he wrote 19 symphonies, including six chamber symphonies), and often used polytonal (polyrhythms) and complex contrapuntal writing, but he never became unnecessarily difficult to understand and always maintained a sense of tonality, continuing to write music full of vitality. Other well-known works include the opera Christophe Collombus (1928) based on a libretto by Claudel, the orchestral piece Suite de Provence (1936), Scaramouche for two pianos (1937), and King René's Fireplace for five wind instruments (1939). → Nijinska → Related topics Auric | Xenakis | Kurtág | Chabrier | Tansman | Bidor | Sadao Betsumiya | Reich | Ron
