CATALOGUE OF COMPOSITIONS COMPILED BY MADELEINE MILHAUD FROM THE COMPOSER'S NOTEBOOKS AND REVISED BY JANE HOHFELD GALANTE The translator owes a debt of gratitude to Mme. Milhaud for the many hours of assistance, helpful counsel, and gracious hospitality she contributed to the revision of this catalogue. Very special appreciation is also due toR. Wood Massi for his extensive work in verifying and re-ordering data pertaining to the music, to Jean-Franfois Denis for his excellently detailed preparation of the final copy, and to Dr. Katharine M. Warne for her constructive perusal of the proofs and her many invaluable suggestions. I should like to thank the Mills College Department ofMusic for providing research funds and the Mills College Library for giving me unlimited access to the Milhaud collection. I am especially grateful to Eva Konrad Kreshka for her unstinting encouragement and enthusiasm. The careful reader will note some discrepancies between this catalogue, which is based on Milhaud's notebooks, and the printed scores, mostly in regard to exact dates, places ofcomposition, and timing. In the majority of instances, the notebook entry is the one used except where information given on the score adds something ofspecial interest. !.H. G. CATALOGUE OF COMPOSITIONS ARRANGED CHRONOLOGICALLY BY CATEGORIES Entry format ____________________ Title opus number (Recording available) (general comments) [Text author] Section titles Cross references Place, date (day, month, year) of composition Orchestration Publisher: (former publisher) present publisher Dedication and/or commission First performance: Date (day, month, year). Place. Artist Duration: min s 231 Explanation of terms ___________________ The designation (R) means that the work has been recorded. In orchestral works the instrumentation is divided into three groups, two of which are designated numerically. Thus: 2.2.2.2. -4.3.3.1.-T.P.H.S. means 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, 1 tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, strings. No distinction is made for piccolo, contrabassoon, etc.; therefore, 3.3.3.3. would probably mean: 1 piccolo and 2 flutes, 2 oboes and 1 English hom, 2 B-flat clarinets and 1 bass clarinet, 2 bassoons and 1 contrabassoon. Any other instruments, such as saxophone and guitar, are separately indicated. In smaller instrumental ensembles the individual instruments are indicated in abbreviated spelling, as follows: piccolo pice marimba mba flute fl xylophone xyl oboe ob glockenspiel glock English hom enghn vibraphone vib Fliigelhom flghn celesta eel clarinet cl drum drum bass clarinet bscl handclap handclap bassoon bn piano piano contrabassoon contrabn harpsichord hprd hom hn organ organ trumpet tpt andes Martenot ondMart trombone tbn guitar gtr tuba tu string bass stb euphonium euph saxophone sax accordion ace saxhorn saxhn harmonica harm comet cnt harmonium hrm timpani timp T. narrator narr percussion perc P. voice voice harp harp H. soprano sop strings strings s. mezzo soprano mezz contralto con violin vln tenor ten viola va countertenor counterten violoncello vc baritone bar contrabass cb bass bass 232 Contents Instrumental Music Pbmo ______________________________________________________ solo 236 solo pieces included in collections 240 easy pieces 241 two pianos 242 four pianos 243 Other solo instruments---------------------­ harp 243 guitar 244 organ 244 violin 244 Duos _____________________________ violin & harpsichord 245 violin & piano 245 viola & piano 247 violoncello & piano 247 flute & piano 248 pipeau & piano 248 oboe & piano 248 clarinet & piano 248 saxophone & piano 249 ondes Martenot & piano 249 two violins 249 violin & viola 250 violin & violoncello 250 viola & violoncello 250 Trios ______________________________ piano & two violins 251 piano, violin, & violoncello 251 piano, violin, & clarinet 251 violin, viola, & violoncello 252 oboe, clarinet, & bassoon 252 two trumpets, & trombone 252 Qu~ts------------------------------------------- string 253 piano & other instruments 257 Quinrets _______________________________________________ string (with or without piano) 257 wind 258 miscellaneous 259 233 Larger String Ensembles---------------------,-- 259 Chamber Ensembles---------------------- chamber symphonies 260 miscellaneous ensembles 261 StrmgOrehestra ____________________________________________ 265 Large Orchestra _______________________________ symphonies 265 symphonic suites 268 miscellaneous 271 Band ____________________________________________________ 275 Solo & orchestra (or chamber ensemble) ------------------- harpsichord 276 piano 277 two pianos 279 violin 280 viola 281 violoncello 282 oboe 283 clarinet 283 saxophone 284 trombone 284 percussion 284 harp 284 marimba & vibraphone 285 harmonica 285 Several instruments & orchestra---------------------------- 285 Vocal Music Solo voice unaccompanied 286 with piano 286 pieces for children 295 with organ (or piano) 295 with chamber ensemble 295 with orchestra 297 Spoken voice with chamber ensemble 299 Two voices with strings 300 with orchestra 300 234 A cappeUa ensemble----------------------- women's quartet (or chorus) 301 mixed quartet (or chorus) 302 men's chorus 303 mixed chorus 303 Accompanied vocal ensemble-------------------- vocal quartet & chamber ensemble 306 five voices & orchestra 307 three-part women's chorus & chamber ensemble 308 women's chorus & orchestra 308 mixed chorus & orchestra (or chamber ensemble) 308 soloist, mixed chorus, & organ 311 soloists, mixed chorus, & orchestra 312 children's chorus & organ 314 easy pieces (with piano or a small ensemble of violins and violoncellos) 314 Dramatic Works ''Operas-minute" 315 Operas 316 Recitatives 320 Ballets 320 Incidental music 325 Music for films 332 Music for radio 336 Music for television 337 Unpublished Works 338 Reductions, Arrangements, & Transcriptions Reductions-------------------------­ for piano (two hands) 346 for piano (four hands) 346 for two pianos 347 for three pianos 348 for solo instruments & piano 348 Arrangements by Darius Milhaud ------------------ 349 Transcriptions ofMilhaud's works by other composers ----------- 235 350 INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Piano C=:J ~ano:~lo ___________________________________________________ Suiteop. 8 Lent-Vif et clair-Lourd et rythme- Lent et grave-Modere-anime Aix-Paris, 1913 Publisher: Durand Dedication and/or commission: Jean Wiener (Lent), Henri Cliquet (Vif et clair), Roger de Fontenay (Lourd et rythme), Celine Lagouarde (Lent et grave), Georgette Guller (Modere-anime) First performance: 23 March 1914.
