September 4 - Darius Milhaud (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Darius Milhaud ( 4 September 1892 – 22 June 1974) was a French composer, conductor, and teacher.

Milhaud à Go-Go 


“Darius Milhaud was very prolific and composed for a wide range of genres. His opus list ended at 443.”  -- Wikipedia


The thing to know about Milhaud

Is that his music seemed to flow

With such abandon from his pen

That, though he rested now and then,

His opus list reached twenty score

When it was all accounted for.


But critics (who know best) assess

He should have written rather less.
