  Shuadit language - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The language is known from documents dating to as early as the 11th century in France, and after suffering drastic declines beginning with the charter of the Inquisition in France, finally became extinct with the death of its last known speaker, Armand Lunel, in 1977.
While there is evidence of Jewish communities in the region of Provence dating back to the aftermath of the Babylonian Exile, approximately 700 BC, the exact development and age of Shuadit is unclear.
The extinction of the language was noted with a whimper in 1977, upon the death of its last known native speaker, Armand Lunel.

 Armand Lunel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Armand Lunel (10 June 1892-1977) was a French writer and the last known speaker of Shuadit (Judeo-Provençal), a now-extinct Occitan language.

 Milhaud - Darius Milhaud composer
Among the traditional Christmas carols of the Comtats which Milhaud's friend and collaborator Armand Lunel collected were some whose verses alternate between the two faiths, each happily at odds with the other.
But the story was not without its dark side (as Lunel shows in the history of the Languedoc and Provençal Jews which he published two years before his death).
In the early years there was a third friend, slightly older than Milhaud and Lunel and already recognised as a highly promising poet and writer: Léo Latil, who was a Catholic by upbringing and conviction.

 Milhaud - Darius Milhaud composer
The usual companion piece for Orphée has been Milhaud's Le Pauvre matelot - a work with which it has no thematic connections, but one that has always enjoyed a certain popularity, thanks in some measure to the much admired libretto by Jean Cocteau.
The fact that Armand Lunel is the author of both the Esther and the Orphée is only an indication of a much deeper bond between the two works.
Their affinities and contrasts are such that a finely produced and performed double bill could prove revelatory.

It strained even a house accustomed to spettácolo productions.
David's size comes partly from French Librettist Armand Lunel's story, which includes practically every episode of the Biblical story, partly from Milhaud's use of a 96-voice chorus to chant modern Israeli reaction to the ancient action.
The work opens on a CinemaScope-like prospect of old Israel, where young David is chosen by Samuel to be future king while trumpets in the orchestra blare out a forecast of future greatness.
