	The Musical Times: Darius Milhaud 1892-1974
		Milhaud, who had for some years been an invalid confined by rheumatic afflictions to a wheelchair, nursed by his devoted wife, returned to France in 1947, and was offered the post of professor of composition at the Paris Conservatoire.
		Milhaud, who in the 20s had written six ‘little’ symphonies for small combinations, waited until he was nearly 50 before embarking in 1939 on a series of 12 symphonies for full orchestra (the Third has a choral finale).
		Milhaud had an air of inner serenity and benign authority which impressed those who had even the slightest acquaintance with him, and won him the affection and respect of musicians of all tendencies and ages.

	The Viola Music of Darius Milhaud by Kenneth Martinson, Music Department, Western Illinois University, Macomb, Illinois (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Milhaud: Milhaud was not against the fact of using a folk tune, or old tunes, as long as one kept one's freedom and one's personality.
		Milhaud wrote the concerto, which is more difficult than the first, but because Primrose was a very good player, in fact it's certain that for Darius, it had an influence if the person was a good player, why not ask him to do the difficult things that Darius wrote.
		Milhaud wrote extremely fast, but it was usually after he meditated and thought about the work for weeks, and sometimes years, but he was lucky enough when it was ripe, to be able to write it the right way the first time.

	The Milken Archive of American Jewish Music
		Darius Milhaud (1892–1974), one of the 20th century's most prolific composers, belongs historically to the coterie of French musical intellectuals and composers who, loosely bonded by their initial embrace of Jean Cocteau's aesthetic ideas and their allegiance to composer Eric Satie's spiritual-musical tutelage, were known as Les Six.
		Milhaud's paternal great-grandfather, Joseph Milhaud, was one of the founders of the synagogue at Aix, where he gave the inaugural address in 1840.
		For Milhaud, in particular, Satie's love of the music hall, the circus, and other unelevated forms of entertainment was in tune with his own adoption of popular material—French folksong, Latin American dance rhythms, Jewish secular and sacred melodies, and one of the most important discoveries of his circle: jazz.

	1/27/00: La Monde de Darius Milhaud
		Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) was one of those composers who wrote music faster than it could be listened to - his catalogue of works ends at Opus 443.
		One of Milhaud's operas, "Christophe Colomb," requires the use of a cinema screen which is included to allow the audience to experience actions and events (like the flight of a dove) that could not be staged.
		Milhaud's works are a celebration of human sensitivity to and appreciation of the world around him - it's people, atmosphere, landscapes and architecture.

	Milken Archive - Darius Milhaud: Service Sacré \| ArkivMusic
		Along with Ernest Bloch's Sacred Service, Milhaud's Service Sacré is one of the relatively rare major works of Jewish liturgy that are as amenable to the concert hall as to the synagogue.
		Milhaud tailored the vocal solo and choral settings to the Ashkenazi pronunciation of Hebrew then prevalent in American synagogues, but he preferred the pronunciation familiar to him from his native Provence, which was closer to the Sephardi.
		Written in the shadow of the Holocaust, which claimed more than 20 of his cousins, Milhaud's Service Sacré is a personal affirmation of faith and a universal expression of serenity, joy, and longing for peace.
