Scaramouche, Op. 165, [lower-alpha 1] is a suite composed by Darius Milhaud in 1937. The suite is based on incidental music Milhaud wrote for two theatrical productions: Le Médecin volant and Bolivar.Scaramouche draws inspiration from various sources, with each of the suite's three movements being of a distinct character. Milhaud's characteristic use of polytonality can be heard throughout the piece.

Contents

Scaramouche was composed as a piano duo in 1937 at the request of Marguerite Long and was premiered at the Exposition internationale des arts et des techniques dans la vie moderne the same year. The suite was later arranged for various ensembles due to the piece's popularity, including arrangements for solo alto saxophone with orchestra and – at the request of the clarinettist Benny Goodman – solo clarinet with orchestra.

Background

The music in Scaramouche is taken from incidental music that Milhaud composed for two plays. The first and third movements are inspired by themes composed for Henri Pascar's production of an adaptation of Molière's Le Médecin volant (The Flying Doctor); [1] [2] [3] it is from here that Scaramouche gets its name, as Pascar's group of players was named the Théatre Scaramouche. [4] [5] [6] Movement two takes its theme from music Milhaud composed in 1936 for Jules Supervielle's opera, Bolivar. Although he did not use any of the 1936 themes for the final score, Milhaud later decided to repurpose the original overture for Scaramouche. [6] [7] [8]

Composition and publishing

In 1937, the French pianist Marguerite Long asked Milhaud to compose a piano duo for two of her students (Marcelle Meyer and Ida Jankelevitch) to play at the Exposition internationale des arts et des techniques dans la vie moderne. [9] [10] In response, Milhaud composed Scaramouche. [11] Although it largely used music that Milhaud had composed previously, composing the suite did not come easy to him. [12]

Scaramouche was published by Milhaud's friend, the printer Raymond Deiss  [ fr ], who requested to do so. Milhaud attempted to deter Deiss from publishing the suite, assuming that the music would not sell and prove a wasted investment—at the time printed sheet music was proving unpopular. Deiss refused to be dissuaded by Milhaud and proceeded to print the first edition. [13]

Milhaud wrote about Scaramouche's publishing in his autobiography, Ma vie heureuse (My Happy Life): [12]

At once publisher Deiss offered to publish it. I advised him against it, saying that no one would want to buy it. But he was an original character who only published works that he liked. He happened to like Scaramouche and insisted on having his way. In the event he was right, for while sales of printed music were everywhere encountering difficulties, several printings were made.

Milhaud recorded that Diess took a special delight in telling him, "The Americans are asking for 500 copies and 1000 are being asked for elsewhere". [12] After his immigration to America during World War II, Milhaud had Scaramouche republished in the United States. [14]

Structure and music

Scaramouche consists of three movements:

  1. Vif (C major, 4
    4    )
  2. Modéré (B♭ major, 4
    4    )
  3. Brazileira (F major, 2
    4    )

A full playing of the suite lasts approximately eight to nine minutes. [9] [15] [16] Polytonality, a distinctive element of Milhaud's composing style, is used consistently throughout the suite. [4] [15]

Vif

The first movement of Scaramouche has been likened to a cross between folk-song melodies and nursery rhymes: [17] one of the themes used is the melody from the children's song Ten Green Bottles. [18] Vif is written ternary (ABA) form. [19] [20]

Polytonality can be heard as early as the opening measures, where chromatically clashing triads are layered under the movement's opening theme, which is in C major. [21] The technique features again in measure 24, where a melody in the key of G major is played over an accompaniment in the original key of C major. [22]

Syncopation is another technique used in Vif. In a section beginning at measure nine, the bass line places emphasis on the first, fourth and seventh quaver beats of a bar. This rhythm is known as tresillo. A few measures later, Milhaud uses a three-against-four polymeter. This kind of syncopation was often used by Brazilian composers, including Heitor Villa-Lobos. [23]

Modéré

The second movement hints at the French overture style, used by Johann Sebastian Bach and other Baroque composers. [24] The movement has elements of canon and ostinato. [19] Modéré is also in ternary form: the A section is written in 4
4 and is contrasted metrically by a B section in 6
8. In the final section of the movement, Milhaud layers both the A and B themes on top of each other. [25]

In Modéré, Milhaud uses dotted rhythms and arpeggios to create a melody that takes cues from folk song. The saxophonist Jason Stone suggests that this movement was also inspired by Brazilian music, noting Modéré's similarities to the modinha and lundu . [26]

Brazileira

Brazileira's tempo is marked as "Mouvement de samba". [19] The movement is a samba choro [27] inspired by Milhaud's prior time in Brazil: he had spent two years in Rio de Janeiro serving as secretary to the French ambassador Paul Claudel during the First World War. [1] [5] [28] During this time, he listened to the music of Ernesto Nazareth, which served as an inspiration to the third movement. [29]

There is a diversity of opinions regarding Brazileira's structure: musicologist Hyejeong Seong asserts that it is written in ABCA form, [30] while Jason Stone refers to this movement as a "theme and variations in fast samba". [31] Other papers analyse the movement as ternary form. [32]

Brazileira uses syncopation in a similar way to Vif. Tresillo rhythms are again present in the movement's A section. In addition, Milhaud uses rhythmic anticipation of downbeats (using semiquavers) to evoke a samba feeling. Following the more songlike B and C sections, the syncopated tresillo rhythms return in the last section of the suite. [33]

Arrangements

Benny Goodman asked Milhaud to arrange Scaramouche for clarinet (Portrait of Benny Goodman, 400 Restaurant, New York, N.Y., ca. July 1946) (LOC) (4843744408).jpg

The original version of Scaramouche was written as a piano duo (Op.165b) in 1937. [34] Due to the suite's popularity, Milhaud later arranged it for various different ensembles. A particularly successful arrangement was made for alto saxophone and orchestra/piano (Op.165c) in 1937 [lower-alpha 2] [7] and was published in 1939 by Éditions Salabert. This arrangement was one of only two pieces that Milhaud wrote for saxophone and piano, the other being his 1954 composition Danse. [35]

On the request of the clarinettist Benny Goodman and his teacher Eric Simon, Milhaud arranged the piece for B♭ clarinet and orchestra/piano (Op.165d, published 1941 by Éditions Salabert). [22] [36] [37] In letters written between Milhaud and Goodman, Milhaud writes that the clarinet part was created by transposing the existing saxophone arrangement. He had refused Simon's suggestion of transposing orchestral parts, stating that it would be impossible to do without a complete rewrite of the piece. [38] Goodman was said to prefer the arrangement of Scaramouche over Milhaud's more difficult Concerto for Clarinet, which was written specifically for him. [35] [39] [40]

Other composers have arranged Scaramouche as well. Arrangements exist for wind band (Joseph Willcox Jenkins), [41] violin and piano (Jascha Heifetz), [41] [42] saxophone and wind quintet (Don Stewart), [43] guitar trio and a group of 12 saxophones. [9]

Performances

On 1 July 1937, Scaramouche was premiered at the Exposition internationale des arts et des techniques dans la vie moderne by French pianists Marcelle Meyer and Ida Jankelevitch. [8] [44] [45]

A. Muhle [lower-alpha 3] premiered the arrangement for saxophone and orchestra in June 1940 with the Radio Paris Orchestra. The performance was later aired on Radio Paris. [9] [13] [28] Op.165c was premiered in the United States in November 1940 by the Northern California WPA Symphony Orchestra. [46]

The arrangement for clarinet and orchestra was premiered in New York by Benny Goodman in 1941. [1] [10] [11]

During the Nazi censorship of works by Jewish individuals, Scaramouche (along with Milhaud's other works) was banned. [44] Undeterred by the censorship, Marcelle Meyer, alongside another pianist, organised a performance of Scaramouche on 1 June 1943 at the École Normale de Musique de Paris. [9] To evade the ban on Milhaud's works, the performers were forced to attempt to trick the censors. The pianists used anagrams to provide a pseudonym for both Milhaud and the suite; they changed Darius Milhaud to become Hamid-al-Usurid while Scaramouche was changed to be Mous Are-chac. [47] The performance managed to successfully take place, avoiding any censorship from the Nazi authorities. [44] [48] [49]

Saxophonist Jess Gillam played the piece on the last night of the 2018 BBC Proms with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir Andrew Davis. [50] [51] Her performance was the first time the piece had been played at the Proms [52] and was received well by audiences and critics. BBC reporter Mark Savage said it was "the indisputable highlight of the Last Night of the Proms", [53] while The Telegraphs' Ivan Hewett called it "a sassy but also subtly moulded performance of Milhaud’s delightful Scaramouche". [54]

Reception

Audiences of the time received Scaramouche very well, which surprised Milhaud. [44] The piece was a large success for Milhaud and continues to be one of his most popular works. [8] [28] Scaramouche has become a standard piece in both piano duo and classical saxophone repertoire; [24] [55] [56] according to musicologist Paul Collaer, the suite "has earned itself an incomparably popular place in twentieth-century two-piano literature". [57] In a 1970 interview, Milhaud stated that he considered Scaramouche to be one of his most successful pieces but said it was "a work that is not important". [58] He believed that the suite did not deserve to be so popular as to the point of overshadowing some of his other compositions. [4] The New York Times included Scaramouche on a 1974 list of "Milhaud's Major Works". [59]

The Symphony No. 1, Op. 210, by Darius Milhaud is a work for orchestra composed in France in 1939, during a period of illness and anxiety following the outbreak of World War II. Nearly fifty years old at the time and already a very prolific and mature composer, Milhaud had never attempted a symphony before. In spite of his expressed antipathy toward the "German music" typified by the symphony, he accepted a commission for this work from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, then approaching its 50th anniversary. Milhaud went on to write twelve more numbered symphonies by 1963.

Suite provençale, Op. 152, is a symphonic work written by Darius Milhaud in 1936. A version for orchestra alone, Op. 152c, was premiered by Milhaud himself in Venice on 12 September 1937; the ballet version, Op. 152d, premiered at the Opéra-Comique in Paris on 1 February 1938 under the direction of Roger Désormière.

Little (Chamber) Symphony No. 3, Op. 71 by Darius Milhaud is a work for chamber orchestra that was composed in 1921. The work is also known by the title Sérénade. This work is not to be confused with Milhaud's Symphony No. 3, which is known as Te Deum.

The Little (Chamber) SymphonyNo. 2, Op. 49, by Darius Milhaud is a three movement piece written for chamber orchestra, consisting of flute, English horn, bassoon, violin, viola, cello, and double bass. Milhaud composed this piece in 1918, one year after his first chamber symphony. It was fairly early in his composing career, while he was still employed as a secretary to the French ambassador to Brazil. Milhaud wrote this short symphony at sea, during a return voyage to France. Influences of Latin American rhythms and references to South America’s picturesque landscape are present throughout the piece.

Little (Chamber) Symphony No. 1 “Le Printemps” Op. 43, as the first of a collection of six “Little Symphonies”, by Darius Milhaud is a symphony by name only, due to its length of just over 3 minutes. This piece should not be confused with Milhaud's Symphony No. 1. The piece was composed in Rio de Janeiro in 1917. It premiered there in 1918, and was published by Universal in 1922. The influence of Brazilian culture, jazz, and polytonality is very clearly seen in this series of symphonies. According to Milhaud himself, he was quite attracted to the unusual quality of small groups of instruments, which is why he embarked on his series of Petites Symphonies. His stay in Brazil, acting as assistant to the diplomat/poet Paul Claudel, influenced this work.

Manfred Kelkel was a 20th-century French musicologist and composer of contemporary music. A pupil of Darius Milhaud at the Conservatoire de Paris, he got interested in the music of Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, whose latest works influenced his own compositions. His work on Scriabin and a certain esoteric aesthetic of music are authoritative.
