- Description
- Episode Description
- This second part of "The Creative Person" portrait of French composer Darius Milhaud was also filmed at the Milhaud Festival in honor of the composer's 70th birthday at Mills College. The program captures the amazing vitality of the man who has composed over 400 pieces and who said: "You write music just like you eat and you sleep - out of necessity; you write because you must." Also featured on the program is Milhaud's wife Madeleine, and jazzman Dave Brubeck, a former pupil of Milhaud. Another highlight is the world premiere of his "Suite de Quatrains" as performed at the Mills Festival. Milhaud, who divides his time between Mills College and Paris, explains his two geographically distinctive lives: "I love to be here at Mills because first of all I Have always liked the youth and am in contact with American youth one year and French ones the other year. But I like this country, I like the birds, I like the flowers, I love the climate, it's a marvelous life for me because it's not as strenuous as it is in Paris, it seems a bit like an old car who is just keeping the battery quiet here and spending it in Paris." Dave Brubeck, the jazz composer and pianist talks about Milhaud as a teacher. "I was living across the road from him," says Brubeck, "and he started composing very very early in the morning and by the time his first classes were due, he had probably written more than all of his students put together." "Darius Milhaud: Paris and California" was produced by National Educational Television in cooperation with San Francisco affiliate KQED-TV. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
