Fun with Darius Milhaud!

Posted: Sunday | 03.07.10

Darius Milhaud!

On many occasions, we need music just to enjoy it for the fun of it! We need a break from all the serious aspects, funeral marches, tragedies, lost Loves, departed friends, dead heroes, and more…
That’s where Darius Milhaud comes in with Le Boeuf sur le Toit (Ox on the Roof). This is one of these enjoyable pieces, based on Brazilian dance influences, and nothing overly serious…

This CD, with music as conducted by Leonard Bernstein also has two other Milhaud compositions on the EMI label recording.

Click below to experience a version of “Ox” as choreographed for accompanying dancers…

All great fun!

Who's Hank

Hank Zauderer is a violinist and an artist. He regularly hosts an evening classical music program at NPR radio station KUSP in Santa Cruz, California. In the past he was a member of several symphony orchestras and chamber music groups. In particular, he loves the study of great composers and feels that music composition so often reflects the key events that took place in a composer's life.

Hank's taste includes the old Gregorian Chants and related religious works as well as music of the Baroque, Classical, and the Romantic period. Some of his favorites include Mahler, Edward Elgar, Leonard Bernstein, Igor Stravinsky, and Benjamin Britten.
