Symphony No. 6 (Milhaud)

The Symphony No. 6, Op. 343, is a work for orchestra by French composer Darius Milhaud. The piece was written in 1955 at the request of Charles Munch, for the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.[1] This work is not to be confused with Milhaud's Chamber Symphony No. 6, op. 79 (1923).

Milhaud's Sixth Symphony has four movements and a total running time of about 30 minutes. The titles of the movements, as descriptive of their character as of tempo, are as follows:

  1. Calme et tendre (approx. 9')
  2. Tumultueux (approx. 6')
  3. Lent et doux (approx. 8'45")
  4. Joyeux et robuste (approx. 6'30")

This symphony is published by Heugel & Cie.

gollark: The laws of most countries are complicated enough now that nobody can actually know and understand all of them, or even the ones which directly affect them. Also, I'm responding kind of slowly because my internet service is bad right now and randomly dropping out every few minutes.
gollark: (then, not than)
gollark: It would probably be best to make a government which is actually competent, *somehow*, then have it do more things.
