- Or "The Ox on the Roof: The Nothing-Doing Bar," 1920 ballet to a scenario by Jean Cocteau. Score of the piano duet transcription by the composer.
Ulster Orchestra
Yan-Pascal Tortelier
Milhaud's score is strongly influenced by Brazilian popular music--in fact, it quotes nearly 30 Brazilian melodies and is infused with Latin rhythms and noisy, choros-like orchestrations throughout. Milhaud had spent two years in Brazil as a cultural attaché.
The piece cycles through tonalities rooted in all twelve pitches, in an ascending pattern according to the three possible diminished seventh chords:
C - Eb - F#/Gb - A
Db - E/Fb - G - Bb
D - F - G#/Ab - B
before returning at last to the original tonic of C. - เพลง

Dr George Burt, my teacher way back in the day, studied with Milhaud when he was a student. He said everyday after class Milhuad's wife picked him up promptly and drove away. After a year of this pattern Burt asked him what he and his wife were always in such a hurry about. Milhaud smiled: "We go see movies!"

Great comment! I wish I'd seen it before playing the video. I kept stopping it trying to figure out what key it had gone to. The modulations are done so artfully that you might not notice them.
Still, it happily ends back in the home key of good-old C-major.
Плохо понимаю английский, не знаю французский. Но присоединяюсь к хорошим комментариям. Музыка доступна всем, как и хореография. И музыка к балету "Бык на крыше" мне определенно нравится.
U are god lol
this is hilarious
What a fun piece of music. Many years ago, this was my first exposure to Milhaud. What a musically life-changing discovery. Thanks for posting this.
KPO6859 was my exposure too
This piece is so charming. :D
The score shows that the polytonality is nothing else than an extended tonality used in a specific way.
This is one of those pieces I could listen to at four in the morning full blast with a lovely glass of red wine in my hand, reclined on my chair, head back feet up and eyes closed appreciating how fortunate I am to listen to such music, annoying my upstairs neighbours (who I'm sure would understand). Just wonderful. 16.20 of magical music. This really is special.

It's very cool to see how Brazilian music influenced Milhaud

muiito obrigado!! grande serviço necessário
Obrigadíssimo.
What a great job you've done in here!
impressive orchestration! unbelievable!
Amazing piece, and I love the tempo.
This really is lovely.
it came on the radio last night and I haven't stopped listening. by a French composer who spent a lot of time in Brazil and it shows the influence (not that I know anything about Brazilian music, that's what I read). pretty fun piece of music that's all over the place. most curious is how, since listening to it the first time, The Muppet Show theme song has been stuck in my head.
havanaise saint saens have a listen

I wonder why Milhaud never used key signatures.........
I header this on my Delmarva Classic radio station this morning at 89.5, and I was thrilled with this piece. What a joy to listen to. A lovely interweaving of great melodies with dissonant interludes. Just amazing.
Fantastique !
La estancia de Milhaud en Brasil, como secretario del embajador de Francia, impregnó del folclore y ritmos del país sudamericano. Esta obra basada en un cuento donde se relata a un buey que le encantaba bailar sobre el tejado. Aquí este autor hace gala de la politonalidad. Aunque no formo parte del grupo de los seis, siempre se considero amigo y participe de sus ideas.
Si formo parte del grupo, de hecho participó en la colaboración que hicieron todos los miembros, la cual por cierto, fue la única vez.
If you want to know the Brazilian tunes that were quoted in this piece, see --

nice thank you
@@polybotesepolybotese2201 -- You're welcome. :)
It is not about "inspiration in brazilian folklore music". Milhaud simply made a orchestration of famous brazilian popular pieces of the beginning of the XX century, but without give the credit of the authors. Who knows Ernesto Nazareth, Chiquinha Gonzaga, great brazilian composers of Choro, or Alberto Nepomuceno, a renowned erudit composer of Ceará can easily identify some tunes of that collage.
Alex Ilha But there are like 30 tunes quoted in this work, so many names would appear in the score if we had to acknowledge all of them. And perhaps some of the material in Milhaud's work was his own.
And I wonder where the main rondo theme comes from, was it taken from one of those brazilian songs or was it actually composed by Milhaud himself ?
No, sorry. Only the rondo theme may had been work of Milhaud, perhaps. And Milhaud told his audience that his work was "inspired in brazilian folklore and old songs" and this statement was not plainly true. Indeed, totally false. The tunes were great hits in Brazilian radio when Milhaud did his musical collage.
+Alex Ilha It is not so much the tunes as what Milhaud does with them that makes the music so good.
+Alex Ilha Yes, I can at least identify something by Ernesto Nazareth around 7:07. Anyway, it is lovely, it is… Brazilian, in the best sense of the word.
What composer didn't steal from popular and folk music? Bizet did not write the Habañera from Carmen; it was originally a popular song, El Areglito, by Sebastian Yradier. A few years ago there was an article about the original folk songs Stravinsky used in Sacre du Printemps. The opening theme of the Eroica Symphony had previously been used by Mozart in his opera Bastien und Bastienne and it was an old tune then. Then, there are Brahms' Hungarian Dances, not by Brahms, and all the popular tunes J. S. Bach used.
Mon seul vrai amour en musique, celle qui déchaîne mes passions toujours contenues, elle me donne tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour vivre, pour comprendre qui je suis. Cette musique m'a compris plutôt que je ne la comprends. Elle énonce exactement ce que j'aurais voulu composer. Ce que je me serais amusé si je l'avais écrite !
Est-il possible que j'en sois à penser comme Jean Cocteau à dire sans sourciller que Milhaud c'est mieux que Wagner ? Wagner ne m'emporte nullement, je joue Beethoven et Bach au piano, j'ai longtemps aimé Chopin, mais tous ces Français me parlent d'une vérité qui me constitue.
vous aimer art tatum?
De gustibus, mon ami. Il y aura sûrement beaucoup de gens comme vous qui préfèrent écouter Milhaud plutôt que Wagner. Dans mon cas c'est absolument le contraire, mais je ne fais pas de problème du tout: j'aime la diversité. Vive la musique! 🎼😉
yes, a tad too fast. I am learning this for 2 pianos, 4 hands, and love that the textures are easily separated and heard in the orchestral version.
Beautiful composition!

Мийо. Балет "Бык на крыше"
Форма рондо.
0:00 главная тема (рефрен)
0:19 тема, которая еще будет на 14:52
2:57 тема, которая еще будет на 7:26, 13:25
4:17 просто яркая тема
7:55 тема в более медленном темпе
12:02. Еще одна довольно медленная тема
14:52 кода
Oh, viewing the score I expected the 4 hands version :(
nioce music
Darius Milhaud rêvait d'une "république" méditerranéenne qui aurait inclus tous les pays riverains de la Méditerranée et le Brésil. Et, dont la capital aurait été Aix en Provence... Beau rêve.
Sometimes Millhaud‘s music sounds like South or North American music with French manner. It's my shame I'd mistaken this masterpiece for the work of Copland for a long time……orz
10:12 De ahí el orígen de la canción el sirenito de Rigo Tovar

Brilliant. Milhaud takes a bunch of banalities and creates a masterpiece.
?
Too fast
Really? What tempo do you prefer?
gfrgio too sliwly
This is NOT with score. This is the full instrumental recording with the piano duet score. Nice? Yes.
Helpful? Not really.
Cute, but not profound, ballet like music.
that's kind of the point......
It's literally a ballet
