More than the other members of the group of French composers known as Les Six, Georges Auric (1899-1983)
made his mark as a composer of incidental and dramatic music. His early encounter with ballet impresario Serge Diaghilev
resulted in commissions for a number of dance scores. Among them were the slightly acerbic, mock-Romantic confections
Les F�cheux (1924) and Les Matelots (1925). The bulk of his ballet work, for Diaghilev and others, was produced between
1924 and 1934, and then between 1949 and 1952. Auric was also an early specialist in music for movies, a pursuit that
occupied him primarily between his two ballet phases. His first film score was for Jean Cocteau's notorious 1930 Surrealist
opus Le Sang d'un po�te, and his score for the 1932 film A nous la libert� also gained currency as a symphonic suite.
Film fanciers will have certainly encountered Auric's scores for the 1949-1950 Cocteau creations Les parents terribles
and Orph�e. And his Moulin Rouge, music for the popular 1952 film about Toulouse-Lautrec, even produced a pop hit,
"Where Is Your Heart?"
Born in 1899, Auric began his studies at the Montpellier Conservatory, then went on to the Paris Conservatory and the
Schola Cantorum, where he studied with d'Indy and Roussel. By the time he was 16, he had written Gaspard et Zo�,
music for a magic lantern show, as well as some 300 songs and piano pieces; at 18 came the ballet Les noces de
Gamache. He turned to comic opera at 20, with La Reine de coeur, a work he later destroyed. As part of the disillusioned
young generation that survived World War I, he joined the anti-Romantic movement that was forming around Satie
and Cocteau. The ideal was the new, the innovative, the urban, the American (in the rather limited and romanticized
French understanding of America), and Satie's concept of music as something that should produce "auditory pleasure
without demanding disproportionate attention from the listener." Auric found himself lounging around Satie in the
company of five other young composers: Poulenc, Milhaud, Honegger, Durey, and Tailleferre. The group was initially
called "Les nouveaux jeunes"; in 1920, critic Henri Collet dubbed them Les Six, although each member followed a
largely independent aesthetic path. Overall, there is much musical irony in Auric's works, in which popular tunes
are combined with advanced harmony. Because his music is most easily described by what it is not -- not as
lighthearted and tender as Poulenc's, not as dour as Honegger's, not as exuberant with polyrhythmy and
polytonality as Milhaud's -- Auric, like Durey and Tailleferre, never gained the popularity and respect of his
three more famous compatriots. Nevertheless, as critic Boris de Schloezer remarked in 1926, Auric's conscious,
self-ironic efforts to create the impression of superficiality, may conceal a profound musical impulse. In fact,
in 1930, the year he composed the score for Le sang de po�te, Auric wrote his Sonata for piano in F, a serious,
lyrically expressive work that may seem at odds with the composer's public image. In his later years, Auric
assumed a number of administrative responsibilities. From 1962 to 1968, he was the general administrator
of the Op�ra and Op�ra Comique in Paris. This was right in the middle of the his tenure, from 1954 to 1977,
as president of the French Union of Composers and Authors. He also wrote music criticism for Marianne,
Paris-Soir, and Nouvelles Litt�raires. Auric died in 1983.
