Programe Notes:
" The remarkable writer and all-round artistic gadfly Jean Cocteau, who was the
inspirational figure behind the group of French composers called " Les Sixâ€
(which included Milhaud and Poulenc), was a collaborator in the creation of
numerous musical works. He provided the text for Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex , and
took part as narrator and/or director in performances of some of that
composer's other works. It was Cocteau who devised the scenario for Parade,
which may not be Satie's "greatest†work or his "most important†one, but
has come to be regarded as his most representative one. The premiere was given
by the Ballets Russes under Diaghilev's personal direction at the Théâtre du
Châtelet on May 18, 1917, with choreography by Léonide Mssine and décor by
Pablo Picasso."
