Six, Les
a name applied in 1920 to a group of innovative French composers. The group included L. Durey, D. Milhaud, A. Honegger, G. Auric, F. Poulenc, and G. Tailleferre. The members, who possessed distinctive creative individualities, were united by a striving for a new simplicity and structural clarity in musical language and by a renunciation of the aesthetics of impressionism. After the 1920’s Les Six lost the significance of a distinctive group. REFERENCEDiumeniP, P. Sovremennye frantsuzskie kompozitory gruppy”Shesti. “ Leningrad, 1964.How to thank TFD for its existence?
