Le Jeune sanguine (1940) from Trois Poèmes de Louise de Vilmorin poem by Louise de Vilmorin (1902-1969) This mélodie is the second song in Auric’s cycle titled Trois poèmes de Louise de Vilmorin. Auric continued to write classical chamber music until his death. In 1962 he became the director of the Opéra National de Paris and later, chairman of SACEM, the French Performing Rights Society. Other popular film titles with scores by Auric include The Lavender Hill Mob, Roman Holiday, Beauty and the Beast, and Bonjour Tristesse. Among his most well-known scores is the music for the film Moulin Rouge. He forged a major career in the English movies of the 1940s and ’50s. He was also especially known for his film scores, which are consistently imaginative. Music criticism was an important part of Auric’s career his writing focused on promoting the ideals of Les Six and Cocteau. Auric and Francis Poulenc became fast friends and remained so for life. Around 1914, he widened his acquaintances to include members of Les Six, a group of composers informally associated with Erik Satie and Jean Cocteau, and became a part of their group. He composed a significant amount of avant-garde music during the years between 1910-20. Before he was twenty, Auric had orchestrated and written incidental music for several stage productions and ballets. He studied composition at the Paris Conservatoire with Georges Caussade, and later with Vincent d’Indy and Albert Roussel at the Schola Cantorum de Paris. The following year, the Société Nationale de Musique performed several songs he had composed.
