Darius Milhaud, "Le Bœuf sur le toit” ("The Bull on the Roof").

"Le Bœuf sur le toit” ("The Bull on the Roof") sur le toit" is a vibrant and playful work by French composer Darius Milhaud (1892–1974). Written between 1919 and 1920, it draws on Brazilian popular melodies Milhaud encountered during his stay in Rio de Janeiro. Bursting with syncopated rhythms, wit, and neoclassical clarity, the piece was originally conceived as a ballet. Its exuberant energy, irony, and kaleidoscopic structure reflect the joyful modernity, artistic crosscurrents, and lively spirit of postwar Paris.

Family oldies, timeless classics. This beloved winter recipe brings together tender veal, carrots, potatoes, tomato, onion, and celery root with its aromatic leaves, slowly simmered to comforting depth. Thyme adds warmth, while a final drizzle of fresh extra-virgin olive oil lifts every flavour. Rooted in tradition yet elegantly served, it celebrates memory, music, and the quiet joy of a shared table — paired with “Le Bœuf sur le toit” ("The Bull on the Roof") by Darius Milhaud.
